you know you're heavily pregnant when...

[Shanti]

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!!!!

Just what i needed today such a great thread:
Mine is definately getting a wet tummy and t shirt every time i do the dishes
and cursing everyone in the car park for parking to damn close to me DONT THEY KNOW IM PREGNANT!!!!!! espicially when i try and get DS in his booster seat as well

[~Kim~]

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

[Cassius2]

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.

[Dansta]

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

[Visitor3]

These are so funny ! Something to look forward to !

[JennaJayen]

Here's another one:

When you waddle into a hospital for any reason everyone either suddenly makes room for you, offer you a wheel chair, or open the doors for you so that you don't tire yourself out. And they all make the same comment: "Looks like your in labour, you poor thing."

Had that happen last night lol, and I was there because of a nasty flu virus thats going around lol

[puppies]

You want to go out and realise your toes need some attention so your DH has to clip them and paint them for you which is so funny.

[Meegs]

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

[Josephine]

oooh meegs! sounds painful!

[Heaven]

Ouch Meegs!!

[OceanPrincess]

When you're in a cafe and while the waitress is taking orders bubs decides to shove her head up into your ribs so you rub said part of belly, with an "ouch" expression on your face, and the waitress says "You're not going into labour, are you?!" while looking distinctly panicked...

[Danni]

omg, im sure this has been said before. But yesterday I shut the door and it collected my belly on the way. I guess I have popped more than i thought!

[Josephine]

Ocean Princess - i get that too, or if i have to sit down in a shopping centre cos im tired and sore and rub my belly people look at me funny as they walk past like they are scared my water is going to break right there in the mall!!

I had that happen to me the other night while we were at an Italian restaurant the waitress said to me that I should be at home incase i go into labour!!! hahahaha.

You know when your pregnant when you own a big 4x4 and struggle to get in and out of it! ( I own a Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series that are massive and I am struggling to get in and out of it! )
You have to get DH to shave your bikini line and anything else while he is at it!

You cant lean forward to reach a cup or anything in front of you with out having to use one hand to push yourself forward and hold you there.

You are now second best to your mum as the belly comes first now!!

Yeah the handbags and the benches I can relate to lol

I love the thread. what a good idea, its really cheered me up
