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

Rofl I am exactly the same! I know what you mean about running into things! And you're right it really hurts! O please let the next 5 weeks go quickly!!

[kungfubecca]

and I say, right now
I do not miss the heart burn and I am now taking full advantage of the eater chocolate still in the house,
I am so glad to be able to sleep on my tummy now,
I enjoy not getting up to pee every 2 hours at night, to find there is nothing coming out.
I am loving being able to go back to sleep if I wake at 4am. (which I often do with a newborn)
I have so much more energy now & am not getting puffed reading my son bedtime stories.
I can bend to do the washing!
I can reach the kitchen sink

But all in all I miss my belly that was large for a reason, not just floppy hairy streched skin, nd I miss the movements, but I have my beautifull little girl that is doing well and already growing fast.

Now if only I could find where I put my ab muscles, I think I could do with those right now....

Every night now I get numb hands whilst I sleep, usually both hands too - makes it difficult to grab the doona!

Also, is anyone else sick of feeling starving then having two mouthfuls of food and feeling like you ate a huge meal - its driving me insane!

[Lewis's Mummy]

what about getting up to the loo during the night and having to race there and still only just getting there and then doing that thimble full! It's driving me crazy! Bub is pressing really hard on my bladder when I'm lying on my side and then when I get up to go he/she presses even more and I'm lucky to get there!

O and as for the acrobatics needed to wipe myself dry after a shower... if my belly gets much bigger or the tendons in my pelvis much looser I'll just have to stand there and drip dry for safety's sake! lol

I just got back from Hamilton Island and we only had one day of sun - but enough for me to get a tan line - half-way down my thighs!!! My belly shadowed the top of my thighs so now I have this ridiculous looking diagonal tan line on each leg!!

MummyTummy - Haha...too funny!

I must be lucky then - my DF cuts my toenails when i ask him to lol. Also he has started putting my socks on for me on the days when everything is really uncomfortable.

I seem to have great days where i feel very comfortable, then crap days when i cant even roll out of bed due to very painful pressure down below.

I have been so excited about meeting my little man, that i actually have wished this pregnancy along so quickly and have not sat back and taken the time to really enjoy it and be marvelled by it - which is what i am slightly disappointed about. It feels like yesterday that we were just trying for this baby...now in 4 weeks he will be here!

You are lucky - I don't know I would ask my DH to do that. I am lucky to can still do my own...esp since I broke my toe and have to remove & reapply the bandage at least twice a day for showering. I think it would drive DH balmy doing that for me & me going 'ouch ouch ouch' as he was lovingly applying the bandage!

[Summer24]

I had to ask - my toe nails were getting so long they were starting to put holes in my socks and hitting the end of my shoes! Though now i can feel the start of an ingrown toe nail....thanks Craig lol jks.

OUCH...broken toe, how did you do that! Hope it heals quickly for you!

[Kass79]

When you have dreams your waters have broken, only to wake up and check, and find your dry lol

Not sleeping at all! Dreaming about pains (maybe they real / maybe they not)

[Summer24]

When you and your partner are lying in bed watching tv - and your partner suddenly makes a vocal noise that sounds like water splashing. You ask what on earth is he doing, and he looks at you and says "did your water just break?"...."lets try and break it"!!!!

Or he rings you every day to ask if anything has happened!!

Poor DF - He thinks just cos my twin sister went 7 weeks early that i was going to go early also! But nope - little man is still in there which i am more than happy about.

[Renee_AW]

OUCH...broken toe, how did you do that! Hope it heals quickly for you!

Soccer with the back door....trying to do too many things at once & not concentrating on where I was going. It has been two weeks now & only just able to stand the weight of the bedsheets on my foot again...hopefully it will be better for birthing...I know that I won't feel my toe with everything else going on but don't want it to be painful in the following days!

[kirsten74]

Having to wear slip on shoes because you can't even SEE your feet, let alone get down that far to put on socks AND shoes AND do the laces!

toward the end i found myself getting excited about being able to DTD plain ol' missionary style again XD
