Release my parking break. Get from one side of my building to the other without having to turn around and go to the bathroom. Put socks on (no laces on my shoes! )
Getting laundry out of my top loading washer! It's always been tough because I'm only 5'1", but the bump is adding a special degree of difficulty
I noticed that today to, but I'm almost a foot taller then you.... For me it's taking the clothes out of the washer and bending to put on the dryer over and over.. Ugh sucks!!
Bending over feels like I'm squashing the little nugget in there. -putting underpants on, particularly left leg -sleep, I'm a professional at tossing and turning -sitting, not my fave lots of pressure
Thank god I'm not the only one who has a hard time getting dressed! Plus I'm only 4'11" so getting clothes out of my top load washer is damn near impossible. I have to use tongs to grab the little things that get stuck towards the bottom.
Navigate tight parking spaces: getting into or out of my car. Or when someone parks too close to you and you get smushed trying to squeeze past the mirrors.
1. Roll over in bed (I feel like a beached whale) 2. Getting up off the couch. 3. Shaving 4. Putting underwear on Countless others. I'll also add that at 27 weeks I'm not that big. I'm scared about how I'll feel with a bigger bump!
Getting both myself and my purse full of law books out of my car when parking is so tight and/or having to walk half a mile uphill to class because the parking situation is awful and having people just stare because I'm breathing so hard...and getting things off the high shelves at the grocery store. Why is the chocolate milk at the top?
I had great difficulty carrying a watermelon today. The rind was a tiny bit slippery so I couldn't hold it to the side under my arm, and I had to hold it way out in front of my bump... Watermelon has never felt so heavy!
1.Roll over in bed- my belly gets in the way of switching sides and my hips/pelvic bone I'd in terrible pain when I finally do get moved. 2.Get out of bed- have to have someone pull me up. 3.Get out of the tub.. enougg said lol 4.Wash/shave- it is one of the biggest fights to wash everywhere and I don't give up till I accomplish getting clean! Red faced, out of breath, and physically exhausted by the time I'm done haha. 5.Sleep- everything hurts and LO is more active at night 6.Eat- always feel full. Or puke it back up when in bed at night. 7.Drink- constantly having to pee as if it runs right through me. 8.Getting up off the couch or anything for that matter- constantly needs pulled up. 9.Walking- all the swelling in my feet from walking, loss of breath and a few other non pregnancy related health problems. 10.Leaning forward-belly to big. 11.Cutting/painting toenails- belly to big. 12.Put on pants/undercloths- can't bend properly to get them over my legs lol. 13.Laundry- reaching into washer. 14.Picking up my 2 year old- she's so heavy and gravity is not my friend. 15.Chasing my 2 year old...enough said.. 16.getting comfortable in any position I sit lay or stand is nearly impossible. Literally almost anything is getting way to difficult. November feels so much farther away than it did before and I only have 10-11 weeks left!
It's impossible for me to not stain every shirt I own. Whether from dropping food on it, or bumping into things.
I can not manage to get liquid from cup to lips without spilling it all over me. Why!? Really love when it's coffee and I don't have an extra shirt/dress on hand. The big chest and belly really accentuate the stains for all the see.
Okay, so people talking about laundry reminded me of what happened yesterday, so I'm gonna share. So there was a relatively small load of clothes in the dryer, and the laundry basket was in our room. I decided to do what I've done many times before and just grab the clothes up and carry them to the living room to fold. So, I'm squatted down in front of the dryer, get the clothes all bundled up in my arms so I won't be dropping them everywhere. I go to stand up and I'm totally stuck.
I tell my husband this and he says "we need to work on your leg muscles." Okay dear, I know you don't comprehend what it's like being pregnant, but this isn't just some I'm weak and pathetic problem.
Putting anything on my lower half, including socks, shoes and underwear.
Shaving
Moving in bed
Sleeping. It starts out good, but after a few hours I hurt all over.
We're having twins
Our angel baby boy is looking over his twin sister - due November 21
Control my bodily functions. Coughed and peed myself, bent over to pick something up (after pondering a while over how much I needed it) and farted which made me laugh and yup, I peed myself a little.
Going through doors, especially sliding doors, I keep bumping my belly in it. At home or at work. Also hit a door frontbelly when I missed the handle.... So stupid
I gave up half way through trying on new clothes yesterday. I've outgrown my first set of maternity wear and am needing new clothes. I didn't fit in the first grouping of clothes I grabbed off the rack, so I grabbed the next size up. I tried one pair of pants on and didn't bother with the rest...just bought them. Hope they fit!!
Also, parallel parking is a thing of the past. I cant physically turn my body around to see the space. So I just end up driving around for a while until there's a space I can pull straight into
Getting up off of furniture. There are officially pieces of furniture that I dare not sit in if I'm alone.
My husband has to help me off the couch if I get to comfortable!! I will get stuck on the couch if I'm not careful... But usually if I get comfortable I take a nap lol my husband laughs when I need help until when he gets stuck and I can't help lift him off the couch lol
1. Wash dishes, the counter hits my ever diminishing bellybutton in a very uncomfortable way. 2. Get things out of the lower level dishwasher rack. 3. Get collar and leash on my dog. As well as pick up dog poo during the walk (I think down the pregnant road I won't be able to safely pick up this poo..and the neighbors will hate me). 4. Rollover and adjusting myself in bed. 5. Wait more then 5mins after the initial urge to pee...sigh 6. Put on undies! 7. Sexy time with husband...sigh. Bigger belly definitely making this more difficult.
Sit on the train! Hated being squished before I had the bump and now I'm just straight up wedged in here. Plus I'm running out of room for my purse on my lap.
Eat without getting food all over my belly! I swear I wasn't this clumsy before...
Reach the dishes in the bottom rack of the dishwasher (had to make DH do it last night).
Baby kicks like crazy every time I'm at my desk and the edge of the desk presses against my bump. I don't think it likes being crowded in there. Oh well, get used to it, kid!
There's something pathetically and adorably hilarious about having crumbs all over the baby bump.
I'm struggling to walk without waddling. Especially if I've been sitting for a while. And DH likes to point out every time I waddle (he thinks it's cute... I feel like a whale).
I haven't worn sneakers all summer and now need to when taking afternoon walks. I finally had to ask my husband to tie my shoes yesterday because I can't bend over to get them tied. At least I can sit on the edge of my kid's tub to shave my legs so I don't look like a wildebeest.I

I asked my hiss don to do that for the first time awhile back and at first he didn't understand... But I signed us up for a class and they put him in the empathy belly thing and made him tie his shoes... He never asked why it was so hard again and I got a pretty good laugh out of it! I almost want to borrow it so he see what my days are like
I dropped blueberries on the floor this morning (like a bunch). Definitely wish I could have just left them there. Crawled around to get them and then had to haul my ass back up.
Re: The bigger my bump gets the harder it is to.....
Open any doors (I am constantly hitting my bump)
Reach anything in the kitchen cabinets
Get from one side of my building to the other without having to turn around and go to the bathroom.

Or maybe that's a sign I should quit opening my fridge.
