Funny but not so funny things - let's share them :)

Almost time to go home from this hellhole called office

Let's share some fun things we can all laugh about.

We all know that pregnancy is a wonderful but also such a painful thing to go through. So what are your latest "difficulties"

For me, it's just trying to roll from one side to the other in bed. I'm in so much pain and sometimes my back and hips simply lock up and I get stuck. So I have to tell DH to literally push me.

DH also bought me a wondeful recliner chair that is more comfy for me than our couch. But once I recline that's it! I.can't.get.up!

And it is now impossible to give a urine sample at the docs without peeing all over my hands...

Now you go

Amen to not being able to give the sample....i've tried standing and all other methods....may have to bring DH in next time LOL

Can't take a bubble bath unless DH is home because I may not be able to get out.

only being able to shave a third of my legs on a limber day that is

IF by some miracle I go more than an hour at night without getting up to pee, when I do my thighs, hips, pelvic floor hurt so much i need a make shift cane to get to the bathroom.

I was late to work because a BM of mine went over its allotted time frame. Try explaining that to your boss.

Well they probably wouldn't ask the next time you were late ;-)

I got stuck on our couch last week and DH was at bowling. At one point I tried to just roll off the couch and catch my self with my knees but the coffee table was too close and I ended up with the right side of my body on the coffee table, the left side on the couch, and my belly hanging towards the floor. It was very Mission Impossible. Thank goodness my coffee table didn't self destruct! It took me 30 minutes but I finally got up. I haven't laid back down on the couch since.

Chuckled pretty hard at this one by the way...

I tinkled on myself the other morning after gagging a bit on my toothbrush. Even though I had JUST gone pee!

and I keep hitting my belly on things!

I do that all the time, too! And I can't seem to walk through a doorway anymore, I always try to take out a piece of wall in the process

I accidentally shaved a bald spot while trying to clean things up down there and didn't even realize I had done it. DH noticed in the doctor's office when I was undressing for my appointment yesterday. We got such a good laugh out of it!

Every time I cook I get food all over my belly. I made bread last night and flour was everywhere.

I feel like I'm doing advanced yoga moves just to shave my legs.

Peeing in the cup is soooo difficult. I almost dropped it right in the toilet today.

I am a human furnace! I can't believe how much heat this body radiates. This has been nice this winter because my hands and feet never get cold.

Now that I'm on bed rest, the doctor asked me to do a 24 hour urine collection. If you think those dixie cups are fun, try holding a gallon jug up to collect pee which I'm pretty sure was invented by a man since the size of the opening is FRICKIN TINY. It gets heavier and heavier each time you add to it. The worst part...you have to keep it in your fridge right next to the milk you put on your cereal. EWE.

TMI ALERT: Funny story about this jug from last night. I woke up at 2:00 a.m. and REALLY had to go bad...but I waited forever knowing that I had to go out to the fridge first to grab the jug and then back to the bathroom. I'm pretty sure that half went in the jug and half went in the toilet because I couldn't hold it at a steady pace and the jug was already so heavy I could barely hold it up! Lol.

Just incase you have to do one of these in the future, we usually get a bucket of ice at the hospital and put the jug in a bucket of ice/cold water. that way it doesn't have to go in the fridge next to your milk! Hopefully you never have to do it again though.

Me, I'm afraid everytime I sneeze or cough I'm going to pee myself. Plus, my maternity clothes don't fit anymore. The pants and the shirts just don't match up. With being 36 weeks and 5 days and the fact that I'm on modified bed rest I refuse to buy any more maternity clothes. I know everytime I go out of the house for an appointment I look like a hot mess. At this point, I just don't care anymore.

I wish I would have known you could ask for this! I wrapped it up in like five plastic shopping bags because I was so worried it would spill or leak. LMAO :-)

I am crying laughing at this because this totally happened to me, not this bad but I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

hmm...

what little wt I gained this PG is all in my theighs, I dont have to hold the dixie cup with my hand to get a sample. i just stick it in place and hold with my pudgey thieghs.

My 3yo daughter now likes to tell people she has a baby in her belly.

I have completly lost my shyness factor and will loudly ask ANYONE in a store to point me in the direction of a bathroom.

And I will tell anyone who asks exactly how I feel when they ask how I am doing... LOL Complete with TMI for those who know me well.

Sascha3 · January 2012

My daughter discovered a little trail of drops on the wood floors leading from my bed to my toilet. Yes...that is little dribbles of pee that fall out on my way to the toilet on one of my 5 times per night trips. I end up without panties after the first trip of the night.
