  1. Drink a whole bottle of red wine
  2. Pate on toast
  3. Get out of bed quicker for the loo.
  4. Run around the park with DS1
  5. Get rid of my 80's style lady garden !!

  1. The pruning of the lady garden is a must
  2. Walk properly without resembling a weeble
  3. Paint my toe nails myself ( just a chipped mess at the minute as no one will do them for me and I have trouble seeing them let alone reaching them)
  4. Drinking lovely crisp chilled white wine
  5. Having decent 'smelly' cheese to go with that wine

... To be fair, the list is endless, I could go on all night!

  1. Drink a jug of Pimms, I don't care if it will be bloody november.
  2. Sleep on front
  3. Eat very smelly cheese
  4. Only go to the toilet once a night instead of 3 times
  5. Stay up later than 10pm (ha ha ha ha ha, as then I will be too tired from night feeds)

well you ladies have pretty much covered it all. 1) To one day get trousers to do up! 2) To be able to bend down. 3) To not have hot feet and hands all the blooming time. 4) To sleep however I like... when I do get to sleep. 5) To maybe not be exhausted by one supermarket shop... just be exhausted all the time cheese and wine/pimms for all- hurrah! P.S libra winter pimms with warm apple juice is just as amazing as summer pimms

  1. Change positions in bed without having to do the human equivalent of a three-point turn
  2. Fit into more than two pairs of my shoes
  3. Go the whole night without having to wee
  4. Put my rings back on
  5. Lose weight (I'm soooo heavy!)
MammyG · 27/06/2010 22:35
  1. to have my regular boobs back and not feel like a weight lifter with unsexy scaffolding keeping these girls in place!
  2. To move without thinking! Pick up the kids etc without having to do some weird bump manoevre first!
  3. To eat without consequence - damn you gallbladder!
  4. To not have the whole world constantly commenting on my appearance - good bad or indifferent its freaking me out!
  5. Normal sex! Again freedom to move and not having the uncomfortable feeling after where I feel I am going to pee all night long!
BigMommaOfAlmost4 · 27/06/2010 22:45
  1. Getting in and out of the bath without DH's help and a lot of manouvering!
  2. Not being covered in sweat again 5 mins after getting out of bath/shower in this heat.
  3. Cleaning my teeth without feeling like I could gag/getting rid of the constant sour taste in my mouth.
  4. Feet not feeling like they are going to explode
  5. Being able to run/cycle - will be bliss to feel full of energy again.

Ooh - mine was to throw out the gaviscon! I hated the stuff!

MadameG · 28/06/2010 11:04
  1. Eating parma ham, chorizo, smoked salmon and prawn cocktail, all my favourite foods!
  2. Having a glass of Prosecco or Pimms
  3. Not having constantly hot, swollen nasty feet
  4. Being able to walk places without feeling like a giant uncomfortable buffalo
  5. Getting back into normal clothes
AhickeyfromKenickie · 28/06/2010 12:16

Oh, me too, I want my old boobs back, the ones that didn't weigh half a stone each! I want to go horse-riding again, I want a big bowl of goat's cheese and pasta, and I want to sit down without worrying I'm going to break the chair under the weight of my enormous arse.
But I remember with my other two pregnancies crying afterwards because I missed my big, beautiful bump so much..!

Wonderstuff · 28/06/2010 12:20

All of the above!
Sleeping on my tummy will be bliss
Eating without indigestion
Getting a decent nights sleep (may have to wait quite a while for that one I know, but insomnia is a killer)
Not crying at everything

I'm not even overdue yet - Got 3 weeks to go, I'm just soo tired.
