Drink!

Eat grapes preferably cold ones on a plate from the fridge. Then drink when you've finished the taxes. I was the size of a whale during the mega hot August 2003 and suffering the exact same problem. In fact I was so large I could balance the cold plate of grapes on the bump - that helped keep me refreshed too! The result of the bump (now aged 4) disturbs my work more often than needing the loo when pregnant ever did, so I am afraid it is not going to get any better for you...

Do what I did when I was working on my book in very late pregnancy - take your laptop into the loo with you and put a board on your lap. I knocked the chipboard bottom out of an old drawer and it worked fine.

Yes, I am disgusting. But peeing every ten minutes is such a waste of time.

Drink and pee, it's the only answer. If you don't, you might faint, which is embarrassing because you'll end up stranded on your back on the ground, wibbling your legs around like a beetle and if you're really pregnant it will take two big men to haul you up onto your feet because of the extra weight and your odd centre of gravity, and everyone will see your knickers in the process and learn that you're so pregnant you can't fit into your own, so you are now wearing your husband's.

Not that I'd know anything about that, you understand.

Jenn and Jane - don't make me laugh when I need a wee...

Catherine, you're very smart. To the grape aisle!

Get one of those nice olde worlde commodes. Should go well with your rural idyll. And I second Catherine on the bump becoming more trouble once he's out in the world. My grandson was one yesterday - brought it all back.

I think you'll find this is the answer.
