You know you are 7 months pregnant when you realize that burping can prevent acid reflux.

[KJRSMR]

Or when you can't fit next to your shopping cart anymore to take groceries out.. I have learned to pull from the front.

I do that all the time!! lol.

I turn to squeeze through the sliding glass door, or by a chair and then I bump my belly.

Andee

You have to break out the maternity girdle . . . you have to stand sideways to wash dishes in the sink . . . you can no longer bend over at the waist and either have to squat down to pick stuff up that you've dropped (again) or have to have your other kids pick it up for you!!

[Jules09]

Yes, the squatting!

You know you're 7months pg when you are straving and 3 bites in, you are full.

YES!!!

[dogmom327]

Your oversized jacked it getting tight.

Heartburn :

You've stopped picking up the blocks...better idea to just kick them all into a pile in the corner.

You wait until you absolutely have to run errands because doing so with a toddler you have to get in and out of the car is far too much work.

[beachcomber]

When your 3 y.o. gets frustrated trying to cuddle you and says, "Mama, where your lap go?"

I have to sleep in a reclined sitting position to alleviate the heartburn. I've got 3 pillows behind me and 1 under my knees. It's hilarious. Well it would be if I had the energy to laugh about it. I've got 10 weeks to go and I'm beginning to fear how big I'm going to get!

[wildnewmamma]

Ha ha, this is oh so funny, and OH so true :

[ihugtrees]

When your DH has about six inches of space left in the bed.

When you can't find a bra that works right, so you give up and start wearing sports bra's all the time.

When you outgrow your first round of maternity clothes and have to buy the next size up...speaking of which, I know it's off topic, but I have to say that the pants I bought last November for $29.99 are now $45.99 at Motherhood Maternity, AND their return policy is now 10 days exchange only/no refunds! I'm boycotting them. I'll wear spandex from Target before I pay almost $50 for a pair of jeans!

7 months pregnant and counting

...you wet your pants every time you cough, sneeze, squat, laugh, or simply wait too long.

And then sometimes you feel like you have to pee desperately and when you sit on the toilet you get drip, drip, drip...


...or maybe this is just me?

Argh, no it's not just you...I was just griping to myself in the bathroom because I thought I just HAD to go again, but it was drips

I'm glad only the dogs & the birds hear me sometimes lol.

...When even your maternity shirts refuse to stay pulled down to cover your belly.

...When you keep waking up with your bum hanging out from under the covers, because there's not enough of them to cover all of you.

...When you go pee, and by the time you've stood up, flushed, and washed your hands, you have to pee again.

[SeattlePisces]

When you have your fortress of pillows at night that need to be tucked in precisely at the right angle (one behind the back, one under the belly, one between the legs, and two behind your head), and it takes about 15 minutes to get them "just right".

The novelty of the the big belly is kind of wearing off, and you start dreaming about buttons and belts again because you can't walk anywhere without constantly pulling up your maternity pants.

You are cautious about the way you walk because one false move can release a fart, always at the wrong place and the wrong time .

You go pee, and 10 minutes later are going pee again! Oy vey!

You get tired of saying the same thing 10 times a day & are thinking of having a shirt designed that says: I'm due in June - It's a boy - Yes we've picked out a name - No it's not my first.

I was having some incontinence issues and even bought pads, but then I started being super religious about my kegels and it's a lot better. I thought those things were so hokey until they actually helped me! Now it only happens if I really have to pee and sneeze, cough, etc. Then again, I still have 11 weeks to go, so I'm sure I'll get to that point again soon!!

[TrishWSU]

I can just say ditto to EVERYTHING in this thread already! And thanks, y'all gave me a good laugh!

Each day, I get more comments about my pregnant belly.

I GRUNT these days!

Suddenly, I'm as tired as I was throughout the first trimester... and I barely remember those months because I SLEPT THROUGH THEM!

Climbing into dh's truck I noticed I grunted, when I commented he told me 'Honey you grunt ALL THE TIME now!' I think if I hadn't read this thread & laughed about it already I would have been upset, instead I just giggled.

[phrogger]

I thought of a new one. I am an emotional mess. Only at 7 months pg would I bawl like a baby at my sons band finals. And then I bawled even worse when they only got 4th place. I am a mess.
