toenails? we have toenails?!
Forget painting them - I'm having to get DH to cut them for me now!
Another here who needed a laugh and can relate all too well.
For me - it's seeing my students jump out of their seats to pick up my pen when I drop it, and passing empty drink cans to colleagues to crush for me cos getting them to the floor and picked up again is just too hard.
It feels like it won't be long before I'll need DH to dry my feet after my shower, too.

When you can't get out of the bath without feeling like your ankles are going to snap...... I needed my DF's assistance to get out. Let's just say that experience stopped me from going anywhere near the bath during labour.

Oh I remember all of these so well. I got to 38 weeks with two 6lp babies so you could say I was rather large by the end. The things I can remember is
-not being able to shave your legs, don't even mention the bikini line I didn't know mine existed by the end
-getting someone to help you get your shoes on and off
-people looking at you like you are some kind of freak lol
-having a table for your drink or a plate of food
I had to laugh at the comment about not fitting in the car. We had to rearrange some stuff in our garage that was next to the car because I could no longer fit through and once the babies seats got put in our family car (our drivers seat had to come forward a little) I could only drive the other car because I couldn't fit behind the wheel anymore LOL

I had a midwife appointment yesterday, and when she went to measure me from the pelvic bone to the top of the fundus, she asked "What's this? Movember?" because I obviously had a little line of hair that hadn't quite made it into my undies.
"I can't see down there!" was all I could say in reply!

What a great thread Baby Blip!
I'm not that huge yet, but the other day I hopped in the middle backseat of my parent's car, only to find that the belt wouldn't fit around me!

... you send your husband a message to tell him that he has to tell his boss that he is taking tomorrow off work in order to stay home and do his wife all day so as to bring the baby on.....

Having to sit on the bed to put undies on.
Using your toes to pick something up with.
My personal favourite when your sitting on the couch and so is your stomach(was not happy when this happened).
hugs xoxo

what a great thread!!!
When -
* you wear slip on shoes cos you really couldnt be stuffed trying to wear anything else!! too hard.....
* you can't see your private parts and can't really remember what it looks like!! haha
* you don't shave your legs anymore because you simply just cannot!
* you drop food on your belly all the time
* your husband can rest his beer on your belly and use it as a table while watching TV!! haha!!
* everyone rubs your belly like you are some sort of little Buddha!!! good luck charm!?!?!
* ppl say "have you lost weight" because all your weight is in your belly and nowhere else!!! making your face look slimmer at least hehe
* you struggle to bend down to put your undies on!! anyone else have trouble or just me?? geez its hard putting pants on!
* your dog cuddles up next to you and instead of their head on your leg they use your belly as a pillow LOL
* you drop something on the floor and think about whether its worth picking it up or not as its such a hassle to bend down!!!
* when you sit on a beanbag and have to call out to your DH to help you up!!! (yes really!) i was stuck!
* You pour a bath and lie down and even though the water is max level, your belly protrudes way out at the top haha
TsMummy - your last one is a classic!!!!

having your toddler balancing precariously for a cuddle because there's not much 'lap' left.....

in the days leading up to DDs birth i clearly remember sitting in the rain for a good 10 minutes cause i couldnt be bothered trying to get myself outta the deck chair. DH had to come and rescue me.
also you know you are getting huge when shop assistants look at you with pure terror...dont go into girly fashion stores 38 weeks pregnant is the moral to that story LOL!

- it takes a careful 5 minute balancing act to get your knickers on.
- you fill the bath tub on half way but when you get in a Tsunami occurs and the bathroom is flooded with water.
- your stuck in the bath tub for an hour because you can't get out and your DH is downstairs watching T.V, he can't hear your screams. By the time he comes to check on you, your a prune, cold and all the calm vibes from the bath have gone out the window.

the bath scenario happened to me tonight!!!! no more bathing unless Dan is in screaming distance.
Registered User
haha im with the ladies who cant pick up hand bags and clean benchs as they go - some cleaning company could make some very good $$ selling preg shirts that come with leaning rags attached to the belly! ... as for the ladies who got stuck in the bath, that hasnt happend yet but i did get suck between a book case and the couch...DH had to move the couch for me
i had a classic one tonight when i saw my mum and dad and nanna...
she's 88 years old and showed ME how to get out of a chair easier then i had been!

When you would rather park a long way away from the door, in a park that has an Island next to the drivers door so you can open it, and hope that the walk to the shops will help induce labour.
You need to buy shares in Tena Lady
Your house smells like Clary Sage oil
All of your nappies and baby clothes have been washed twice and you are contemplating doing it again
You look for a toilet when you arrive anywhere, even if it is only 5 minutes from home.
You consider buying a 4 wheel drive or other high vehicle so that you can slide in and out of the car.
DH goes to sleep in the spare room because with both you and the body pillow on the bed there is just no more room, no matter how big your bed is!!
Some days you dont bother with knickers because they will get lost
Your thongs are getting tight because of the fluid retention
Your toddler is learning to fetch things for you, and can be trusted to get your phone for you when the big moment arrives.
You have your pregnancy record with you at all times
You have your birth bag in the boot at all times
Your freezer is so full of frozen meals that you dont have room for the weekly/fortnightly shopping.
You spend more time in the empty but decorated nursery than anywhere else, except maybe the toilet
I know I will have more

Ironing in your bra and undies and burning your belly!! Ouch!
