Things not to do when pregnant.

Firstly, I would advise against falling out of your own back door when you already have SPD.

Not hurt much other than grazed knees and a very sore back.

I think.... I forgot to move my feet?!?!?!

Anyone else done anything stupid and is blaming baby brain?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

awww.. im sorry was it rude to snigger? :-D ive done nothing yet except lose the car.... but not to worry ive got plenty time to catch up!

Wear really high heels on your last day at work, in a tragic attempt to look remotely less blob like.

Fall flat on your face in Marks and Spencer as a result, squashing all of the cream cakes you had just bought for your colleagues.

Fell in the car! Trying to get in my foot hot stuck and jus kinda went flop :/ then some idiot parked next to me an left like an inch for me to get in ! I squashed my bump then spent all day imagining she was all squished and mishappen ??

I tried to tidy the Hoover away and opened the fridge door to put it in there
It normally kept in a cupboard under the stairs.

I've dressed my ds1 for school though it was Sunday

I've poured apple juice on my cereal instead if milk.

I'll keep thinking ..........

I donated my house keys to a charity who were collecting some stuff from our house. I must have had the keys to let the man in. I assume they got dropped in one of the boxes but then I couldn't leave the house for the rest of the day as was not able to lock the door!

TheQueenOfSheba · 22/05/2012 10:59

I turned left from the far right lane on a red light, straight into oncoming traffic. I nearly killed us all. Am desperately trying to blame my pregnancy rather than my driving...

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 22/05/2012 11:14

walk out your house without the keys, lots of well meaning people will help though :)

I would advise against playing the game 'skinning the snake' at church camp with 7-year olds. Was halfway through trying to crawl under their legs when I figured it wasn't such a good idea (spent the rest of the afternoon lying down and apologisng the little one and promising never to do that again!).

july2012mummy · 22/05/2012 12:18

Forgot how roundabouts work. Shouted at a car for waiting for me before gently being told by husband that it was my right of way.....

Bellared · 22/05/2012 13:28

I keep losing my keys (in the house) and having to take deliveries through the window. DH sometimes has to tell me things 5 times as I can't understand him. There's loads but I can't think. Oh, and read stories on the DM website about baby related things and crying at them.

Gutted about your cream cakes Porky!

Kveta · 22/05/2012 13:31

Inflate a paddling pool for your toddler, then fill it by repeatedly filling a saucepan at the tap due to they hpsepipe ban. I am feeling a bit sore after this much activity at 38 weeks!

mrfreeze · 22/05/2012 13:56

Do not under any circumstances go to post a letter, leave the letter in your car and instead post your car keys, had to wait 2 hours for the posty to come so i could get them back

Or with 4 weeks left to go and having a good day off from spd decide to leave the car at home and walk to the nearest asda, really dont know how many cars stopped to see if i was having some kind of attack, im 14 stone, look like a blimp and can barely walk, why i thought it was a good idea i just dont know!

HaggisNeepsTatties · 22/05/2012 17:14

Forget that you can squeeze out of small gaps between cars anymore and get wedged between two cars!

sammyleh · 22/05/2012 17:16

Weed a veggie patch and fall face-first into the mud... not my finest moment!

Frontpaw · 22/05/2012 17:18

Bunjee jump. That's what my optician told me at 8 months. Hmmm, not very likely.

swiftybaby · 22/05/2012 17:57

Am currently packing up a house as moving on Saturday and would advise getting Removal Men in to do it asi feel like I've been beaten up

Actually would advise against moving In pregnancy too!!!!

applecrumple · 22/05/2012 21:14

I've just been nearly pissing myself reading all of this!

MoonHare · 22/05/2012 21:23

I have laughed out loud especially at the key related ones!

Mostly with relief I think as last pregnancy I locked myself out of the house 3 times and a further two times with DC1. So far this pregnancy I have locked myself and DC2 out once......but there are still about 22 weeks to go! Thankfully my lovely neighbour now has a set of keys for my house.

So very glad I am not alone in the 'rubbish with keys when pregnant' dept.

Susieloo · 22/05/2012 21:28

Left car keys at a farmers market stall and was blocking at least three of my colleagues in at work so they couldn't go home until I had been to every shop and stall I had been to that day and finally retrieved keys from the police station...

Walked away from the cashpoint leaving on one occasion my card and today the money still there...

Posted my cash card in the same envelope as a cheque I was depositing...

Been driving fifteen years with no issues and since being pregnant gone into the back of someone just outside my house, taken the wing mirror off going through a tunnel and my favourite - offering to get a colleagues car out of a tight space at work i managed to take out the car next doors wheel arch so used a car that wasnt mine to hit another car!! I caused 180 quids worth of damage

I now have a checklist by the door before I leave the house to check taps, oven, straighteners and keys

Loislane78 · 22/05/2012 21:34

With you haggis I have no concept of my increased width and will subconsciously look at a space and think, yep, I'll get through that. Turns out not so much these days. Twice now I've wedged myself in between the wing mirrors of parked cars at work. The last couple of days I've learned to get closer and back out if i cant fit. If anyone was watching they'd think I was a complete nutter (just to say the footpath is a most indirect route!).

Bellared · 23/05/2012 08:09

Swifty - I know how you feel. I had to move last year when pg with DS2 due to house fire and back into the house again 1 month before he was born and mostly on my own as DH had just had most his bowel removed and we've just done it again in March! Why do we think we can do these things?!

Glad I'm not the only one . Yesterday I left my mobile in the office so had to go back for it. Retrieved it drove home and realised I didn't have my work mobile I had put it down to pick my own phone up and left it on my desk so had to go back again!!!! This is my first pregnancy and I'm normally pretty quick and with it it's driving me mad!!

iv just posted another key story on 'knicker-checking....due in September' if anyone wants a read since then (8.35) I also parked really nicely next to a police car then bumped a car very gently no damage but I was so scared I drove off!

whitby80 · 24/05/2012 14:33

I locked myself out of the house with my 14 month year old inside the house. Also forgot I took the car on a school run.

ithastobeNAICEham · 24/05/2012 14:40

So far I've put the kettle in the fridge, the milk in the cupboard and make my other half a coffee with no coffee in it (could not work out for the life in me why it was so milky!)

I've lost so many things its unreal! Keys, purse, money, all sorts!

This is my 2nd pg and I have no brain left!!
