When your brother threatens to put a " WIDE LOAD " sign across your butt ! :redface:
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.
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 :lol:
Corelly
:pregnant: Due 31st March 09
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.)
These are great!
You know you are heavily pregnant when:
- you go for a bikini wax and only discover after you get home that your undies were on inside out and that the nice beautician was too polite to tell u!!
- you hit your tummy on the door trying to squeeze into the cubicle of a public toilet! Those things are just not big enough!
When your belly knocks over some poor man using a walker because you misjudge the space needed for your belly to move between him and the shelves in the grocery shop :redface:
OMG Inside out undies !!!!!!! :rofl:
.... you can sit closer to the desk again cos your belly has dropped :o ...
When ur sitting on the couch, and u bend down to itch ur foot and u let out a huge fart.
myson: you can bend to itch your foot ...??
LOL to inside out undies.
- You know you're heavily pregnant when DP starts commenting on state of feet and suggests buying you a ped egg - then offers to give you a pedicure! :redface:
When you seriously consider that even death itself must be more comfortable than the searing, all day heartburn you're being plagued with.
When at 31 weeks pg, your co-workers AND husband suddenly say "Wow you've popped!"
When you can hardly stand to sit in your office chair becuase of the back pain.
When pooing takes a 3-4 day digestion process then 30 minutes to do (once a week), leaning right back when sitting so there is actually some room for your intestines to work.
When you are SO tired when you get up to wee at night you either fall asleep on the loo or are so tired that you can't remember if you have weed yet or not.
OMG I am sitting at my work desk almost weeing myself laughing at some of these! Sorry I know I shouldn't laugh but the way they are said just cracks me up :lol::redface:
When the little old ladies in the mall are actually walking faster than you.
When you need the toilet every hour to half hour
When people look at you & say "I don't think you'll make it to your due date by the looks of it".
When you sit on the lounge & have everyting set up in reaching distance so you don't need to get up, unless it's for the loo.
When you worry people in the supermarket if you take a really deep breathe :lol:, i had a lady thinking i was going into labour in Woollies.
I agree with the lounge one. It is too soft and low for me to get off...I have to roll off it like a walrus.
:rofl: bwah ha ha ... speedy little grannies in the shops!!!!!! yep, they go zooming by me in a blur!!!
I had a granny tell me to get on the bus before her yesterday! I was shocked!
Granny's I dont even see, it is the snails that go speeding past.
You know you are heavily pg when DH volunteers to hang out the washing and carry the dirty washing into the laundry for you, cos if he does then you might not be too sore to do other things.
You know you are heavily pg when the garage repair guy bumps you to the top of his 3 week waiting list to fix a cheap and nasty door that the department doesnt want to upgrade so they don't have to fix it again.
you know your heavily pregnant when
- the group of girls who shoplift from my shop every week see me loitering near the front of the store, i overhear one go 'ay shes pregnant' and they leave...maybe they feel guilty for stealing from a pregnant chicks shop??
- customers ask you to get something from the front of the store and when you come out from behind the counter and they see your belly they go 'oh nah its ok ill get it' ..... (damn right you will, the other day i sent a customer up a ladder to get the last pair of pants off a mannequin, naughty me but rather her fall than me LOL)
- when the ladies at coles ask if you need someone to help you take your shopping to your car (i no longer have to ask them)
- when the guy at BP on night shift feels bad and instead of making me pay thru the night window, opens the doors so i can come in and choose an array of midnite chocolates LOL
When ur asked if your having twins!
and when u go into a clothes shop and you have trouble closing the door while in the cubicle!!
Oh my goodness the tein comment yea whatever but that was a shock with the cubicle lol! I love being pregnant and can't believe my pregnancy journey is almost over for this baby! But oh how exciting!!!!!!!
Hey Girls,
What a laugh but all so true i know im getting heavily pregnant when:
-putting on undies is a balancing act
-standing to shower is so hard to do i sit on the floor...then relaise i have to get up somehow! Really not pretty.
-now when i vomit i have to try not to wee myself too (unfortunately still a daily event)
-my mum on crutches with 6 hip replacements can out walk me.
Oh well not long now.
Love Bee
When you wake up in bed needing to go wee but have left it a bit long so bladder is really full and sore...this results in shuffling down the hall like an idiot, desperatley squeezing your thighs together.
when ur looking at a preg magazine with the week to week outline and it has a picture of at conception with heaps of sperm at the egg and you actually almost cry due to all the possible could have been children that didn't "win the race".....that is some hormonal emotions for you!!!!
ANOTHER old lady let me on the bus before her today.
When, if you have to be admitted to hospital, they put you in the maternity ward instead of the sick people ward.
you just want the god damn thing OUT
When you go to the doctor mentioned severe rib pain, which you assume is just baby pressing up against it. Turns out the bone is definatley bruised and probably cracked. No xray during pregnancy of course so cannot confirm 100% but aaarrggghhhh the pain is very hard to handle. Can't bend, stretch, breathe, cough, dress myself, sit in my office chair - just want to cry!
...absolutely nothing your husband says is the right thing.
"You bump looks lower today." Don't say that, you'll get my hopes up!
"Your bump looks higher today." Oh shut up, I don't want to hear it.
"Do you want to make love?" Oh for goodness' sake, I'm the size of a whale and I can't move without a forklift, do I *look* like I want to make love?
"I don't want to make love." But I need your prostaglandins!!!!!!!
"You look so tired." Oh gee, thanks, I already felt like crap now you're telling me I look like it too.
"You look so lovely today!" Really? Well I feel like crap, and the least you could do is acknowledge it!!
"Do you want me to sleep on the couch tonight?" Noooo, don't leave me, who will rub my back?
"Do you want me to stay here in bed with you?" Noooo, I can't stand your snoring any more!!!!!
lol TMTM that already sounds like me.
Also I did the roll of the sofa thing the other day. It was just too hard to sit up on my own and there was no-one here to help me. So I rolled off and got up from all fours instead. 5 mins later I realised what I'd just done and found myself thinking oh god, it's started. Lol.
Cant imagine what I'll be like when I'm bigger and hormonier. I'm only 25 weeks atm. rofl. I don't even have a big belly yet.
I shouldn't laugh but I am.:
I said to dh the other day I can't understand why so many people expect me to get out of their way when we're in the shops or walking down the street. Changing direction is a major logistical exercise - I might rouse myself to do it to avoid being run over by a rubbish truck, but pedestrians... forget it. I'm heavier and grumpier than you. Go around me.
LOL
I\ve been sleeping on the couch for MONTHS!
When you laugh so hard at these cause you know they are all soooo true, then all of a sudden your laugh turns into a cry and you're bawling like a baby!
You go to sit down normally on your couch one afternoon and it BREAKS.
I kid you not. It happened.
you poor thing! That really gave me a good laugh, but it doesn't sound like a very strong couch. I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
LOL no but I got a bit of a surprise.
Luckily husband isn't too worried about it. I sms'd him after I did it (when he was at work) and apparently gave the office ladies a good giggle!
i knew i was heavily pregnant when i couldnt bend down to put knickers or socks on (that was at 37 weeks and i rang my nan in tears coz i was over it and just wanted DS out!) and also in the last 3 weeks i slept on the fold out couch coz it as closer to the toilet and the bed was easier to get off than mine!! and i worked at a fish and chip shop and i realised that when working on the grill my arms werent long enough!!
When ANY form of slip on shoe looks very, very inviting.
When you can't be assed sitting down and getting comfy becuase you know it means you have to get up...and that takes 5 minutes in itself.
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.
Mon :)
Just so you know - thats how you know you're a mum, too.:
Mine right now would be, when your kids fall asleep on the sofa and you think stuff it, and leave them there.
