Reply With Quotewhen you get weird sunburn on your thighs from sitting in the water at the beach. You spend hours wondering why you only rubbed in the suncreen THERE, then realise when you get home it is the shape of your belly and it's the HUGE shadow it cast.

How about when your darling sister has to pick you up off the floor in IGA coz you were silly enough to get down there to look at shampoo!!

when you realise you have to admit that you can't squeeze through that gap no matter how hard you suck your stomach in. (this is after you have sent a colleague flying on their chair, coz you were so sure you'd make it this time!)

heh, thease are making me laugh!
my lastest ones
-When you get a drink (well...for me a slurpee) and try to rest it between your knees to drive...and find that it will not fit, at all...even when you try to compress the sides!
-when sitting at the computer desk strait on isnt an option, at all.
- when cooking tea you have to check that your apron isnt getting too hot and making sure all pot handles arent pointing outwards..
-When the idea of sitting on the floor to play with your cats makes you tired.

Our IVF Blessing Has Arrived after 6 Cycles

this is great!
- when your cat attempts to get on your lap, sneers at the last 2 cm available & storms off in disgust
- when your MIL says you look like you're about to deliver (at 34 weeks!!!)
- when you keep forgetting that turning sideways to walk through small gaps SO doesn't work
- after dropping anything, you stand there looking around hopefully and say "oops" loudly - it worked every time!
- when Rennies are THE most important thing on the shopping list
- having your 6 year old nephew ask (three months AFTER giving birth) why I tie my sneaker laces on the very very inside of the shoe! After I stopped laughing, I explained that I'd gotten in the habit when I was PG cos it was the only way I could get them done up! Clearly I've forgotten what it is to be normal!
- still having a pillow fortress even though I'm not PG anymore, cos it's just so darn comfy!

Great thread ladies, givin me a good laugh. I can relate to so many.
~ When you have to stand side on to the registerdrawer when open at work cause there's not enough room to stand normally.
~When you realise you can no longer cross your legs comfortably without hitting the belly.
~ When you wear basically every meal.
~When your bellybutton has almost dissapeared cause it's soooo stretched.
~ When you can use the top of your tummy as a stabletable.
~ When you catch your image in a shop window & freak out cause you look so darn huge.

...when it takes 10 minutes of grunting, huffing and wriggling to settle yourself in bed only to realize that you need to pee again...

-when you have a bump pillow and NO other pillow can support the bump they way it does! (its a normal old lumpy pillow...)
-when your lovely DH tells you "you can fit though that gap" and you end up with what looks like a tyre print accross your belly.

When you need to sit on the bed, toilet etc just to put your underwear/pants/shorts on!!!!

Oooh Brianna, I started doing that just the other day!!
When you turn up for work and in the space of less than 10 minutes, at least 5 people that you come across on your way to your office ask "when are you due?"
When none of your maternity clothes fit anymore, even thought they used to be HUGE!!!
When your feet, ankles and calves manage to double in size by 3pm.

When your brain is so fried that you do a shopping trip at coles and then get the checkout and realise you forgot your wallet!
