    Red face You know you are getting towards the end when....

    .... your maternity jeans no longer fit over your bump!!

    The roll up bit keeps peeling down because it doesn't fit any more, but the rest of the jeans are fitting just fine!!

    I hope the rest of your pregnancies go smoothly and you'll be holding your precious bubbas in your arms in no time.

    Good luck ladies.

    For me it's when I find myself thinking...

    JUST GET OUT.

    I don't care about going through labour again anymore. HURRY UP AND GET OUT because I want to lie on my tummy or my back again.

    And I am jealous of anyone who has a c-section or induction because they KNOW how much longer they have to go.

    Like I am right now...

    Im hearing you all!

    My clothes dont fit me anymore and my belly keeps showing. My trousers slip down when i try pull them over my bump! I cant even see my girly area to shave it! To put shoes on that need doing up i resort to sitting on the ground attempting to do them up. I hate trying to put socks on. Its a fair effort to walk outside a couple of metres to go down and feed my horses - then i have to walk back up to the house from a hilly paddock and i near have a heart attack.

    Gotta love the third trimester!
    As i said to my fiance. I love being pregnant knowing that my little man is in there. But it just sucks being so awkward and uncomfortable all the time!

    Oh Mel - I do understand the bum-wiping thing!! I'm not too bad, but it is certainly more of an effort than it should be!! Maybe I should try the Little Squirt!!!

    BG - Such a shame you don't have go-go gadget arms to get those dishes done!! Oh well, the Bhoy will just have to take up the slack!!

    Curly - Oh yeah.... tummy sleeping...... I remember that!

    Summer - I went and had my girly area waxed, but I don't think she did a very good job, but I can't complain because I can't see it to prove it!! And don't get me started on my shoes!! Along with my jarmies and trakky-daks I am going to be living in thongs! Hopefully my feet won't get too wet or cold!

    ...peeing in those little containers for a urine test ends up with wee everywhere because you can't see your bits, the wee stream or the container and you are doing it all by braille.

    i am loving the trakky pants, with a belly band to cover the bits that the t shirt doesn't cover.

    Curly, i know what you mean. It sure would be handy to know when our little one is gonna arrive.

    I am almost with you! Was just telling DH how much of a balance it is - close enough so i can touch the pedals but far enough back so my tummy doesn't touch the wheel.

    Hehe - I'm not quite there yet, but I have a really great electric seat that raises and lowers so I can put the back in to layback mode and raise the seat so I can still reach the pedals and see out the windscreen!

    he he,


    I have been teaching my 2 yo to say hurry up baby.

    My pants also fall down, but i can't wer jammies all day and it's too hot for trackies still, and I can't be bothered finding a belly band, I have 3 they are somewhere here

    I would love to do anything on my tummy right now, but most of all I know I will still be waking up at night, but at least I might not have heart burn when I lie back down again, and might be able to go back to sleep!!

    Oh and I've been craving mcdonalds sundays' for a few weeks.

    oh and you forgot the most important sign of being over it, every person commenting on the fact you must be over it, because your big, or uncomfy, or overdue.

    I remember with DS#1 it was I could hardly fit through the shower door anymore AND could not stand up for more than 30 mins before I had very bad lower back pain....although this started at 6 months!

    With DS#2...I didn't want it to be over as my OBGYN was on hols o/s! He was due the 3 or 4th May and she came back to work on the 29th April.....guess who was born on the 29th April?! Her first welcome back home baby!!! lol

    Will get back to you with this babeeee!
