Worst preggo thing you've done so far?

So last night I hit a new low. Am 37 weeks, and went for a nice relaxing (read: slow and for a maximum of 20 minutes) swim last night. Well done me, health health health! Got out and showered, then found in my bag a doughnut (a doughnut!) I'd bought earlier and not eaten - so I scoffed the lot, still in my towel, in the swimming pool changing rooms. Oh the shame.

Please tell me someone else has done something similarly stereotypical?

What's wrong with that? Bonus junk food that you forgot you had! Excellent. I'd do that and am not even pregnant.

It just felt so wrong... the gym is a place for fitness, not public cake consumption!

I cried because I burnt dinner because it meant I was going to be a bad mother who couldn't provide for her family!

Haha!
Love it. I ate a yum yum followed by a chocolate filled donut Thursday for no good reason if that helps?

Pochemuchka · 08/09/2012 10:21

Ha ha If we're talking gluttony here I took some snacks to work the other day (crisps, chocolate fruit) arrived at work at 9am, made myself some tea and then sat down and munched the whole day's snacks!

Cooked meal followed at 12 o clock.

Can only assume bump was going through a growth spurt!

I ranted at my DH yesterday for hiding the present I've bought my mum (shes been a star throughout pregnancy) and told him he wasn't to come to bed till he found it. I kept telling me that I'd put it somewhere, he wasn't sure where but he swore I'd said to him that I'd hide it somewhere mum wouldn't find (shes been helping with my cleaning). After half an hour of him looking he found it in the bottom of my wardrobe and recounted the exact conversation we'd had about it. I still can't properly remember. Poor guy. Luckily he thought it was funny rather than getting annoyed at my ranting :S

If we're talking hormones, there's a cartoon on Show me, show me with a little cat driving a train. For this pregnancy and the last the music has made me blub uncontrollably!

Clarella · 08/09/2012 17:31

Ahhhh you've just reminded me of jam donuts! Guilt free! How can I have gone 7 months without one??!

I would have done the same. You're supposed to eat carbs after exercise... Hmm

Puked in a towel because the bathroom was being used...Blush

I was in town about to go to the bank, was only about 16 weeks and I ended up being sick right outside :/. First bit of morning sickness I had and too top it off it was bright yellow!

I've also put the milk in the cupboard and teabags in the fridge and ledt them there for my boyfriend to find. It's so strange how you do things and not notice your doing it!

blackteaplease · 08/09/2012 17:49

I walked to tesco for milk last weekend and came home with a dvd and chocolate! Dh was away with the car so i had to walk all the way back again. Bloody hormones.

Clarella · 08/09/2012 18:58

I love these threads.

Had a few false starts to yoga (been going to same place for over a year) first attempt I was an hour early, second attempt I ended up at completely opposite end of the city. Third time lucky.

katolla · 09/09/2012 18:38

Puked on Oxford St on a busy Saturday morning. I had about 10 seconds' notice so no chance to get to a toilet. Didn't get it on anyone thankfully!

FranTan · 09/09/2012 19:20

Last week I was at the self-service checkout at Tesco and decided that 1 pizza was not enough, I needed 2. I had no intention of getting it myself so asked the 16 year old checkout assistant to "please get me another one of these". He took the pizza and about 10 minutes later returned with 1 identical pizza. I asked him why he had returned with 1 when I clearly asked for "another 1". The poor boy thought I just wanted a replacement. I yanked it from his hands, told him I'd "get it myself" and waddled off to the pizza aisle. Poor boy and all I succeeded in doing was confirming the stereotypical pregnant-head.

Fell asleep during a meeting at work.

Cried because DH was watching TV.

Drove for nearly an hour to make the toddler sleep so I could have a nap.

blackteaplease · 11/09/2012 21:08

Set fire to my dressing gown whilst making pancakes at the weekend. At 39 weeks my bump is massive and i'd forgotten how big i was

mameulah · 11/09/2012 21:16

I painted the cooking splodges on the kitchen wallpaper. I was delighted that the paint I had stumbled across in the garage matched so perfectly. When I later went back to the kitchen I couldn't believe how AWFUL it looked. Thankfully I managed to wash it off before my dh came home. Phew!

PrunellaDeVille · 12/09/2012 13:03

Refilling the toilet roll this morning - took the new roll out of the pack - put the whole roll straight into the toilet bowl Blush big wet mess.

sammyleh · 12/09/2012 13:31

These are fantastic! My latest:

DP saved a couple of wraps to make a snack before he went on a long bike ride, I nicked one after he made it. He took one shocked (and innocent) look at me and I burst into tears saying I was a fat pig that didn't deserve anything to eat. He didn't go on a bike ride, he stayed at home, scoffed toffee popcorn with me and watched rubbish girly films while I cried all night.

Taking food from a buffet with my fingers as it looked so good Blush

ShushBaby · 12/09/2012 13:50

I bought a stick of butter on Monday. Definitely took it out of the bag when I got home. Lord only knows where I put it. Will probably find it months from now in some insane location....

I've just eaten FOUR Creme caramels in a row

ladydawnie · 12/09/2012 14:20

I rewarded my daughter with a bowl of sweets this morning (bit shameful as we are off to the dentist later) only reason she got sweets was cos I wanted to sit on the sofa with an even bigger bowl of sweets and scoff the lot. She did make me feel bad by pointing out my bowl was a lot bigger than her bowl.

ladydawnie · 12/09/2012 14:28

Is this one bad? Several times I've really needed an afternoon snooze so I've plonked my 3.5 yo DD in front of the tele, left out snacks, drinks and toys and had a sneaky sleep on the sofa. There's been a couple of times it's not worked and I can't nap for newspaper headlines flashing through my head 'mum naps while toddler chokes on cheerios' so I've stopped it now.

Also, my wonderful hubby often gives me money for taxis as I keep moaning I can't cope with getting on the bus with a toddler (I don't drive). But he doesnt realise that sometimes I get the bus or walk and spend the money on me and my daughter instead without telling him.
