Oh boy. I’m only 31 weeks and the peeing is ridiculous…

I felt that way too when i went to a hockey game. i was hoping that our seats would be towards the end but of course, smack dab in the middle (and i was only 24 weeks pregnant then!!). i can’t imagine going now. i literally would watch the clock and count down when i could go to the bathroom. i only drank water too since drinking soda makes me go even more!

When I drove down from PA to GA last month, I had to be strategic with what I drank & how much. Again, knowing that soda makes me go, I had to drink water or only a small drink then know that I had to have my husband stop in an hour. I honestly did not know how I would make it down without having to stop every hour but I pulled it off!

I feel you. I went to the movies a few days ago at 39.5 weeks pregnant (due date tomorrow, WHY WON’T THIS BABY COME OUT ALREADY?!) and I paced myself from about 10am on just so that I’d only have to pee three times during teh movie that started at 1pm. It was ludicrous.

I actually watched a movie at the theater while in early labor and it worked out great. I had a distraction and air conditioning (it was late July). So don’t count that out!

Thanks for following me on twitter! I love your blog. I will be reading a few more of your posts after this comment.

You are not alone. But who gives a hoot? Go to the movies as much as you want! When the baby gets here you’ll be greatful you did because you won’t see the inside of a movie theater for a least a few months (if you’re lucky).

I went to see Sex and the City when I was in my 7th month. I had a seat in the middle too and also had to pee during the previews. I managed to switch my seat with people next to the aisle because I told them I was going to be getting up A LOT!

I am still amazed that I can pee…then go back to putting on my makeup…only to have to walk back over to the toilet and pee again 2 minutes later. I keep thinking, there will be nothing there…but there ALWAYS is! What is up with that? Oh yeah…the extra human being sitting on top of our poor little bladders. That’s right!

LOL This post brought back memories. I had to be induced at 41wks with both of my children. Nobody really plans to be overdue, so what do you do with all that extra time? My hubby was already off work, so we saw movies. Lots of movies! I think I even went to the movies the night before I was induced! And yes, I did have to go to the bathroom more than once or twice…

You need the RunNPee ap for you iphone. Yes it is just what you think you tell it what movie you are watching and it tells you the most opportune time to run and pee!
