Congratulations, Alfie. We'll soon be in Tri 3 together! I don't know about you, but I'm starting to panic a bit about how quick this is all going. I mean, I've been a parent for 10 years and have two kids already and I'm going into tri 3 - I SHOULD be an old hand at this by now, so why do I feel this sense of impending terror?

I AM looking forward to meeting my new baby really, I just wonder whether I'll ever be truly ready.

I have 2 kids already too. I wish it was going fast but I'm finding that its going really slowly. I don't do the "glowing" pregnancy thing, more like the "fat, knackered and hanging" look!!!! So it'll be nice to have it and get that nasty birth bit all over and done with!!!

Congrats alfie!

I don't think you'd be normal, WendyWandy if there weren't some worries in your mind, third child or no. I'd take that as a good sign. Only responsible people worry.

 

Does anyone "glow"? My granny keeps saying how "healthy" I look, but I've come to realise, with advancing age, that just means you're getting fatter. I have put on over 2 stones already and seemingly thre biggest weight gain has still to come

I'm already struggling to get into my car and even turning over in bed is a huge effort. Funnily enough, despite all of this and having the worst varicose veins in the history of someone in their 30s , I'm still happy to be pregnant forever. Well, that's not entirely true: at the weekend there, when I drove my friends and dropped them off outside a club, I wished I could just pause the pregnancy the odd weekend. The next morning though, when I was up and about early-ish, feeling fresh (compared to them in their hung-over states, that is), I felt quite virtuous and glad I was pregnant and not able to go out and over-indulge and all that sort of "nonsense" that I'm not able to do right now.

I didn't enjoy my last two pregnancies, but I even love having a bump this time. I think I'll begin to get more fed up with being so big as time goes on though. It's just that I wanted to have transformed my life (and my house) in the 9 months and, with only 3 months to go, that's looking less likely
