To ask - Any tips for being 7 months pregnant at Xmas?

[LBirch02]

I’ll be nearly 7 months pregnant this coming Xmas - is there anything you would say to help me get through it ? Or is it just like normal. Obviously I won’t drink. I’m sure I’ll see a lot of OH ‘s family who I love - they’re a large family so think many siblings /nephews and nieces. - my hormones are making me broody atm so I’ll need to stay away from the babies in the family. But seriously, am I likely to find Xmas much more tiring, etc?

I think you’re overthinking it.

It’ll be Christmas.

You’ll be pregnant.

That’s kind of it.

Use it as an excuse not to have to travel or put yourself out.

And start setting the scene for "Of course, from now on we will spend all our Christmases at home..."

OP this is one of MANY threads on your pregnancy already.

It depends how you're feeling by then I guess. If you're tired then make an excuse to go and nap if it gets too much with all the family. But you'll probably be fine - it's just normal.

Jesus.

If pregnancy + Christmas is causing you this much anguish, you’re in for a tough few years.

Why does being hormonal and pregnant make you need to stay away from other babies

Are you going to be on your feet cooking Christmas dinner for 26 people that will be drinking from morning? If so, then you probably will be more tired than normal and have less patience for the drunks.

If you're going to be a guest at a nice family dinner where everyone is having a couple of drinks, you'll probably just join them in a nap in front of the telly during Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I’m so confused. What does being pregnant have to do with Christmas? If you usually get hammered you’ll have to give it a miss, that’s about it. And how can you be broody if you’re already pregnant? Why would you need to stay away from babies? Are you ok OP?

It's literally like any other Christmas.

You're over thinking it.

Don’t no why you’d need to avoid babies, what’s wrong with being broody when you’re about to give birth? No tips needed anyway, you’ll still be a pregnant human at Christmas, rest if you’re tired, eat if you’re hungry… just like every other Christmas, and every other day.

I'm confused. You're pregnant but broody and need to stay away from babies??

Avoid alcohol, avoid soft cheese, avoid anyone you feel like you have to see but you don’t want to and blame being pregnant!

Be careful not to over eat. Being overfull and causing an ibs flairup brought on braxton Hicks so bad I nearly called the midwife.

Incase she steals them?!!

Wow. You're just pregnant on a day.

😆😂😆😂

7 months pregnant is different to giving birth in Christmas week. Heres a hint nothing needs altering!

If you normally cater for 30 people and have them stay then say now you're not doing it this year. Other than that...enjoy Christmas?

It’ll be Christmas.

You’ll be pregnant.

That’s kind of it.

Exactly What on earth are you stressing about

Christ, get a fucking grip. If this is even a thought process going through your head you're going to struggle massively with parenthood

Maybe think about it nearer the time.
Just don't eat the same things you usually can't eat while pregnant.
Why are you avoiding other children?!

Ahhhh that was me 22 years ago. Fond memories of resting my mock tail glass on my bump.
