Good things about not being pregnant yet........
I'm surrounded by friends who are new mums, friends who are just about to be and friends who have just had BFPs - none of my female friends at the moment are not pregnant or new parents. All I'm hearing is excited baby and pregnancy chat at the moment and although I am really glad for them it can all get a bit too much. So I keep trying to think up good reasons for not being pg yet....
1. I can still eat shellfish
2. I can still eat rare steak
3. My boobs don't leak at random times (or at all really:lol
4. I don't have to buy new clothes that I can only wear for a short amount of time.
5. I can have a gin and tonic when I feel stressed.
6. I can take medication for my hay fever.
7. I don't have to pee every 5 minutes.
Does anyone else do this? I know all of these things are fairly trivial but it helps me a bit -in fact the first thing I do on the night of getting a BFN is pour myself a nice cold G&T (hopefully won't have to do this for too much longer though!!

1. Can have long lie ins whenever I feel like it.
2. Don't need to upgrade car at the moment to fit everything in.,
3. Can go out at the weekend with dh without having to think about the cost of a baby sitter.
You dont cry at EVERYTHING
You dont feel like a minger
You can eat brie etc
You can see your own lady bits and dont have to rely on others to do waxing
You dont spend every waking hour worrying about stretch marks
You dont feel like you husband thinks your a webble
You still have a regard for logic
You can eat proper poached egg and peanut m&m's
You can walk more than 100m without feeling breathless
You can have sex without stress
You can drink what you want
You can buy nice summer clothes
Cuddle time with hubby (not easy with a huge bump)
Proper nights sleep (the bigger you get the harder it is to sleep and rolling over becomes a mammoth task)
Roll on the 22 July!
Only kidding - OV tomorrow so it's about time all of the above go out of the window and I start the dreaded 2ww!!
Being able to nip to the shop and back in one minute flat, rather than the half an hour it takes to pack up and the baby stuff!!!
A fellow scot.
I would seriously not mind at all if I just got my BFP!!!!
