I got a present from my OH... bless

[daftscotslass]

He has no initiative whatsoever and when I complain he's not done any housework his usual response is "you never told me to".

Yesterday he looked all pleased with himself and led me by the hand to the bedroom to show me what he'd done (this sounds a bit dodgy... just read on.... ) and that it was a big surprise.

He pulled back the sheet to show me what he'd got...


















...a disposable maternity mat for the bed in case my waters break.

It's the thought that counts?

It's good to know he's thinking ahead.
I haven't got anything like that, hoping my waters go in someone elses house, preferably MIL's!

It was one of a pack of disposable ones from Boots. I'm not sure I like it - even though it's not exactly a rubber sheet it still makes me sweat more between me bum cheeks and in doing so makes me get my hopes up.

No, they're pretty cheap. Chances are your waters will break at the most inconvenient moment (e.g. when walking down the stairs) anyway so they're probably no use. I got a pack of 5 from Boots really cheap. I keep one under the mattress at night (just since this week as I'm now term) and one int he car in case they break when we're out.

Jim loves his car. If I gunged all over the seats he would NOT be happy

OMG!!! I was expecting a really sweet present...like some baby clothes or something!!!
I never even thought about anything like that ...so well done your OH for thinking one step ahead!!! I'll just be ruining our matress or car seat!!!
