New 38 week mum-to-be

[Sylvie]

Hello everyone
I've been reading you for a good few months, which has always been very helpful for me, and I've finally decided to register now that I've got less than two weeks left!
I live in Birmingham. I'm French and my partner is English so baby will have the chance to speak two languages,,, We're expecting a baby boy who will be called Louis (easy to say for both families).
These last few weeks are rather long (as other mums-to-be from the third trimester may know!),,, some days I feel quite confident and some days I just feel terror at the idea of giving birth
Will talk to you soon when I have some stupid questions coming to my mind

Hello Sylvie and mini-Louis

Good to see you here and I think at 38 weeks you might JUST have snuck onto the 'who's left at term?' list! Inforabumpyride will be jealous

Have you had a good pregnancy so far?

Yes so far I think I've been quite lucky: no morning sickness, no BIG problems... was diagnosed with SPD while I was still working (standing up all day as a teacher in secondary schools) but it got better as soon as I managed to stay home,,, bad backache since a few weeks, but a nice warm bath and I'm feeling better
Tonight I keep complaining because my tummy feels so stretched that I feel like a ball about to burst and every single movement baby makes seems amplified by 100% But I guess it's normal at 38 weeks,,,
And I should add: no B-H contractions!

Ooh another teacher! Woohoo! Do you teach MFL by any chance being French?! I've heard it's one of the most difficult subjects to teach in terms of planning and resources so I don't envy you.

I'm a Maths teacher.

There seem to be loads of us on here!!

Are you also on the TES forums? There's a thread on Personal on there called the Marvellous Maternity Department which is also great!

Hi dear colleague Yes I'm teaching French, and a little bit of Spanish. The most common problem is "why do we need to learn other languages? everyone speaks English anyways,,,"
I didn't know there was a maternity forum on the TES website, I'm going to have a look!

And thanks to you all for your warm welcome,,, I should have registered earlier instead of secretly reading you, ha ha!
