I am 36 weeks pregnant and my feet KILL me when I walk around too much or stand up too much. Shopping has turned into torture lately. After hours of being on my feet or driving to and from stores, I feel like going to sleep!

So this week I used one of those little drive around go carts that Wal-Mart provides for the handicapped or those who have difficulty getting around. It worked like a charm! I buzzed around the aisles and loaded my groceries into the front of it. I bought a whole weeks worth of groceries and was happy and cheerful at the end and didn't have to deal with my feet swelling up and aching! Oh, and one other thing, it was great to not have to stand up while waiting in line. I just sat in my little cart and drove forward when it was time! LOL.

Ruth... do you mean one of those gopher things that old people have?

It is a good idea but I couldn't help laughing at the mental picture, it would be such a temptation for someone hormonal to suffer from gopher rage.

I am lucky as DH does shifts so we can more or less arrange the shopping trips around DH's hours.

LOL. You mean, like a golf cart? Kind of, I guess.

No I mean one of those things which is kind of like a scooter except bigger and wider and has a shopping basket on front??? Is that what you mean?

I think I might get IN the trolley/cart next time we go shopping and have DH push me around LOL.

Yeah, that's probably about what it is.

Do it if you feel like it! It'll make your feet feel great! :) :)
