Re: Things People Never Told You ABout being Pregnant...

there are so many things, and most were covered. Lately though,

I find it hard to do dishes at the sink because my huge belly is in the way.

Thankfully we have a front loading washer, because I wouldn't be able to stand over a top loading one!

Shaving "down there" is a feel and go procedure Chat Icon

I feel like I pushed a bowling ball out from between my legs because I am so sore there!

Most of the things I have gone through or felt have been mentioned already but one of the other things is flipping from one side to the other while in bed has almost become impossible at 37 wks. I have to use my headboard to kinda pull myself to switch from side to side.Chat Icon

This may be TMI- but when you squat down at a toilet, your aim is not as it was before you got pregnant.

1 - That my ankles would swell to become Cankles
2 - I would have to pee 100 times a day and that I would have to pee a bunch of times in the middle of the night.
3 - That getting out of bed to pee should be considered and Olympic event.
4- That I would be told to drink more water to get rid of the cankles and thus have to pee more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
5 - That in the beginning I would feel like I ran a marathon every single day.
6- That DH would be very sweet to me. Chat Icon

That getting PG would instantly get my DH to do anything....he does the laundry, goes grocery shopping with me so I don't have to pack the bags and put them in the car. He makes dinner and cleans up afterwards...he tells me to go and relax.

Although...I know this all will end one day Chat Icon



Can your DH give mine some lessons????
