to do a little dance of joy

[BunnyLebowski]

to celebrate NOT being pregnant this Summer??

DS was finally born (2 weeks overdue) last August. I spent the entire Summer a cranky, sweaty, hormonal behemoth.

I waddled everywhere. My gargantuan cankles made all my nice shoes unwearable. My back constantly ached. DP had to knuckle my back every night as I muttered and harumphed myself to sleep. I had to wear huge cotton muumuu style maternity dresses to try and keep cool. Even then I got chub rub . I looked like Oswald Cobblepot (the Danny DeVito version) in drag. I couldn't sit in the garden and have a GnT or seven.

DC2 is now 8 months old and I am never going to be pregnant again. I've lost my baby weight + 1 stone (Hurrah!). I can wear nice clothes and shoes again!

I can go for big walks with the dog and run for a bus! I can sleep on my front! I can sleep all night without needing to get up for seventy five pees! I can eat pâté on toast for every meal if I like!

everyone (and apologies to anyone due this summer )

Well done and enjoy the g&t!
Chub rub.... Yeah, I had that with ds2.

I'm due this summer you smug cow . I'm 25 weeks and fed up especially as i'm constantly reminded that my bump will grow much bigger because it's twins. Not long now.... Please have a wine for me!

Glitz But twins! Awww! Double the snuggles. Congratulations .

I had two beached-whale summers with my autumn-borns. If there's one thing I'm thankful for about not having any more babies, it's not having to get through high summer in that state again.

Enjoyyyyyyy

Yup and double the kicks, double backache, double heartburn. No it's not really that bad I'm very lucky

I remember looking in a shop mirror two days before ds1 was born and bursting into tears because I was so fat. Ds was 9lbs 6 though so I was fat with good reason.

Glitz you are having twins, surely summer should be spent sitting in the shade while people fetch you things?

What the hell is pâté on toast, and where can I buy some?

Worra that'll teach me trying to be all continental and include the accents . Pate innit. Chicken liver pate.

Haha! Pronouncing the 't' in pate is about as continental as I get

Coffee once I start mat leave hopefully that'll be the case. I can't wait to get off work! They're actually measuring a bit big too so that explains my 2 stone weight gain

Im hoping I'll be pregnant this summer as AF is overdue

OMG - Glitz - Twins here too but only 12 weeks... AIBU to HATE you bunny!?!?!

Okay I know I am - still in the lovely beginning bit but by August I WILL!

siblings close together are fun, enjoy this summer as you might not enjoy next!

I'm due in August this year - very excited about DS1, less so about chub rub ! Please also have a glass of wine for me. And three rounds of pate on toast!

Same here last summer felt at least 20 degrees hotter due to my mahoosive bump with DC2 I looked and felt awful, so pleased I'm done! G&T for you to celebrate

DC3 due in July, chub rub on the horizon, and on the one warm day last week I ended up in hospital with high BP and swollen ankles.

YANBU (and I am jealous)

I don't mind being pregnant, but hate being miserable in the heat!

Oh, YAsoNBU!

I had my first in September and spent a long, miserable summer in NYC just sitting in front of our feeble window AC unit. It was just miserable.

This is going to be me this time next year, so I'm anticipating the smugness! I've got pregnant quickly both times which is great but means no break between babies (I'm due in 2 weeks) and I've been virtually dry (EBF) for nearly 3 years. Just watch international champagne stocks drain dry in a year's time!
