Oh bloody hell. Now it seems my viva date is the week of the 15th april... when I will be 36 weeks pregnant :(
I am insanely unhappy about this. I had Bean when I was 37 weeks! At 36 weeks I was pretty immobile and definitely very very stupid, absent minded, hormonal and in huge nesting mode. I hated going out of the house let alone to the other side of the country, For an exam. With strangers. This means I will have to travel 7/8 hours on the train, I will be huge and stressed and, if last time is anything to go by, in serious pain when walking :( PLUS this means I will have no maternity time and might be doing corrections with a newborn. My whole bloody fucking pregnancy will be about graft - finishing the PhD, moving house, hospital appts, and now the viva.
Well, I shan't be doing corrections with a newborn and a preschooler. The thing is I can't say this. As a stupid bloody professional I have to pretend my life doesn't exist so I have to say yes, I shall do the viva, yes I shall do the corrections. About to give birth or no, newborn or no.
Bah shit fucking wank tits. If my toddler wasn't in the room I would fully sob.

That's absolutely crazy. Can't you appeal to the University, given your circumstances? It's not a question of professionalism, it's a question of safety.
You should DEFINITELY request a different date!
Thanks for your support. Is totally shit. Am over a barrel with it really.
Hope you are doing a-ok?!
