This thread is too funny and has helped lift my spirits somewhat as am totally struggling at the mo esp with 2 bubs on board. My heavily pg ailments:
- needing help putting undies / pants on.
- fluid retention galore, not just feet, but ankles calves and upper thighs / inner thighs. Even worse inner thighs feel like have tennis balls lodged there and cant close legs and waddle like a duck.
- After a foot massage swelling returns quite rapidly, esp if am on feet or sitting on chair.
- Belly rests on lap and have to sit with legs open cause feel like legs will fall off due to belly cutting off circulation
- No longer being able to lie down when sleeping and having to sleep in sitting up position with pillows propping me up.
- dreading night time, because you know that there will be a 2 hour period between 3 and 5 that you just cant get comfortable to sleep. therefore lots of night time reading or watching TV.
- Outings being kept to a mimimum because thought of walking up a/ down flights of stairs in apt block is too much to bear.
- kissing goodbye the dream of bliss period before babies being born as a time to go shopping, lunching and going to the movies.
- the remote control, telephone and laptop are your new best friends.
- pining longingly at your diamond rings which now dont even fit on your pinkie let alone all those nice shoes you own in your wardrobe.
- It takes ages to do the most basic of things like getting up out of bed or the lounge or getting dressed / showered etc.
- the littlest things make you cry.
- its becoming harder to remember life pre being heavilly pg.
