Waddle, waddle

durbie92 · January 2016

Anyone else waddling yet? Maybe I'm the only special one....I'm guessing it's because I'm only about 5'3" and have an extremely short torso. Seriously I'm 21 weeks today but look like I'm about 14 months pregnant! Also hoping I don't fall flat on my face from this bump.

Yeah my boss, lovely woman she is, told me yesterday I'm waddling.

Waddlin' all day er'yday!

durbie92 · January 2016

glad it's not just me. I don't even want to know what I'm going to be like when I'm 9 months!

I feel like I waddle only after I've eaten a big (or rather normal, but normal seems big these days) meal. I just have started really showing though to the point that I don't just look fat I actually kind of look a little pregnant even though I'm 21 weeks tomorrow.

I would have quacked at her and waddled away.

DH just asked me yesterday if I was pushing my belly out and walking differently. I told him no - just the joy of waddling because I'll fall over if I don't!

I'm waddling already and my belly is as big/bigger as another lady in my office who is due 2 months before me. I'm 5'3 with a short torso to and its kid #3 for me.

DH and I were having a good natured "argument," I said something smart, and then I walked off before he could say anything. He shouted: Waddle your pg ass back in here right now! I laughed so hard at him. So..I guess I'm waddling.

She's such a jerk face.

Only when my sciatica is bad

She sounds like an awesome person to be around. Yuck.

I waddle when I have to pee......

emma+karen · January 2016

Waddling over here, too, at 21 weeks! Plus my pelvis is the same kind of sore it was the month before I delivered with DS. NOT looking forward to the next 19 weeks!

kbrands7 · January 2016

Not waddling quite yet (I definitely was last time!). I have reached the bounce-when-you-bend point, though. No more bending over for me...between squats for exercise, lifting DS, and now picking up anything I feel like I'm doing them all.the.time.

littlebb22 · January 2016

I'm a 5'3" short torso lady also and although I haven't been waddling (I think...?) I have found that getting up from a reclined position is becoming increasingly difficult! Every time I heave myself off the couch or out of bed my husband chuckles

@kbrands7 Yes to the bending over as well! Tried to do up my laces the other day and completely failed. Who knew tying one's shoes could be so exhausting!

dsmith211 · January 2016

I 'think' I've been waddling but if I am DH has been too nice to say so. Bending down however is definitely out of the question. I've come up with some pretty creative ways to pick up things on the floor.

businessmama · January 2016

@doozer1345 I told my husband your story this morning because he asked why I was laughing to myself.... I read your story yesterday, and was still giggling about it this morning. Too funny!

Merciel · January 2016

I suspect I've started waddling when I get tired or have eaten too much. Not yet otherwise.

I'll probably never know for sure given that anybody who breathes a word about it to me is undoubtedly in for a shanking.

kp90 · January 2016

Hopefully my waddle looks something like this..

JennyS86 · January 2016

with 2 22month olds in the house, I'm bending over all the time. It's only gonna get harder, right?! I generally just go down and stay down and sit on the floor a while.

LadySamLady · January 2016

I'm pretty sure that I'm waddling but thankfully no one has said anything to me about it.

Bending over is getting really difficult, especially picking up after my dogs when I walk them. It just takes forever!

Also, putting on shoes is becoming an effort.

MsIan · January 2016

I waddle the more tired I get. So towards the end of the day, or after a particularly long day in court.

dshannah · January 2016

Well, I'm not waddling yet (except when I'm out in the ice and snow).

But I'm definitely less graceful than formerly. As DH reminded me when I tripped over the couch on my way to the kitchen: "Be careful--you're not as not pregnant as you used to be."

ALL OF THE ABOVE!

durbie92 · January 2016

I love all of this! Today a few of my (close friends) coworkers affectionately quacked at me lol. I second tying shoes...why are they so evil??? Also heaving myself off everything. Pregnancy rocks

If I have to bend down I've started the no shaming spread of the legs and bend. Pretty sure I look like I'm about to throw a football but it works.

QBF

Try a sumo squat for picking up after the dogs. Looks ridiculous on the street but it's the only way I got through walking ours last time and I've been doing it more recently and can notice a difference in breathing, especially now that it's freezing.

I am in full waddle mode over here and it gets worse as the day goes on and my back pain intensifies.
