Streeeetch!
I've just noticed my maternity dungarees are made out of stretchy denim. I'm disproportionately pleased by this.
The majority of maternity wear available is just ordinary clothing with a vague nod in the direction of expanding tummies, and even when sold by Mothercare (who I -obviously mistakenly - think ought to know what they're doing), they're mostly uncomfortable and just don't really get it.
But these do the job.
And they remind me of when stretch denim was all new and exciting and trendy and all the rage, all of - er - 25 years ago (blimey).
I am enormous, by the way. I have a very big tummy indeed. I got it out at the Alabama 3 gig on Sat night and was astonished by the reaction. I had a vague feeling people might tell me off or something, but I was too hot so out it came (the bump) (nothing else). And suddenly people were beaming at me and telling me how wonderful it was and how wonderful I was and how ace that my baby would grow up to be an Alabama 3 fan, and it was all rather lovely.
A friend of mine took a photo on her mobile phone, she too being full of general happiness and impressedness on my behalf. As soon as she can get it to me I will post it here.

I love seeing pregnant women. I makes me feel all earth motherly, grounded and part of the circle of life.
Actually I wish there was a name fora pregnant woman. I mean you don't get pregnant men do you? Well apart from the odd one or two.
You'd come back from somewhere and say to your friends, 'I've just meet a .....' and they'd all go 'Ah...'
'fora'???
Well perhaps that could be the name? I rather like it. How about you?
That's a lovely idea - that it makes people happy just seeing me! Makes me feel part of circle of life, too. And yes, we should have a special word all of our own.
