    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.

    When sitting too long on the floor with your toddler results in your legs and *ahem* vajayjay going numb followed shortly after by pins and needles - ouch! .....gotta remember to get a cushion!

    lol, I love this thread...I swear there is something new to add for every pregnancy I have...

    • Walking is soooo much fun right now, especially when if feels like bub is about to fall out my whohar, lol...sitting is the most comfortable thing, especially in my recliner, but then bub must get a tad more space, so rolls and rolls and not too comfy if I get a foot under the ribs...
    • shaving my whohar by looking in the mirror, hahahaha, such fun...
    • shaving my legs now is a mammoth effort and I look like a weird contortionist..
    • bending, lifting, moving in general puffs me out these days, but how else can anything be done with 2 kiddies? unless I do it...
    • forgetting my bump is there and running into things - and it HURTS! especially around the belly button where I swear the skin is thinner (you think I would know it was there by now, but no, sometimes I do forget)
    • knowing my belly button is sticking out, but unable to see it anymore
    • painting my toe nails - again contortionist style!
    • getting up to pee at night when busting, only to find that there is not much pee at all, lol...
    • heartburn after anything (including water)...I agree with a previous poster, I may aswell eat the yummy delish stuff as I get the heartburn from the plain stuff anyway.
    • Laughing at my 3.5yr old who has a "frog" in his belly like mummy's baby. bahahaha
    • the joy of my kids climbing onto either side of my lap/bump and using their elbows or hands into it as leverage - NOT!
    • not being able to sit on the floor to play lego with my 3.5yr old as I can't reach across the floor anymore, lol, and my legs/whohar going numb from trying.


    OMGoodness the list goes on and on and on... but I love being preggers...even the morning sickness that I have most days of all my pregnancies...

    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....

    You can no longer just "roll" over in bed. It actually requires you to get on all fours and adjust yourself before trying to get comfortable AGAIN
