longest 8 weeks of my life - long.

I know Mrs Hendo! Dont you wonder how you could possibly get any bigger and fatter!
Thats good to you someone else feels the same way and its all normal like i thought - though quiet painful! Im not the sit at home and lounge around type either - i need to be doing something, cleaning, working and feeling useful, not useless.
I thought i would keep going for a bit longer at work, but nope after yesterday i had to finish up, it was extremly painful to keep going on. But i am going to keep working on reception until i have the little man as its such an easy job...though i do get quiet sore sitting down as everything is cramped up - but i can walk around and take regular breaks.

Finish up work now if your not comfortable - your comfort and bubs comes first!

I am SO with you girls! This pregnancy has been much harder than my 1st and I am in constant hip pain, with heartburn so bad I think labour is easier some time!

For some reason I have always been really frightened about still birth and just wish away the days till I have my baby safe in my arms!

Hang in there Summer and try to remember that the longer bubs stay put the better for them really even though, like me, you can't help wishing they would come a little early!

I hear you - looking ahead, it feels like it's going to take forever to happen. But then one day you'll look around and go "OMG, where did the weeks go..." At least this is what happens to me
And bubs are still doing so much developing & growing in there, and inside is the safest place for them for a few more weeks.

with first bub i finished 4 weeks early, turned into 5 'cause he was late, and I was bored out of my brains, but not in any pain or discomfort, so I cant empathise with you there, but i did find myself really missing the pregnant phase after he arrived, and wished i had of been more positive about the waiting time.

This time I finished work with 2 weeks until due date, I am now over that 2 weeks, and am more uncomfortable than last time, yet am trying to make the most of this, even though my brain is saying hurry up baby.

Re the extreem pain, it does sound like bubs has moved down, and this could indicate an early labor, but bubs could still move back up and give you some relief.

just don't wish the preganancy to be over too soon, it's an amazing experience and there are some that never get to have it.
