Well, it was inevitable, wasn’t it! Here we are again with the due date in the past and wondering when on earth this baby will make an appearance! I am now 40+3 and getting more and more fed up as the days go by! Nothing really to report in the way of twinges. I am [...]

Well, I am now 39+3 and, if I’m honest, being heavily pregnant is starting to become a bit of a chore. I feel SO huge and slow and heavy, and it is hard work dragging myself around and doing things. I’ve not got much energy, I feel really tired and today I’ve been feeling particularly [...]
