After pregnancy, apart from your baby, what are you most looking forward to?

Mine are:
Putting my own socks on
Getting myself off the sofa/bed without struggling
More choice of clothes
Un-swollen feet
Not worrying over foods
Not having my stomach touched by other people

Not vomiting or being afraid of food or drink. I'll eat vegetables like there's no tomorrow!

All of yours (apart from the stomach touching-it doesn't bother me which is strange because I'm big on personal space and I thought it would!)

Fitting in the bath and having the water cover all of me Grin
Sleeping on my front
Not being constantly asked "how long have you got left?"
Not having constant indigestion
Having comfortable sex with my husband again (though I know that may be a while away!)

Lying on my front to go to sleep.

Hopefully the vile taste I've had in my mouth for the last 9 months will also go!

Not having to wee constantly.

Have my DS be able to sit on my lap without a mahoosive bump being in the way.

I'm going to add eating without dropping food on my bump (I can't seem to feed myself properly)

The bath thing also for me Grin

Not thinking that someone keeps sneaking extra steps into various staircases.

Not feeling like a beached whale in bed and being able to turn over easily.

I'm also hoping that my feet will shrink again. Getting size 10.5-11 shoes is almost impossible without spending stupid amounts of money.

I'm looking forward to seeing what DD (will be 20-21 months) thinks of having a little sister :)

Also being able to turn over in bed comfortably.

Having a nice cup of tea! (Haven't been able to stomach tea for 9 months)!
Eating dinner later than 5pm in fear of heartburn!
Lying on my front in bed....
Going out without obsessing over where the nearest toilet is!

Turning over in bed without feeling like my pelvis is going to crack in half.

Lying on my back

Sitting on floor to play with DS, age 2

DS being able to sit on my lap without constantly falling off as bump is in the way

DS to stop copying my moan and groans every time I move.

No more tums. So fed up of heartburn.

I'm delivering next week so I'm becoming really impatient now I know I'm so close to the finish line.
