You know you are pregnant when..... (finish the sentence!)

[Hubbythecatandme]

You know you are pregnant when..... your husband catching you eating two tins of sardines from a bowl and drinking orange juice with it.... It was absolutely delicious if you ask me!

you have the head of your bed propped up on piles of Cosmo magazines.
Heart burn for 9 months sucks.

You fall asleep on the toilet at work

You have to shout for help cos you're stuck in the bath at 41+5 and have to be hauled out by your DH who nearly puts his back out in the process ...after getting him to shave you...Oh the indignity!

you are busting for a wee 5 mins after having the last one - like really busting - tears in your eyes - then you get to the loo and a tiny dribble comes out - your bladder still aches from wanting a a massive waterfall style wee. i remember being so relieved after DS was born as i had a proper satisfying wee. Its all about the wee.

Getting the rage with DH if he calls you upstairs for something innocuous - does he not KNOW that it takes the effort of a mountain climber to get up those stairs..

if you put odd shoes on or shoes on the wrong feet or even forget to zip up your boots you cant be arsed to actually rectify the situation

you balance your feet on a gym ball at 39 weeks because you are determined you will be able to paint your own toenails

your toes then look like you have ripped off your toenails in a zombie like fashion

all to prove a point

You cry because you drop something and it's so far to bend down.

Hahaha gomartha lol I am going to be annoyed about not being able to paint toe-nails! Will ask hubby but very likely he is going to be rubbish at it!

I am only 8 weeks and I got up 5 times to have a wee last night.... towards the end I was just on auto pilot, half asleep, sleep walking it to the loo. This pee thing is already doing my head-in. can't imagine what trimester 3 must be like :s

teaandfag hihiihih this is so wrong!!!!
piggytastic love it!!!
starball I so hope I don't get heartburns :s
anniepannie coffee tastes rotten here, and being French that is a massive mick taking! I am drinking assam with slices of lemon in it.... hadn't had tea for literally years :s
gingerscouse I went through a phase of feeling hungover, I only get the funny taste in your mouth now but the dizziness and feeling sick is NOT nice :S
christinegold oh yeeah orange juice any time of day and night! Even better if it's blood orange! I crunch into lemons too, never used to do that...
kirinm that is rubbish :( You deserved to enjoy your takeaway!!!!
I cried hysterically because "I know the cat loves you more than meeee!" () but haven't done that for a few weeks now. Good job hubby didn't laugh, I would have bit his head off...

blindkitty soo lucky!!! Can't watch stuff like that though, first pregnancy here, nothing too visual please :s

bopoityboo3 I would be worried about 6th formers handout their homework, especially some of the "lazy" boys :s Bet that gave you a shock....

Hubby buy a bucket to pee in!

Saggy We have a tiny sink in the corner of our bedroom (normally to wash teeth) and when hubby can't see me I do use it to empty my pee jar lol! I know it's disgusting but I am peeing all the time and can't be bothered with going up the stairs all the time! I use bleach to clean said sink regularly, sorry, too much information but yup I welcome this being there!

Need to find a solution for night time though.... or maybe convince hubby peeing in a jar is classy, ladylike and not smelly :s

Hubby the peeing gets better for a while! At the moment it's hormones and later it will be pressure on your bladder.

but back to the point:

... when the smell of toast makes you heave!

... when you walk into a room and suddenly notice the strong pine smell coming from the furniture - the pine wardrobes were 10+ years old at that point!

Being able to grin sheepishly, shrug and say "sorry, pregnant" and fart away to my delight oh, I enjoyed that aspect! Blazing Saddles had nothing on me!

DS used to bounce his head on my pelvic floor EVERY step I took throughout the last trimester.

My feet swelled up so badly I had to wear weird old lady's shoes, they were vile. But, hey, by month 8 I couldn't even see them

My prenatal classes were at 9am (luckily I lived 5mins walk away). The first hour was 'let's talk about breastfeeding through mastitis/how to use a bouncy ball; the second hour - the whole hour - was lying around doing excercises and breathing techniques. Reader: I fell asleep. Frequently. Stupid bastards!

Borrowed bouncy ball off DSil (who'd had her dd 3 months before my ds appeared) so we didn't have to buy one. Never used the fucker! I kept falling off, far far too irritating.

Hubby we had a small sink in our room when I was pg last time. I used to pee in DS' potty, pour it down the sink and follow it with bleach. I don't think it's disgusting, its practical!

Saggy A potty sounds perfect....... I use a plastic one liter measuring jug lol I starting when I was taking pregnancy tests (and chucking them away after two minutes because "they said no".... hence having to be told by my hubby that I was pregnant because he had found one of the discarded tests in the bathroom bin with two lines on.......
Anja I hope so! I feel sooo thirsty when I come back too it's like my licks are so dry they stick together in my sleep or sthg. So I drink a bit more and result, yup, back to the toilets 20 minutes later argh!!!
elquinto are you referring to the gym balls type things? I was dangerous with this when it came to exercising so pregnant with one of these... erm....
How do you find out about antenatal classes, does the midwife tell you about them?
Anja cheese on toast, jacket potatoes, fresh pasta: GOOD. Home made soup with green vegetables, spring onions, coffee: BAD :s
Smells are annoying too. The last time hubby and I went to Café Nero I swear I could have told you who was a dog owner and where they sat :s
