When you realize that every conversation from now until eternity is going to start with, "How are you feeling?"
Yes! For a split second I get so confused "yeah why? Oh cuz I had bronchitis recently? Oh. Nope. It's because you assume I feel awful because I'm growing a person."
When you say hi to someone and just wait for the guaranteed break from eye contact when they try to discretely glance down to see how much bigger your belly is.
When you forget to put on your sexy compression stockings before boarding the plane... Then realise you can't bend down long enough to do it yourself and DH has to do it for you abd struggles for ages since they are as tight as your feet are swollen. Glamorous :-)
When your regular pants still fit barely, but still slide down your belly even with a belt on. And yet maternity pants are still too big so either way you are constantly pulling your pants up.
My regular pants haven't fit since week 8
I'll be 22 wks on Wednesday and my bump just started showing. So that may be why. I also had a lot of extra padding to begin with in that area.
When you are 24 weeks pregnant but still just look fat rather than pregnant, so every time you go out to eat, the waiter/waitress asks if you want a glass of wine or martini.
When you play a funny game with DH, start laughing and then start choking on your food, then yell out "I need a towel" because your coughs are so bad you start to pee.....
When you are in the middle of a conversation with a sales associate and LO decides to use your bladder as a trampoline and you have to panic-waddle away mid sentence to the restroom.
When you start sobbing in the grocery store parking lot because your toddler accidentally let go of his new Elmo balloon and instead of throwing a tantrum he shrugged and said "Elmo going back to Sesame Street. Bye bye Elmo!" I needed him to comfort me. He saw me crying and said "It's ok, Mama. Elmo just going home. We go home too." I am more emotional and irrational than a toddler. Awesome.
When you and DH are trying to get it on, but baby starts kicking up a storm 2 minutes in and instead of keeping your cool and acting sexy you laugh hysterically. Mood killer....
When you think a sexy shower together would be fun. Then the hubs suggest we might not both fit anymore.... then you need a nap because he was right the sexy shower was exhausting.
When you spend an hour looking everywhere for your iphone and give up thinking "it will turn up." You go to the bathroom and it falls out of your back pocket into the toilet.
I'm very annoyed right now. Why oh why didn't i check my pocket?!

You could argue that this is a pregnant lady problem because you're in the bathroom 16x more often than you were pre-pregnancy....odds were much higher that the phone would end up in the toilet
When your Bradley Method instructor is talking about nutrition in pregnancy and getting enough protein then says "I don't mean get enough protein as in, if I eat this entire box of Kraft macaroni and cheese, I'll meet my protein requirement for the day". I feel like she was staring right at me, I do this at least once a week. Whoops!
Re: Pregnant lady problems....
AND
When you try to bend over to put snow boots on in freezing weather and feel like you're going to topple over.
