Anastasia’s pregnancy diary – weeks 38–40
continued from page 2
And my belly is still sitting up here right under my massive-but-dwarfed breasts. It hasn’t even ‘dropped’ (or engaged into the pelvis). There are those who believe you can still go into labour if your bump is high but they’re few and far between. That’s why I’ve taken to jumping up and down every once in a while. Nick came running up into the bathroom last night. I thought I was being discreet, but apparently the sound of my massive frame pogoing like Tigger sounded like thunder downstairs and gave the game away. He opened the bathroom door and there I was, like a jumping bean, red-faced and staring at him defiantly. He looked like he’d seen a ghost. ‘What are you doing?’ he exclaimed, alarmed and clearly worried about my sanity. ‘Trying to get the baby to drop.’ I answered between thuds. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

All I can say is, if I end up writing weeks 40–42, shoot me now.
