Bored on maternity leave

Sleeping😳I’m at the point where it hurts to even get up🤣just spend my life in bed on my phone or sleeping now

I’ve been so busy! Struggled but did some gardening, batch cooked a load of meals, cleaned the house, took stuff to the charity shop, got my hair done, been on some light walks and met with friends for tea and cake. Loved it so far! All the little jobs now done ready for baby’s arrival next week. I did work up to a week before though so maybe that’s helped, although I appreciate not everyone can go that long. Hoping to rest my puffy feet up for the next few days before baby arrives.

I’ve only been off since Friday and I am so bored already!!

I’ve been busy since finishing work! I’ve made sure I’m going out the house at least once a day just to keep moving.
Sorting babies clothes as the wardrobe got delivered. Already meeting friends for tea and cake 🤗😬 x

Im glad it’s not just me! I’m 40W tomorrow but I just don’t know what to do with myself while I wait around

Been nesting for weeks and both my partner and I have used every weekend to be productive, finally at the stage where everything's pretty much ready and I have no idea what to do with myself 🙃 played online with friends and just enjoyed small things like taking moments in a hot shower to just "be". I've got an almost 3 year old so that occupies most the time but parenting makes me feel so tired and ill whilst pregnant! She goes to nursery 2 mornings and week and goes to my in laws every so often but I find myself twiddling my thumbs 😬

I was cleaning and organising everything but these last 2 weeks I just can't anymore 🤣 I've been sorting pics and videos on my phone to make room for the inevitable 1000s I'll take once bubba is here

Reading books 📚

My day seems to be a routine of keeping the house clean, doing laundry so I don’t run out of big pants, making sure my hairs clean just incase I go into Labour 😂 and lots of lying down because my feet hurt. To be honest it’s been years and years since I was able to embrace not doing much without feeling guilty so it’s been a really good mental break for me

I’ve been finished since the day before Good Friday, I’ve just took my time to do jobs, finish the babies room and just chill. I’ve also gone on walks and things to get out the house for air ❤️

Tidying and organising our whole home, getting last bits and pieces for baby and me. Going for walks, swimming, seeing friends for dinner, seeing family, spending quality time with husband, reading books. Really making the most of just having a GREAT time as 2 weeks ago I was in such a slump and felt so crap. Also pampering ie facials massages etc

this sounds lovely. I really feel like it would do me good getting out more, especially being over my due date, but I find the days are so unpredictable at the minute with how I’m feeling it’s easier to embrace the hermit life 🙃

I've been cleaning, batching cooking, going for short walks, meeting up with friends, napping, binge watching telly, doing cross stitch, doing puzzles. Anything that keeps me from doom scrolling on my phone 😂.

ooooh batch cooking is a great idea, thank you for sharing!

I totally hear you it’s whatever feels good for you! 🤍😅 is this your first time? Our doula was reassuring me that if we were out for dinner and labour started we would pay the bill keep calm and head home. I think I always used to imagine labour like the movies 🤣 water breaking and crazy panic and rushing to the hospital with baby halfway hanging out looool

your welcome. We have stocked up on about 2 weeks worth of meals, hoping it helps us settle into our new routine and not have to worry about shopping or meals!

Netflix!!
Bridgerton and Downton

I feel like I’m constantly cleaning and organising and when I’ve completed everything I want to do. A day later I have another huge list. But also resting in between x

I went for Mat leave early as I took all my annual leave. I kinda regret because it’s been over 7 weeks since I start my leave and im already bored. Im 38 + 2 and it’s kinda mentally draining now.
