So whilst buying Christmas presents and wrapping things etc.. I had an idea to write a blog post about the shittiest things about being pregnant around Christmas because lets face it, it is a bit crap and I'm sure someone out their can relate and hey its an excuse to write a post on this freakin thing which I'd love to keep up with in 2019, miracles can happen. Anyway, here goes..
1.Christmas Shopping, ugh!
Move out the way, pregnant lady with a bump coming through! I ordered all my families presents online but Isabelle's presents were mostly a two trip Primark job which in turn when you see stuff for yourself as well is never a good idea, as well as carrying the awkward wrapping paper. The only good thing I found about Christmas shopping is it was always a good excuse to have a Festive hot chocolate, preferably Starbucks.
2.Wrapping is a bitch
Can't quite cut and reach the wrapping paper over your bump? hey hun, I'm feeling it to. If all my family's presents were shittly wrapped this year, (nothing knew though) sorry, not sorry. I cant help it and I hate sellotape and wrapping paper, its evil!
I'm not going to lie, I want a freakin drink, I'm not a drinker myself, I don't really have it in the house and I didn't really grow up with drink around me in the house, I'm a bit of a bore really, three nights out once a year does it for me but I wouldn't mind a glass of wine with a cheeky fag as I do every Christmas.
4. Can't find that Christmas outfit, same here hun.
I ordered two outfits for Christmas from Next (Katie Piper) as I do every single year. I have to have a Christmas dress, but this year I just looked like a pile old crap in everything so I settled for a spotty maternity dress which I already own, I wasn't happy but it was comfy and that's all that matters at this stage.
5. Eyes bigger than your belly, literally!
So before Christmas dinner, I could eat a horse and nearly ate the entire bag of Heros I got so when it got to Christmas dinner I was like I could easily polish it this off wrong! You'd think being pregnant I could eat an entire horse but it turns out a breech baby pushing up on all your internal organs makes that harder. Ugh!
