This is what my hubby says to me this morning. I was getting dressed. I am pregnant, and it is getting a bit difficult to maneuver. Plus I have back problems. Well I leaned back a bit too far to put my pants on. So I start laughing and calling for help. My back had locked up and there I was rolling around trying to give myself a boost. My hubby comes in to help and as he is lifting me up he says "You look like a turtle" We had a good laugh. Have you ever needed help? Our did you find a creative way of doing task without assistance?

Yes one time I had a back problem and I really could not move and I needed help of my husband, but he never called me turtle, hahahaha! Now I call my husband tomato face when he is serious, I love the expression, but do not ask me where I got this! LOL

Tomato face is usually if somebody turns red because of some sort of embarrasment. That's at least commonly used where I come from.

I will usually try to do things myself, but it is good-- and healthy-- to know when to call for a little assistance.

Now that will be something to write in the baby book..It will be a enjoyable memory for sure. When a disk slipped in my back I had to have help to lay down and to help me go to the bathroom.

During the last days of each of my pregnancies I often needed help getting up. It's really weird to maneuvre around with such a big belly in the front, isn't it? Lol. Also, after my last surgery I needed some help to get around, because I couldn't use one of my legs for a while. But yes, if I wouldn't have figured out some other ways to get dressed or do other things, I would have needed more help with lots of stuff;)
During my pregnancies I learned to pick up a lot of things with my toes so I wouldn't have to bend down for example.

I think i don't undertand your feeling forever,it's actual that you do everything unconvenient,in that time you need a man take care of you,you ready have one,you must alive in a happiness







I think I would have to figure it out for myself cause the baby would not be able to help me and the boy is at school.
