Being on mat leave is driving me insane. I've got 8 weeks to go,all the baby washing has been done I'm so ready for her arrival.
Any tips on what I can do to keep myself busy?
You may even have 10weeks to go! Jeez not sure how I'd fill up the time 😂 I had a toddler this time so I had more reasons to be up & out the house. Maybe join some swimming classes & stay as active as you can otherwise it's easy to get lazy which won't help the further you get on & when labours around the corner.
@missy84, come organise my house! I've got just under 8 weeks to go and done nothing yet!😂xx
@missy84, oh then the walks are definitely something enjoyable to do! I miss my walks 👍🏻👍🏻! I've made a playlist for my baby perhaps make a playlist of music 🎶? Or a baby diary of your pregnancy maybe? 💕 I made a list of all the music bump kicked too lol xxx
@saraelisa, yes still able to walk n strangely still full of energy lol. I've bought as my Xmas cards n presents. Winter wardrobe is sorted n summer clothes have been stored. I might just go for lots of walks n take a book with me xx
At this stage you're probably still able to walk! Perhaps make batches of food, take some walks, I sorted my summer/winter wardrobe and I know crazy as I am, made a Christmas list for presents and Christmas cards things I may not have time for when baby arrives, I did knit a blanket, learn some first aid was helpful. It's really difficult I'm one week away from my due date and still everything is in place but I still feel I need to get things done! Xx
@tg123456789, unfortunately not as the twins (I worked as a nanny) have now started nursery. I wouldn't want to go back tbh as it was getting quite full on but I've just been so bored. I'm not one to just sit n do nothing.
same as @gemmaclairex i left 8 days prior to due date. good job really as she came 2 weeks early so dudnt get a break. can u not go bk to work now finished?
@missy84, yeah I'm on my 6th week of being off, had to leave on sick earlier due to spd, it certainly can get boring, I try to make lists of lil jobs I can do in house for next day to keep busy. I've started online shopping for my food shop as it was getting too hard. I know how you feel though, I'm nearing the end though my section is a week on Monday xxx
this is exactly why I only went 2 weeks before due date lol.. going out my mind now 😣 lol xx
I finished at 38 weeks.... i am now 4 days past my due date and im fed up. some days I feel really bored, others I try to go for a little stroll or go through loads of stuff and sort, tidy, bin, go through kitchen cupboards, rearrange things in house.
just got to keep occupied hun x
