I am on Maternity, what next???

[First Baby White]

Hello,

I have finished work today for Maternity leave and have been home for 2 hours and I am bored already. The problem is when I am bored I constantly pick at food and havent stopped since I got home lol!!!

What do you all do to keep yourself occupied till baby arrives??

 

[MissSara]

Pregnancy forum and ice pops usually do me for a couple of hours in the day.
Then the ocd takes over and i HAVE to clean, in fact i dont no why because by the time OH and Harrison have been in the house for an hour im right back to square one.
This month its been a washing and ironing obsession........ Really need to find something constructive to do with my days.

In the mean time welcome to the PJ club........ enjoy not getting dressed.

This is my second week and I'm suffering slightly from cabin fever. It's hard going from working every day to suddenly having nothing to do. I'm trying to have one thing to do a day, be it just popping to the local shops or going into London to meet a friend. I feel as if I should be cleaning or something all the time and am finding it hard to relax around the house. The problem I am finding is that because all my friends work Monday to Friday I have no one to do things with during the days which is a bit rubbish. I think the key is to keep busy, but not too busy that you wear yourself out.

I'm also now addicted to Jeremy Kyle

I'm sneaking in early....sorry! Just been thinking about maternity leave and realised that Isort of start mine on Friday! I'm a student you see so my final term finishes on Friday!!! The only rubbish thing is that I dont get to relax, I wont have time to get bored...I've gotta write my dissertation over the summer to hand in on the 8th September (Due date 15th). At least I can be at home though I suppose, hope you find something to pass the time

I dont do anything tbh! I love it!

I tend to be sunbathing atm, did LOADS of washing, take very long baths with a good book, go swimming, i sometimes meet Dave on his lunch and do a spot of shopping.

Having said that i'm a student anyway so having time on my hands is normal for me, in fact i cant understand how people who work full time can fit life in lol!! My evenings go veryvery quickly i've noticed.

If i get up late like today, say 11, i watch tv until lunch, then i'll potter until neighbours is on, then i'll bath and i've sat on here talking to Dave for ages (pfft the boy thinks he works) i've got dressed and i'll put make-up on and go have tea with Dave when he gets back, then whatever he fancies doing this evening.

Most of all try and enjoy it! I'm alreasdy thinking i dont want mine to end anytime soon, i know once shes here i cant take hour long baths so im enjoying them for now

I read in the bath. (this is my favourite)

I have the time to go to the farm shop and buy nice food.

Keep up to date with the washing.

Cook proper food instead of microwaving things.

Visit people.

Sleep as late as I want without the alarm going off.

Buy the last of the baby bits I want on ebay.

Ooh, mine starts end of next week too and am wondering what I'm gonna do.......I'm going to my mums for a week first but then I think I'll just become a pregnancy forum geek and clean lots........and buy something I really don't need for baby every day...
