If you had a single 'day off' from being pregnant, how would you spend it?!

My husband asked me this last night. He said if you could somehow have a single 'day off' being pregnant (he reassured me you'd be pregnant again the next day and everything would be fine with the baby, this is a magical, hypothetical question!), what would you do?

I came up with:

  1. Bend down A LOT to make the most of being able to do it!
  2. Enjoy not stressing about how baby is / if that feeling is normal etc!
  3. Sleep to make the most of being comfortable!
  4. Eat really runny boiled eggs and some stinky blue cheese
  5. Go for a run
  6. Curl up on the sofa with my knees into my chest
  7. Have some really energetic sex (with him, obviously!!)

He pointed out that I missed out having a glass of wine, so I also added that on too!

Oh well, baby due in 6 weeks so hopefully after that I will be able to gradually start getting back to doing some of these things! (Number 7 might have to wait a bit!)

Indeed Grin. Had a lovely brie and chutney Sarine yesterday, but not planning on eating a whole block. Although having never heard of anyone getting ill from brie, I would be happy to do so!

Sushi feast, cocktails, sleep on my front, go for a long walk, dancing in the evening.

I would drink my body weight in red wine.

Go clubbing and get absolutely smashed! Eat a proper spicy curry without worrying if it's gonna come back up. Go to soft play with DS and be able to join in properly Grin

I'd wake up to Eggs Benedict and bucks fizz ... I'd follow that with a really hot bath and then getting into skinny jeans and a pre-pregnancy top and my normal sized bras.

I'd go for a lovely long walk in the countryside without stopping to piss all the time.

I'd then have a lovely long boozy lunch at the pub - maybe something with pate as a starter and then a rare steak with glasses of red wine that keep coming followed by a glass of whiskey.

And then that evening, after it all, I'd sleep on my lovely lovely front.
