I have a little girl 14 mths who comes 3 and a half days. Over the last 2 months it has become more noticable that mums tum is getting bigger and rounder - she is a slim built lady so not hard to notice tbh. My own DD has even asked me when is Fs mum having her baby
A couple of times recently she has arrived late and appearing very tired and dishevelled - you know, just like when you are pregnant and everything is an effort - this is a woman who was originally very impeccably dressed and always punctual.
She has arrived on 2 or 3 occaisiions recently with a noticably rounded bump - the warmer weather making it more obvious as no cardis or jackets.
BUT SHE HASNT SAID A WORD !
I have never been one to ask someone outright if they are pregnant as I would be scared stiff to get it wrong but this is soo obvious even I cannot keep telling DD how its possible she just has put on a bit of weight like my big tum
I have given her plenty of opportunities. She is often the only one here due to dropping off differant times and even sits down for up to 20 mins so its not like she hasnt had chances to mention it?!
She mentioned today how DD is getting clingy so i even said "oh they often sense when there are changes happening at home" no response. We even talked about future brothers and sisters last month in relation to something else and another of my parents had a baby who we went to see and nothing?
Thing is I have a vacancy coming up soo as one of my other charges is starting school. I am getting enquiries from parents of babies but at presnet would not take them on as I already have 2 under 2's
But if her LO is leaving in say Autumn due to maternity leave then I WOULD persure these enquiries as I would be able to manage them.
So starting to get a bit fed up with the secrecy now.
Unless she thinks she has told me in pregnancy forgetfulness
any advice folks?
