Why do they hate one another!?!? I can't get comfortable because my bump is right at desk height no matter how high or low I adjust my chair! I think I need longer arms

I work with kids and have to sit at tiny tables on tiny chairs.

Can't get up off them. Can't get near the table. Bump also getting in the way of sink/cooker and in danger of being burnt!

I got stuck between two car wing mirrors as I was trying to elegantly weave my way between them in busy car park when hugely pregnant with DS1 - just plain forgot there was a bump!
I think kangaroos have it sussed, short pregnancy, deliver small joey, cuddle and carry round with you until ready to face the world on his own - sorted!

Oh, Pacific! You poor thing! I haven't gotten used to the fact that I can't squeeze between things that I normally would've either.

Mogwai LOl about the tiny chairs!

You both make my problem sound like nothing!

Remind yourself, bump is only temporary, and nice little surprise is reward for putting up with it.

I side swipe stuff with my bump or bum at the moment when trying to squeeze between things - mainly tables in cafes

I used to have this problem, people kept saying to me that DD would be born with a ridge on her from where she was pressed into the desk!

Only solution for me was to get a longer keyboard and have it right on the edge of the desk and sit at a bit of an angle!
