you know you're heavily pregnant when...

[~Kaz~]

I had the food in the bra thing just last night too!!

You know you're heavily pregnant when:
* You wake up with swollen feet/ankles
* Somebody asks you if you're still able to drive
* DP almost completely stops using your name and calls you "big belly" or some other reference to the size of your bump

[OceanPrincess]

I've got another one...

When people at work keep asking you when you start maternity leave and looking astonished when you say "end of Jan".

[Josephine]

i have another one too - a guy from church walked past me the other day and said "you must be a few days overdue by now?" and i said "no, still have a few weeks to go" and he looked shocked and said "really? you look ready to drop" i smiled sweetly and said "thanks" and walked off muttering something about 'how the heck would you know buddy!'

[Dansta]

when you lose food whilest sitting down and your DH points and tells you its "right there" and you have no idea where "there" is as you havent seen your hooharr in a few months.

wondering why people have 'low rider' cars as you wonder how you'd ever get in/out of one when you struggle with a normal car.

Ohh and when your cat goes whilest sitting next to your lap becuause a) they dont fit on your lap any more and b) they're getting stroked by something other then your hand!

[OceanPrincess]

And I got another one...

When you go to the loo, walk out of the bathroom and feel like you have to go again, straight away.

[AliBaby]

OP that happens to me all the time.

Not sure is someone has said this but yesterday i dropped a $2 coin and I just left it there! Could not be stuffed to pick it up.

Oh an another one- You get a trolley when you go to the supermarket even if you know you are getting only 4 or 5 things so you dont have to carry the basket around. (That might be just me being lazy though!)

This has been such a funny thread...love it...
Definitely taking me back.

Mine were
- when I found I then had to mop the floor (and change my top) after washing a couple of dishes
- when I had to roll out of bed and hoped for the best...to land on my feet (we have a rather high bed)
- when my boss had to point out I've got a little leftover from lunch (a big orange lasagne stain) on my white work provided maternity top (was on the under side of my belly, no way on earth I would've seen it...thank goodness for the dettol and hand dryer in the ladies bathroom)
- when I would try to squeeze between an office chair and wall - trying to suck the gut in and realising that was not going to help (even worse there was customers and staff watching me)

and I also remember carrying my mobile everywhere in case I fell over and couldn't get up (not sure who I was going to call though, everyone was at least 30mins aways)

NOTE TO ONESELF
Do not eat potato crisps when heavily pg- they end up everywhere- down your top!!!!

OMG last nite i had more chips down my top than i put in my gob!!!

[2CheekyMonkeys]

when you go to the bathroom and close the door, the door brushes up against your bump.

[~Kaz~]

When you involuntarily grunt while trying to 'gracefully' get yourself up and off the obstetricians exam table thingy without slipping off the plastic stuff, missing the tiny footstool and landing straight onto the floor on your butt!!
(I didn't actually fall but it was a stressful and embarrassing situation that I hope is a one off!).

[Josephine]

when you cant peel the veges at the kitchen bench anymore cos you cant reach it as your bump is too big and pushes you too far out, killing your back - i just had to peel my veges sitting at the kitchen table cos of this.

[storm]

These are great!!

When you shave your legs & bikini line with your eyes closed, it makes no difference if they are open anyway!!

[Meegs]

I just bought the hottest pair of sandals in the sales.. and I can only wear them when DH is around 'cause I cant do the bloody things up!!!

[bubbadubba]

i have to agree with everything said

i keep under estimating my size, and both my belly & butt end up knocking into door frames, other cars in the car park, people on the bus.......etc.........

another thing iv found is my dog can no longer sit on my lap, because there is no lap left for him to have!

[sydney moose]

This tread has been a good laugh...I am definately the crumbs lady in/on my shirt and every where else. LOL nice to see everyone is going through the same thing!

You know you are heavily pregnant when
-You need a 5 minute break from getting INTO the car and then another 5 minutes breather once Dh has adjusted the seat so I can drive.

- You really wish you could use and try to use Jedi mind force to bring stuff to you hoping it will actually happen

-When you groan every time you move off something ( a chair, couch, bed)

- You need to wait for Dh to get home from work so he can get the wok from the top shelf as you can't reach it and you certainly can't climb onto the counter to get it either!

- when it becomes harder to fold clothes as you can't use your belly the same way you used to use your laps and bending down to do so on the counter or bed just takes forever and you actually give up on folding bed sheets by yourself altogether..they look nice in rolled up in a ball in the linen cupboard!

-when your DH comments EVERYDAY to everyone on how huge you are in the nicest way possible! LOL

-When you dress yourself in a nice frock and a pair of walking velcro sandals to go out on NYE as they are the ONLY pair of shoes that
A) fits
B) doesn't make your cankles grow the size of pumpkin
C)do I REALLY care, they're comfy?

Keep em' coming ladies!

this is soo funny,

you know your heavily pregnant when:

- you are thankful you have power steering as my belly rests on the bottom of the steering wheel .

- you have to use both hands to hold your belly just to roll over in bed.

- bringing everything you need to the coffee table so you dont have to get up from the couch anytime soon. And then finally getting comfy and having to pee grrr.

- thankful to have a 7yr help look after the 2yr cos you are just too tired to move.

-not being able to wash up without getting the belly wet.

-almost passing out when you have to bend over only slightly.

- having the belly so heavy and low that on occassion when you get up from the toilet the seat and have to lean forward it will come up a little bit.

- its easier to put the skirt on via the head instead of stepping into it.

- you feel like a penguin when walking at the shops i have a very good waddle going on.

- you have man legs (hairy) but not caring as its too hard to shave.

- belly is so big that there is no way of sitting down very lady like - legs wide apart and belly on the chair.

-when lying on the couch instead of trying to sit up you just roll off it and use the coffee table to get upright all awhile grunting with effort.

...bringing everything you need to the coffee table so you dont have to get up from the couch anytime soon. And then finally getting comfy and having to pee grrr.

That happened to me last night!

The only other one I have to add is when you sneeze and it hurts so much you clutch you belly and say "OW" and your DH/DP/coworker looks alarmed and says "Was that a contraction????"

[misty]

when you have to use the disabled toilet, because you cann't go in a normal public toilet AND shut the door.

hmmm, I'm begining to remember all the fabulous things I have to look forward to.
