2. Don't start any home remodeling projects.

3. Don't have high hopes for your laundry getting put away.

    Don't put up Christmas decorations without help. Especially not outdoor ones. Don't lie down on the floor. Whatever you do, don't lie down on the floor. Don't read or watch anything about animals. Happy or sad.
    i just got up from the floor. it hurt. i'm now on the recliner with a heating pad. :(

    Don't host a huge family party and think you can do all the cooking and cleaning yourself.

    Do not drink any liquids before bed unless you want to wake up coughing and choking at 3am.

    DO NOT try to squeeze into/past anything you could before getting pregnant. You will just get stuck. :(

    NEVER pass up a bathroom. 

    Don't assume you can do anything quickly or easily. Multi-tasking is NOT an option. 

    And do NOT under ANY circumstances try on a few of your pre-pregnancy clothes. Big mistake. HUGE. 
    Why on earth would you try on pregnancy clothes?! I won't even try on 2nd trimester maternity jeans.
    Great question...Guess I'm glutton for punishment. :/ We're visiting fam in Florida over the holidays and I was trying to see what I could make work instead of having to buy summer maternity wear. I'm pretty much SOL.

    Do not turn down an opportunity to eat. Do not turn down an opportunity to go to the bathroom. Do not try to go to bed without taking tums, even if you think you feel fine.

    I completely agree with the tums part! I may feel fine before I lay down but the second I lay down I remember why I decided I should take a couple before bed...no matter what!

    Don't pass up the chance for an afternoon nap, or any nap for that matter.
    Don't feel guilty about asking people to give up their seat on public transport, don't assume it'll take the same time to walk to the station/bus stop etc as it did last week.
    DO stop at McDonalds for breakfast #2 if you feel hungry before you even get to the office....and don't feel guilty about it if you do :)

    Do not think you can keep up with your 13 yo daughter on a shopping trip.  If you are crazy enough to attempt it, make her carry ALL the bags.

    Do not think you can wear high heels comfortably on a 12 hour work day.  With that, do not think you will be able to take them off easily at the end of the day.  Get help.

    Do not get dressed while standing.

    Although this is so tempting, do not... i repeat DO NOT over eat.  It causes so much misery in so many ways.

    Don't drive the skyjack at work.  I reenacted that scene from A Christmas Story where the little brother gets all bundled up and then has to pee.  Only 20 feet in the air.  Good Times.

    Don't work a full 8-hr day, then run to do three errands, and come home thinking you'll have energy left for any other projects. As said by other ladies: you're kidding yourself. ; )

    Do NOT watch The Fox and The Hound. You will end up crying like a baby.

    Do not think you can skip wearing your compression socks for a day. It is so not worth the pain you will feel later.

    Do not take your dog to get spayed/neutered around this time. Ugly cry face when dropping off and picking up. Overall hot mess.

    @DreamingBabies We buy 4 gallons every Sunday. By Saturday, I'm on my last half gallon and have to be talked off a ledge. 

    I bought a gallon on Saturday, and it's almost completely gone now. I'm thinking I should keep a spare like you and @Dreamingbabies! :)

    Don't think you can pee once and get into bed and be good until you wake up again in the middle of the night.  No, plan on peeing at least 3 more times before you actually fall asleep.
    This^^ I swear last night I peed 3 times in 15 minutes

    Went pee 
    Washed hands brushed teeth
    Went Pee 
    Washed hands popped face pimples D:
    Went pee 
    Went to bed and I swear like 20 minutes later I had to pee AGAIN!

    Do NOT physically swat your DH for making fun of your groaning noises.
    You end up in a snow bank on your ass being laughed at flailing trying to get up. COLD

    Do not bend over trying to dry your hair after you shower

    Avoid, TV at all costs IDK why but it seems to be all sappy things that make me blubber!

    DO read harlequin red blaze books ;) they seem to help get me in a better mood to do the deed with DH ;) lol

    I love this thread!!!
    Don't leave home even on the shortest trips without snacks and water.
    Do not let anyone take a picture of you sitting down. The angle is not flattering.
    Do not get in the car and go somewhere without being aware of at least 2 places on the way to your destination or on the way back you can stop to pee.
    Do not kid yourself into thinking that you won't eat what you're craving today. Inevitably you will or you will become homicidal because you didn't.

    Do not expect your non-stretchy shirts to fit comfortably.

    Do not feel guilty when you have a snow day and accomplish NONE of the things you said you would as you fell asleep praying to the snow gods.

    Do not take walking down the stairs lightly! It gets tricky when you can't see your feet. I have massive bruises down my back, and butt. Thankfully LO is just fine!

    1. Don't run out of peanut butter. Your chocolate will get lonely.
    2. Don't murder DH/SO/anyone who tells you that you look bigger this pregnancy than your last. Jail is no place for a pregnant lady. Plus, hiding the body might be tough at this stage. All that lifting...
    3. Resist the urge to murder people who tell you that your maternity leave sounds great (8 weeks?! How 'bout those Canadian policies?!) WTF! I hope this are the same people waking me up at my desk to be in time for staff meeting when I've been up all night with a 2-month old.

    If you are lucky and your mat jeans still somehow fit, DO NOT wash them and definitely do not put them in the dryer.
