I'm still enjoying being pregnant for the most part, but I have to admit that the swollen ankles, waddling, big belly, breathlessness, reflux...sometimes really get to me.

I NEED a new pair or knee-high boots, but my ankles are too swollen to fit any - and the shop assistants all think it's because I'm overweight, so they look at me patronisingly and say "we don't have anything in your size." It takes me 10 minutes to roll over in bed. I take twice as long to walk anywhere, to the point that DH and I have to plan our shopping trips around places where I can sit down and rest. Eating dinner leaves me breathless and give me reflux, to the point of exhaustion.

No one talks to me about anything other than birth, breastfeeding, nappies, and how "big" or "small" I am. I have three degrees FFS, I can talk about other things!!!

And my DH is also making sound effects for impending birth. He also thinks my boobs should be a national icon (they're certainly big enough).

But...I'm still loving being pregnant and am so looking forward to meeting my precious little man. No doubt at 40+weeks I won't be feeling so patient.
