When I give birth I'm looking forward to...

[CatRash]

Something light hearted for a bit of fun!!!

Obviously everyone is looking forward to meeting their new baby etc.

But what else are you really looking forward to????

I'm looking forward to sleeping on my front and eating a delicious rare fillet steak. Nom!!

Wearing some different outfits! Seriously bored of my maternity outfits.
A nice steak and glass of rosè

Love the idea of this thread!

• Eating rare steak and smoked salmon
• Enjoying a cold glass of white wine on a hot summer evening
• Being able to sleep more than now (an unrealistic goal I know!!)
• Going more than 24 hours without being sick! Whoop whoop!

I looked forward to eating all the cheese.
Putting the baby down!!
Seeing my feet again.

The best bit. The baby cuddles and the tea and toast post birth. Best meal ever!!!!

I'm looking forward to not being in pain anymore I'll take all the after birth pains/stitches etc over this spd any day!

Getting back in my rowing boat.

Baby cuddles

Having trousers with flies.

NOT HAVING HG.

And gin. All the gin.

16 weeks currently! Looking forward to...

Not gipping whenever I cough.

Chicken liver pate on toast.

Getting my body and energy back.

A year off work!

Not being pregnant I hate it!

No spd and being able to walk to the end of the road.

Walking dd1 to school.

Being cold
Getting up from a seated position without saying "hnnnnnngh"

Red wine
White wine
Rose wine
Sleeping on my tummy
Diet coke
Pizza (bloody heartburn)
Not accidently bashing into things when i 'squeeze' past
Walking up stairs without sounding like im about to breathe my last

Not being sick.

Pate on toast

Being able to stand up at normal speed without fainting, or feeling like I'm about to

Rare meat

Scorching hot baths

All the wine

A Hendricks Gin & tonic

Then (on a different evening ) opening a bottle of champagne I've been harbouring for the occasion, to be drunk with nibbles of pate, cured meats, little peppers stuffed with goats cheese etc.

Later down the line, once the nether regions have recovered and I can leave the baby for an hour or so, a bike ride.

Going back a few years. - I had a post-natal picnic with soft blue cheese and pate.

I was hoping to sleep on my front again, but that had to wait until the end of BFing

@mummabubs, if you're in the U.K. then smoked salmon is fine! I had some today

Sleeping on my front again.
Peroni
Having less hip pain

Not having heartburn
Normal clothes
Being able to paint my toe nails
Being able to roll over in bed
DH giving me a proper cuddle (bump moving freaks him out)

Really sorry to burst your bubble OP but you won't be able to lie on your front for a while! I thought that in my first pregnancy but your boobs feel like rocks and are leaking milk everywhere, it is too uncomfy (and wet)!

Not needing a pee every ten minutes was awesome though.
As was the disappearance of heartburn and swollen ankles.
And the massive basket of stinky French cheese and red wine that my dad brought me

Mr Whippy ice cream, dreading being pregnant over summer and watching everyone else with their 99's!

Sleeping on my front! 8 weeks to go (ish!)

Some of these are hilarious!!!

Didn't think about the whole boob situation post birth!!! Damn!!!

Another one - being able to burp without following through

I had a Mr Whippy on Saturday AiryFairy - didn't realise I couldn't!!!! Tell you what though - it was amazingly delicious!!

Not needing to pee all the time,
Wine,
Going for a poo without being kicked each time,
Breathing,
Not getting stuck in the tub,
Being able to put things on my feet,
Wine,
Not waddling after 10 steps,
Meeting baby and finding out of I have a son or a daughter,
Cuddles,
Wine.

Going for a run. I've been swimming lots but I just cannot wait to go for a run. Had my last one at 20 weeks and I'm 32 weeks now. I reckon based on baby no 1 if similar timelines I've got another 16 weeks to go before I can run.
