They feel just like period cramps – tres horribles……a dull uncomfortable backache with lower abdominal discomfort and intermittent pain spasms off and on, without any regularity. I suppose this is what they call Braxton Hicks contractions. I never had them with Tee at all (who refused to come out until she was forced to be sliced out like a chicken!) but this baby is perhaps more eager to greet the world with her middle finger. Maybe she’s more nosey than Tee, if that is at all possible! The latest she’d be coming out would be at week 38 because of my diabetes but of course, if she wanted to come out sooner, it’s not like we could put a toilet plunger up my ‘you know what’ and tell her to hang in there for a bit.

My Doctor said that on any day, if the pain gets unbearable, to go straight to the hospital and in the meantime, to stop gallivanting and lie low. She knows me so well, that woman.

I have not packed a hospital bag. I have not bought maternity pads. I haven’t a single nursing bra. I need to hunt down my breast pads from some cave within my apartment. I have not made emergency plans for what we’d do with Tee should I need to rush into hospital at 4am in the morning. Plus, Mom is abroad this fortnight – very nice. I am depending completely on my super-power breasts to work for the baby’s nourishment. There are no bottles, pacifiers, milk formula, back ups of any sort. Gosh, we haven’t even bought nappies and to think the baby could come out tomorrow! We’re just going to wing this and fly!!!

Just for record purposes, Mom needs to get sesame oil, Chinese wine, red dates, what else, what else? My lack of memory fails me again.

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
