I thought some people were like that all the time. My particular hates are 1)adults riding bikes on the pavement and nearly mowing down your small child and 2) people who walk two abreast on the pavement and don't move aside for you. I have actually stopped walking on occasion because I wasn't willing to step in the road to let people continue two abreast and had individuals actually walk into me! I could rant all day about it.

I've had number 2 happen to me a few times. You have to call them a few choice words, my fav being c*nt which makes them stop and look then get embarrassed when they see the bump.

I'm sat at the hair dressers just waiting for my slot. Going to get my shoulder length hair chopped off its lovely just sitting here doing nothing

Can I add to the list with people on the train who take up a whole seat with their bags/coat? Lol

Mobility scooters for me. Especially when you can see the only reason they have them is because they're so huge and spilling out the seat and then stare at you like you're dirt because you won't move out the way quick enough!

I was having a nice dream then got woken up at 4am by bump wriggling around lots. I was just getting off to sleep when I felt a head or something drop into my pelvis, which was a bit freaky! I'm hoping if it is a head that it stays there as baby has been transverse, oblique and breach at all my midwife appointments!

OH has got man flu so he was sniffling and grunting all night too and neither of us could get back to sleep till the alarm nearly went off!

Is it me or are people incredible rude and ignorant when you're pregnant? I walk to/from work and get fed up of others walking/cycling straight at me and expecting me to get out of the way by jumping in the middle of the road and passing really closely and not giving me room. I'm probably just being extra sensitive though!

I also get fed up of the big bump/tiny bump and carrying high/low comments, all in the same day! And the 'You'll be lucky to make it full term' and 'You've got a shock coming' comments! Thanks!

And then afterwards you have pram problems! For some reason some people think prams are not really necessary and therefore they have right of way, all it takes is a bit of courtesy both ways! As if babies are any more capable of walking than anybody else who needs mobility aids!

Oh, yeah, I hadn't even thought of that! At least you can run over people's feet with a pram!

It's whole new world out there isn't it?! I met my friend and her three month old baby for lunch yesterday and we struggled to squeeze the pram in the cafe. How am I going to cope with doors, stairs and lifts?! :eek:

Congrats Kayalana, beautiful picture!

Midwife again today, am knackered, up all last night feeling sick. Starting to get cramps in my stomach now and then, but maybe only once or twice a day. Had no braxton hicks or anything so feeling a bit in the dark about what to expect.

Is anyone else who's now on mat leave struggling to let go of work? This is the first time I've not worked for a substantial period of time since I was a kid so it's a complete culture change for me.

Yep, I feel the same tiny not missing having to get up early but find it really odd not to be at work. It still feels like i'm just on a weeks holiday though and will be going back soon lol.

im on the mat leave countdown - so much looking forward to not getting up in the morning.
ive already warned DH that he is not allowed to make lists of stuff for me to do while im on leave, its my time to relax and enjoy the quiet when i can barely move since im going to be the one who's up adn down all night when the baby arrives

hehe yep, definitely not missing getting up early (but then it's not like I'm sleeping well so not so much benefit there) but there is still the holiday feeling, like I need to keep involved so I don't miss out on anything. I'm sure it'll pass once baby arrives!
