you know you're heavily pregnant when...

[angelaartsstudent]

I don't think I register as "heavily" pregnant yet but here goes:

- When a man sitting next to you on the bus moves his knees an inch for you to get out and it is obviously not enough room, you want to thrash him. I'm pregnant, not just fat, damn you! The belly is solid, it's not going to fit through that gap! And it hurts when I squeeze it through!

- You get up 5 times a night to wee and must remind yourself to wake up FULLY to go, otherwise you will wet yourself.

- You throw a massive tantrum at the portracot becuase you don't understand the instructions on how to fold it out.

- There is no extra pillow/leg pillow/belly pillow on this earth that can make you comfortable in bed

I can relate to so many of these !

My most embarassing "huge" moment was when i decided that i would like to go swimming so i went with 2 friends (luckily).
I got into the lap pool with my kickboard and off i went. When i had decided that i'd had enough i made my way over to the ladder to get out and i couldnt !
I was so heavy that i physically couldnt pull my own weight up out of the water - not for lack of trying !
I was so embarassed - i had to call my friends over and 1 pulled from out of the water and the other pushed my bum from in the water and with a great deal of effort i made it out of the pool ! My beached whale experience !
Needless to say - i didnt go swimming again.
I did enjoy it at the time though - floating around was lovely !

... you consider taking a nap in the pool ... cos at least you have the comfortable weightless feeling AND your not feeling the heat.

When you don't have a bath at home and would sell your soul for a nice, long soak.

[Laiceysmummy]

When your DF gets nervous about going to work everynight and then gets home everymorning and asks if theres a baby yet.

When you spend hours on pregnancy forums to see if anyone else is as uncomfortable as you are.

[MummyNaomi]

Far out, I am relating to a quite a few of these

*when putting your knickers on is a struggle
*when doing your shoes up becomes a victory
*when painting your toe nails takes 1 hour - LOL going for pedicure next time!!
*when you raise your work desk so it sits between your boobs and belly so you can get close enough to use your computer - LMAO, my work mates think this is hilarious!!

[mustangsachy]

hahaha lots of funnies (because i can relate)

- when you make lasagna and *forget* to put the lasagna sheets in the darn thing. Thus creating meat and cheese pie..... i bawled for hours over this.

- when you touch your stomach at work cos bubs is moving around and workmates say 'you're not going into labour are you' with a scared look on their face

- when even applying mascara makes you out of breath!

- you wear the same 2 outfits day in day out - trying hard to mix and match but they're the only things that actually fit you and you can't be arsed going shopping for other clothes.

- when you have to ask DP to shave you cos you haven't seen that area for months!

When rolling over in bed is absolute torture in your pelvis and hips, takes a full 3 mins to achieve, involves lots of sound effects such as grunting and leaves you puffing for breath and your partner making wise cracks about needing to hire a crane

[cocobambino]

My DH is a truckie, and everytime without fail after a trip away the first thing i get is "holy crap babe did u get bigger"

when DH has to lean over to kiss you.

ok so i made DH "cough" shave me "cough"

when the kids laugh at you coz u cant bend down to kiss them goodnight.

when u go to get ur child from school and u hear "not long now hey" from everysingle passer by, and all the school kids are whispering.

[Winter]

- When nosy ladies in shops ask you "how long to go now dear?" and upon hearing "2 more weeks" look slightly shocked and say "I dont think you're going to make it!"

- When your Obs tells you that he has theatre tickets for Sunday so would prefer if you didn't go into labour then!

- When you have a whole weekend to do anything you want to do, might be your last weekend baby free but the idea of getting out of comfy pjs and finding something to wear is too daunting to contemplate!

- Your husband / partner checks in from work morning, noon and night to make sure baby isn't making a grand entrance without him!

- When a grape that you have dropped rolls under the couch, you think, I'll get that next time...

-When you wake up starving at 5am and must, must, must have breakfast immediately otherwise you will waste away..then you eat 2 bowls of cereal and wander back to bed for another hour or 2 sleep

If only that was only when Heavily pg

When no one complains that your house is a mess, and tells you off if you start to tidy when they are there!!

[~ Mylitta ~]

When your boss mentions the need to cut an arch out of the desk so that I can move closer to the computer!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

When your brother threatens to put a " WIDE LOAD " sign across your butt !

ROFL to grape ... hahahaahaha

also guilty of waking up at 5am for b'fast. however as i also had a bowl of b'fast at 11.30pm in bed seems a bit overkill. If only i could go back to sleep also -

When you leave the house with 2 different shoes on because you can't see your feet.

[Miss.September]

Am loving this thread girls - needed this pick-me-up

Okay...

You know you're heavily pregnant when you are the one attracting the stares in the Ob's waiting room

When people at the shopping centre stare at you like you shouldn't be allowed out

When you go home and bawl for hours because your ob refused to induce you

When every Tom, **** or Harriet give you suggestions on how to bring on labour pronto

Chins up everyone! Keep laughing

I did this two weeks ago!!!

I have had SO many people telling me my bump is tiny for 30 weeks but I still can't see my feet, obviously.

(Edit: Just looked at my ticker. Hmm...no breast leak or BH for me...just a foot in my ribs for 2 weeks straight.)
