same here... in theory 40+3 (but I think I'm actually 39+4), and I'm waiting. Everytime I bump into an acquaintance they go, "oh, you're still here!", and I go, "...yep."

Friends and family keep calling me for news, too - I WILL LET YOU KNOW!!!

Honey, that is pretty much what I'm doing... Just going to sit it out here at home, close to everything and nice and safe, trying not to eat everything in the cupboards Smile thank god for box sets

I feel your pain. I'm 38+4, can't get comfortable, swollen fingers, lot of discharge, backache and waking up at night with mildly painful Braxton Hicks. :D Luckily family aren't constantly asking after me but if I get the slightest twinge DH goes into a panic and he expresses a ton of concern and worry at me walking across the road to the parent & toddler group I take our DS to. :/

So I can't wait for her to arrive!

Due date of 11 Nov but convinced he is going to come sooner..... Got all your symptoms except the discharge.

To be honest I just want him out now - had enough of being pregnant
