I don't get to go on maternity leave until April 23rd! And that's taking an extra 2 weeks off before my due date, some co workers have waited until the day of! So jealous of the maternity leave rules you ladies have in the UK!
It is coming up pretty quickly though, I have a LOT left to do in order to be ready to hand over my class to a substitute for the rest of the school year.

That's me too! I'm due the last week of school (May 23), still trying to decide when I should go on leave. Original plan was to wait til I went into labor, but I dunno if I can keep going that long! Plus, if LO comes early, I need to make sure I have sub plans ready anyways.

My gorgeous little girl is due the 24th!

Im so lucky to finish this early. I can't wait, work is totally depressing me so I'm looking forward to relaxing and helping hubby with his business by doing his books etc.

Hope your time at work goes quickly xxx

Hey, I will be updating the list tomorrow so if you want adding (and haven't posted yet) then post today!

How is everyone doing?

Baby is breech gr! Can be really uncomfortable when trying to sit or breathe or do anything infact! I really hope she has turned by my next appointment in a weeks time :s she's misbehaving already lol. XX

I am partly dreading finishing work...I do random night shifts (like tonight) and I get days off before and after them, and by the end of the day I am so bored! Today I have scrubbed the kitchen, organised all of my old clothes I hate into bags for charity and binned a load, I have vacuumed, wandered around the house with a cloth, sorted out my sock draw and deliberately avoided the nursery because I want something to do for when I next have a day off! I finish work the 29th April. What the hell am I going to do with a month off??

im due the same day as u but with number 4

with my first lo i wanted to finish work at 37 weeks, and was all agreed, then at 35+4 ( friday) i broke down and said i couldnt do it anymore, 4 flights of stairs umteen times a day and loads of crappy standing around, so i went on leave from 5pm that day, i slept sat all day, got up sunday and scrubbed the entire flat, watched hollyoaks and eastenders and cos i was bored already, went to bed woke up the monday morning 9am sat up waters went (36 weeks exactly) got to hospital and she waas born 45 minutes later , i was home the next lunchtime amazed and glad i was home and not in work

ur princess might not stay around till due date

I hope not my mum had me and 3 of my siblings SO overdue. She was induced for all of us and we all took a long time coming. Our pregnancies have so far been identical...very very easy pregnancies, taking a long time to get a bump, full of energy, no MS, craving the same things.....so I think that maybe I am going to have an overdue baby also, and it also being over 9lb!! (I was 9.6lb, my brother was 10.8 or something crazy!)

 

[Mya209]

I finish work on the 21st of April. It doesnt feel too long off but I'm exhausted all the time (not really from the bump but just in my head like I havent had enough sleep!) I cant bloody wait!! I hope the next 8 weeks go fast!!

 

[wild2011]

my first was 10lb 11, @ 36 weeks imagion going to due date

fingers crossed for u she arrives nearer the 37 week mark

 

[XJessicaX]

wow! 10.11lb! I know bigger babys are meant to be easier to birth though, so not massively worried. I am a big girl, 5'10 and my OH is 6'3...she is going to be one leggy little madame I am waiting for the weight to pile onto her, so far she is hiding away in my abdomen very neatly and already friends are guessing that she will only be around 7lb, but I am placing my bets on 9.2lb.

 

[wild2011]

u never know,

had several stitches after delivering her but other than that all fine, gravity was on my side, my second was only 5lb dead on and then a 7lb 8 for 3rd, having a boy this time and bets r on him being as big as my first my bump is rather huge!

 

[XJessicaX]

Does bump size actually mean anything when it comes to the size of the baby? An old friend of mine has only recently given birth and she was huge...huger than huge. Poor girl! She could barely walk by 30 weeks she was that huge and she had a 7lb baby (which surprised us all) so I presumed she just carried a lot of amniotic fluid?

 

[wild2011]

it varies, i have huge placentas too but mw also thought he was big ive got mw thursday so will see how he is measuring again. in my case its worked out that big bump has been big baby with the others, on my 5lber i didnt look pregnant barely .

 

[wild2011]

this was 3 days ago,

a lying down one, if i stand up it just grows and grows, its solid everywhere too lol

 

[XJessicaX]

It IS your 4th though, so your body is more apt at stretching. I have a pathetic bump, but it is my 1st..so the old abdo muscles are at war against the uterus!

 

[wild2011]

yeah there's that, make it 4th and last

i bet ull pop at about 35 weeks x

 

[XJessicaX]

The bump is growing, I posted the recent one on the bump thread. I think il have a D shaped bump by 30..maybe 32. With my new addiction to Cadburys chocolate caramel eggs maybe 28 weeks!

 

[nnn84]

Well, I am now officially in 3rd Trimester!

My due date is 22 May, and they think I'm on team

Hope you are all keeping well!
