My new favorite game apparently is whack-a-baby

My bump isn't *that* much bigger than my gut used to be, but I still find myself whacking it on EVERYTHING. I constantly mis-judge my size and try to squeeze through places I just plain don't fit. It reminds me of when I was first going through puberty and hit my growing hips on everything.

I fear I'm giving my poor kid a complex where he will be afraid of walls and chairs, etc. before he's even born! hah!

Anyone else grossly miscalculating how big they've gotten?

Yes! I am constantly bumping my bump into EVERYTHING.  I see a space that I used to fit through and think that I can.  My poor bump has hit everything from walls, chairs, tables, to people!

But don't worry I don't think your baby will have a complex and be afraid of those things...well aslong as don't go bumping HIM into those same objects while carrying him once he's born.

Yup, I totally have to wear an apron in the kitchen b/c I would run into the edge of the counter every single time I went to just stand and cut/cook something...many an outfit change happened because of it.  I've also squished my belly a few times trying to squeeze between tables and chairs.

Yup, I hit my belly on the bathroom door everytime!  I guess I'm still only opening the door wide enough for my pre-pregnancy body.  I've also burnt food in the oven because my belly hit the knob on the front of the oven and I turned the heat up to 500 degrees without knowing it.

I promise I'll try SUPER hard not to! haha!

That makes me glad my oven knob is out of reach of my waist-line! hahaha! I keep thinking I have a pretty good handle on my size, but everyday I'm wrong at least once

Yes, I've definitely underestimated the size of the bump! I was at a wedding over the weekend, trying to squeeze through a crowd around the bar and bumped that belly into so many people. Oops. At least it wasn't my boob!

This is a good way to look at it - sparing the tatas...

Haha about your baby having a complex   We have a stackable washer and dryer and l was laughing at myself cause when I reach up into the dryer my belly is pushes all kinds of buttons on the washer

I keep hitting my belly while I am closing/opening doors!  It isn't even that big yet, so I am worried about what it will be like when I am farther along!

I did almost the same thing!  I was making rice krispie bars and somehow managed to turn the stove burner from low heat to high.  Not good, lol!

I hit mine with the car door which resulted in me freaking out the entire day that I must have detached the placenta.  Even I admit that was overreacting.

I turned around at work and hit one of my students in the head with my bump!  Oops.  Guess I forgot my stomach is closer to things/people then the rest of me!
