If you could tell your pre-child self not to take something for granted, what would it be?

[Waysofseeing]

I have been struggling to conceive for three years with an ovary removed and two miscarriages along the way. As my period has arrived yet again, I need something to help me stay positive. Last night my husband and I said let's plan something indulgent (or just nice!) we won't be able to do as easily when children hopefully do come along, and not waste this time away each month waiting for period not to show.

So - those of you with children, give me your best advice on what you would plan if you had time without kids which you can't now do with kids!

I read this as telling yourself as a baby not to take something for granted. Food on demand, the mindless joy of repetitively hitting objects.

Lie in. Lie in every Saturday and Sunday until it happens for you. Lie in late. Have uninterrupted sex. Cook a leisurely brunch. Because one day, the first thing you'll say to your husband on a Saturday morning is

"6.40am. Not bad."

As the wake-up shouts, float through to your room...

Also really enjoy taking your time on the loo in the peace and quiet.

@cheeseplantistakingover haha that made me laugh. Mine would be falling asleep in the car and someone carrying me to bed
