5 signs baby is coming soon

1. When parking on The Green in Richmond on Sunday, where cars park lined up next to each other, I realised I was too big to get out of the car and had to drive forward and have my car sticking out, climb over to the passenger side where there was a shorter car parked next to me, and then open the door on that side fully and stumble out

2. The other week I sat down for dinner not leaving enough space for my bump in between the chair and the table, and I later turned up for a physio appointment with 7 soured cream stains on a navy dress

3. When having a Face Time chat with the extended family on Saturday, there was a lot of oohing and aahing over how big I was and afterwards I had to get Daddy T to promise never to put his very pregnant wife in the entire picture on Face Time ever again. It’s really not very flattering to have me cover the full screen right now!

4. When I was sitting on the sofa with painful Braxton Hicks contractions the other day and pulled up my top to see my bump, Baby Girl was not happy with the view and immediately asked me to pull my top down again. A huge bump is now categorised as “not pretty”!

5. It’s already almost seven weeks since a kind employee at Royal Mail Delivery Office in Fulham offered to find me a chair when I came in to collect a parcel. Very worrying!
