Ok this is a really random question but...

has anyone figured out a good way to get out the bath? It's bloody impossible! since hitting later stages of pregnancy i've loved big bubble baths but the thought of trying to get out the thing puts me off totally. At the mo i kinda turn myself round on all fours and lift myself up with the sides of the bath but i slide everywhere, must look like a proper beach whale

I think you've hit on the best way I've found. I just turn over on my hands and knees and try to get up from there.

However, if I feel off, I don't try to get up from the hands and knees until I call my hubby to come up to hold onto so he can make sure I don't slip and fall.

I don't think I could give up the baths until absolutely needed as they relax me so much....

I turn on my side and use the side of the tub... Our tub is short enough that I can push the bottom with my feet too.

I havnt had any problems with just using my arms on the side of the bath and pushing myself up.. If anything id call my OH to lift me out though lol

i always feel like i'm gonna push the bath through the floor when i'm gettin out gripin onto the sides for dear life as i slip everywhere. U wanna hear it creak lol. OH tries to help me bless him! My mum suggested gettin one of them jml step things and sitting on it in the bath and kinda swinging round and after i could use it to sit on whilst bathin LO. I can't decide if that work or just make it even harder tho coz i'd have to actaully get onto the stool somehow!!

Lol might be worth a try depends how low down the stool actually is in the bathtub lol I dont seem to slip in my bath so thats good!

You need to invest in one of those rubber bath mats, that'll stop you sliding about and making it a bit easier to haul your butt out!!

I cant do it! So have to have a bath when my huby is in so he can help me out! Its a right mess!!! Have been sticking to showers lately!!! x

our bath has a funny shape in the middle of it, kinda curves in. we looked at the mats but can't find one that goes narrow enough in the middle tho there is 1 shop we keep forgettin to look in which means they probably have a pile of them lol!
