    A huge congratulations scottishchick. hope you both are well and you are enjoying your cuddles. xxxx :0)

    i have had to chop my very comfy joggers as they no longer fit me comfily. :( they were my best ones - even though having paint splutters on them lol. but now the band comes across the tummy and hurts me and kind of pulls tum. :( oh well need new BIG Ones and these were a size 16. i am a fatty.

    i am sure i will get hungry soon.

    wow queenb, if you can then its great. i thought i would take 3 weeks before ddate but like you said the commute is killing me and even if i am working at home, i cant be bothered to work as my head is already thinking about little one lol. i thought i would leave at around 36 weeks but 33 isnt that bad is it? ;)

  • Nah course not Rups.:)

    For me it doesnt help that Christmas and winter is coming up, don't want to risk travelling in bad weather and I find that I get headaches when I drive in the dark.

    i know i should just listen to my body rather than feel guilty about stuff esp as my handover at work is going so slow. to be honest,, i dont care but the way my manager went on today just stressed me out. iam working from home a bit more now but he wants me in more which is understandable and i get tired so its a weird situation. aghh cant wait to leave lol

    i have nothing else to eat. what can i eat? i fancy bad food but we have none now...

    QueenB, I stopped working at 25 weeks. I mainly took the decision because it was the only way to get maternity allowance, but I do mot think I would have bbeen able to work past.the 30 or 32 week nevertheless, I teach adults and I would have needed to prepare the classes and talk for hours, I would not have been able to have a babybrain day and I am getting out of breath very easily when I talk for a while! I had a.20min presentation a few weeks ago and after 5min I had to apologize and get my breath back! I am very glad I stopped too, I am more rested, more focused on the baby and my body and I am getting a lot of "me-time", which I will find difficult to have afterwards.

    Savage, I am looking forward to know how your birth goes ( when the time comes. Not putting pressure on you, lol), since we are both aiming for a water birth and some hypnobirth... which I haven't properly followed yet.. How are you doing with that? I have a CD, which I have passed to mp3, let me know if you want to have a listen...

    Cherrydrop, thanks.for your birth story, I love reading them! Your baby is very cute!

    Ps. Sorry for typos.and random dots between words. I am posting with.the phone and I do not know why it keeps adding dots when I am not even pressing that key!! It is difficult to edit afterwards, I cannot just scroll the text.

    that is so good marta and how it should be. to hell with 'i can work till the end' as i cant and yep i get out of breathe, have made lots of mistakes at work. at the end of the day it is money-related also, and if i am meant to go back earlier, so be it. we will cross that bridge when we get there.

    are any of you still driving around? iam finding that a bit hard too nowadays and dh seems to be calling me to pick him up from here and there. taxi service.

    I need some driving lessons before I drive again, I have not driven in the last 6 years because I was used to drive in Europe and never drove in England. I am scared of turning the wrong way!!

    I forgot to congratulate you, scottishchick!! I am looking forward to reading your birth story!

    I am having raspberry leaf tea now. I actually enjoy it! The Clippers one is very good, very fruity! :) I bought about 6 boxes of 20 in Amazon when they were on offer. Lol, I have tea for months!!

    My boobs have not grown a lot, just about a size up at the minute. But my nipples have doubled their size in my opinion. Anyone has had the same experience?
