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!
... 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).
@ kitten!
sterla- I've done the same kinda thing...i hoped into a friends Kingswood...and the belt didnt fit under my bump eather!
i had another one today. we went to bunnings and dad saw a disabled park and said "you're big enough to count for that arent you?" then when we parked in a normal one dad parked one car park over - why? So i had more room to 'open the door so you can swing your self out & land on your feet' according to dad...

Baby-Blip, What a crack up! thats so funny. DH has to come get me out of the car also cause I can't reach my handbag once I put it on the floor near my feet. So when he opens the door he grabs my hand bag then me. Oh how great our our boys sometimes. I am so going to make sure our little man learns these lovely habits!
I just had to laugh at all the new ones lol even DF go a laugh by looking over my shoulder.
I just found that the belly sits on the kitchen chair as well... and that it's all I can see when I'm lying down.
The most embarrasing thing was trying to get through the checkout at ALDI yesterday, and found that I could only just squeeze past another womans trolley... and got myself a nasty bruise on the belly at the same time.
You clean all the countertops with your bump as you are working, don't realise you have done it and go out with greasy marks under the bump area of your maternity top (the bit you can't see). I bleached the countertops the other day and managed to get big bleach marks all over my new top, didn't realise until I took it off at night though.
When an electricity company rings up offering you a discount and you can't be bothered getting up and walking to the study to get a bill to see if you are eligible because it means you will have to get up from lying on the couch!
My mum parked next to another car and said 'you won't be able to get past both the side mirrors' (they were right next to each other) I said 'of course I can!' NOOOO! Ended up squatting so my belly went under them!
Agree about the crumbs, I think I've brushed them off, and they have just moved down a level (which I can't see).
Cut myself shaving my legs 3 times last night!
Trying to DIY bikini wax, and having my belly stick to my thigh! - not pretty...
Getting up from sitting in a row of seats (at the movies) and hitting a man in the head in front of me with my belly!
* 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
