“Thirty two weeks today,” beams Jess, her cheeks flushed after a particularly exerting trip up the stairs. “We’re getting close.” I feel bad, like you do when you’re about to tell a child that his pet dog has been violently run over by a couple of cars. “Umm, actually,” I begin, raising my hands to [...]

You know when you’re sat on the loo after a particularly challenging steak the night before, and you know it’s going to be a big one, yet you also know that it is inevitable that somehow, at some point, it has to come out, and if it stays in there it’s only going to get [...]

I have a wisdom tooth growing through and the pressure on my gum is causing untold pain. “You have no idea how much pain I’m in.” I mutter glumly, nursing my jaw. Cue a stare that would make a nun cry. I suppose it is a tad unfair, this whole pregnancy thing. My part lasts [...]

I did something terrible this weekend. One moment of madness; a rush of blood to the head. Something which lasted for a moment, but which I will regret for the rest of my life. I joined a gym. Yeah. I know. Those of you who know me will be familiar with the fact that I [...]

I know I’m not the one giving birth, but I still regard the impending due date with a bit of anxiety and (dare I say it) fear. Sure, it’ll be easy for me; the hardest thing I’ll have to do is use a net to pluck a turd from the grimy waters of a bath, [...]
Week Twenty Six: “Which circles are clearer, the green or the red…?”

Jess is sat on the settee watching TV, and I’m beavering away on the computer, just waiting for the moment when I am asked to haul her to her feet so she can clump upstairs and have yet another soothing bath. Her grunts of pain as she rises from the seat have now morphed into [...]
