As your due date gets closer...

[bearsmummy]

What are the things your most looking forward to doing again? And what things don't you want to return?

I can't wait to be able to sleep on my stomach.
Or being able to eat anything I want.
Being able to wear my old clothes.

The things I'm dreading are my periods coming back because it's been lovely not having any.
I can't think of any other bad ones

Oooo....

Ive got to agree with you on the period thing...I almost forgot that you have them, so really not looking forward to that.

But on the looking forward to front...

It'll be nice to not get upset when I realise my shoe lace is undone because I know the struggle that is about to commence trying to tie them back up.
Not going 'ooooo' when I try and get up from somewhere and thus feeling like an old lady.
And again...I agree on the clothes. Ive already planned a shopping trip in september to the bullring, cause Ill be able to enjoy shopping again by then...actually fit in nice clothes!!!

Loving this thread!!!!
I'm really looking forward to going for a long walk rather than a short hobble!! To potter about without pain or suffering for it later on!
I suppose I'm the same, not looking forward to af coming back and the extra flab I've accumulated!

I'm looking forward to not getting up in the night 3 times for a wee then struggling to get back to sleep because i can't get comfy again or because i'm being kicked on the side i'm try to sleep on. (i know i will still have disturbed nights sleep for obvious reasons lol) It will be nice to see my feet again, not get stuck on the sofa and eat blue cheese again. Period i'm def not looking forward to and I think I will miss my bump in some ways

 

[racheldee]

i miss being able to walk around town without getting bump ache or my back and hips killing me!
i've missed chasing my dogs around the garden when we play too
hahaha and i miss being able to give good hugs without squishing bump!

 

[bearsmummy]

Oooo thats a good one about the not having to get up to wee in the night!!
And chasing the dogs around!!

[katiejane]

ohh I HATE having periods too. Id forgotten about them, life is so much easier! Also ive been a lot less greasy since ive been pregnant, I used ot have to wash my hair daily, as after 24 hours Id look like i had gel in it.its like I never stopped being a teenager! Im going every other day at the mo and washed it this morning even though it didnt really look greasy! Im saving a fortune on shampoo and I dont really wanna go back to normal. I think Ill miss being pregnant in general, I feel so healthy and at ease with my body

But on the plus side I cant wait to be a mummy

 

[evajo]

MY Baba - and all that comes with that - babes smell, his/her features, finders, toes and lots and lots of cuddles.
I'm looking forward to eggs and soldiers with the kids and FETA!
Looking forward to being able to sleep and being able to run around my children in the park.
To having a body that doesn't ache like i'm 70 and the ability to do jobs at a reasonable speed!

Gonna miss having an excuse to eat that last bit of ..... or have one for me one for baby!
Defo miss my bump and the constant play with him/her in the evening - although I will have my beautiful babe by then and obviously i am looking forward to that the most.
Miss the attention and the excuse to buy new things.

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Im looking forward to seeing Rosie's face when she meets the baby - running again and being fit - BOOZE - snuggling up with my new baby - changing a nappy on a baby that doesnt run away - STILTON - RARE RARE RARE STEAK!!!

Not particularly looking forward to broken sleep, periods, the drop in hormones that make you a complete wreck - being utterly paranoid about safety of baby and poking to make sure its still breathing! good thread!

 

[ERIN84]

Oh RM, RARE STEAK...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I had forgotton how much i love it x
