@mumbolino I am so happy it cooled off here in SA the last couple of weeks cause I struggled with the heat so much. It really is horrible so I know your pain!
Used to love heat. Loved it. And now? Who know that the expression "bun in the oven" is a very real thing? Uffff. Anyone who wants some heat I will trade for snow or anything below 25 degrees!
I've been struggling with the heat in Auckland NZ as well . . . its been so muggy here that I really don't want to move. I went for an evening walk when MH said it was nice and cool out. By the time we got back I was huffing and puffing and covered in sweat. The heat is making me feel like a gross sweaty pig
ditto. It SUCKS!!!! Takes till may till dry season gets here ( cooler and the humidity drops!). At least when baby is here it won't be too sticky and hot.
All the darn restroom breaks! I'm a teacher and I have my conference period at the END of the day! Ugh! I have to time my bathroom breaks carefully.
I am so thankful I share a wall with another teacher so I can just have my kids do a quiet activity like reading and then open the door, let the other teacher know, and book it to the bathroom!
When you go to your normal bathroom stall at work and realize you can no longer close the door because your belly gets in the way, and need to switch stalls...
When you park the car next to DH's motorbike, try to get out of the door, realise after a few huffed tries you kinda underestimated your size and you totally will not fit through the gap without either kicking over the motorbike or getting stuck/squashed. And then you don't want to repark, as it was hard enough. So you sort of whoooopp your entire big self to the passenger seat, and get out on that side.
Then realise your neighbour has been watching....
Thank God he's old and he does not have a smartphone...
When you're so used to feeling miserable all the time that you've begun to associate that misery with the pregnancy moving forward, to the point where you can't enjoy the occasional day of actually feeling decent because in the back of your head you can't help but go "omg what if this means something's wrong".

This. Last pregnancy I actually got reprimanded because I ran to the bathroom between block periods rather than standing by my door the entire time. This pregnancy, I don't give a f*ck. I need to pee and it only takes me 1 min; I'm going during passing periods.
@LittleBitt a coworker said the same thing to me. I told her she was rude. Today was the first time she said hi to me in a nice way. She made the comment in early December. Whatever. Don't be rude to me first and I won't tell you how it is.
1. When it's 35 degrees outside and you're still hot. 2. When you fart and it smells so bad you can smell the after effects of it 10 minutes later.
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....
This! Only sub out the kicking and add in some other ridiculous pregnancy issue like me noticing my belly. I'm giving my dh a complex.
When you're running late so you walk briskly for half a block and then are gasping for air. But no one can tell you're pregnant because of your massive winter coat.
me today. and every day about the bulky winter coat... which also prevents people from offering their seat on the subway or any other courtesy.
Or when you find you are too big to wear your favorite winter coat and can't close it up while leaving a restaurant.
Wishing my chair at work was just a little shorter, so my bump would fit underneath it. I'm having to sit way farther away from my keyboard and monitor than normal.
Also, having to ask my husband to help me put my socks and boots on this morning. Ugh.
When you contimplate too long if you should get out of bed to go to the bathroom or go back to sleep and you end up running (waddling) as fast as you can through your house to get to the bathroom.
I had my first major craving at 7pm last night for sushi, well, California rolls... I wanted them so freaking bad I was contemplating making the 30 minute drive across town that late at night just so the craving would stop... sadly, I did not... and I am still craving them.... hmmm... maybe tonight on my way home? @kdennis202

Chocolate pudding hit me hard last night. our work cafeteria had a limited amount of pudding yesterday with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles on top. I didn't get there in time and lost out. Even at 8 o'clock last night I still teared up thinking about the chocolate pudding that could have been mine.
When your new maternity pants (that everyone says are SOOOO great) are the most painful things in the world. Forget waterboarding, lets just put terrorists in these pants as a form of torture. I want to CRY.
@kbrands7, the day my feet look like this, is the day I am putting myself on bedrest

I will take you out of your misery if you wear those shoes, regardless of how your feet look.
When getting your shoes on and off becomes your daily Everest. I seriously think it might be easier to summit that mountain than it is to get my shoes on right now.
When you're in a crowded room for a work function trying to get to the pizza.. and your giant boobs bump the phone and knock it off the wall and everyone giggles.... -_-
When you're thinking about what a bad week you've had and try to figure out why, and realize it hasn't actually been a bad week... I'm just pregnant and getting ready for my Friday night breakdown.
@yogahh minus the hideous shoes, mine looked like that at the end of the workday from about 33w forward. DH would more or less push the water back up at the end of the day. It was so gross.
When you have to have your students just do a fucking worksheet because baby has decided to give you lightning crotch and you can't walk. Props to my kids for taking that in stride (and kindly asking if I needed help or was going to pass out)

@mrstmoose I just don't understand what makes people think it's ok to say these things to a pregnant woman?? Have we not proven that we're completely hormonal and irrational without you making it worse?
When you're trying to prove a point to your husband but screw up your words because your brain quit, so you end up not making your point at all because all he can do is laugh at you.....
Re: Pregnant lady problems....

I'm really annoying myself with this one. >.<
When every conversation with every single person is "wow you're so big! are you sure you're not further along?"
No I'm just making things up for the fun of it. But I'm pregnant so what's your excuse for eating those 3 donuts this morning?
1. When it's 35 degrees outside and you're still hot.

Even better, when you are in a store and drop something and you stare at someone until they pick it up - but technically this counts as a win!

Yum. Anyone want to come over for black bean and prolapsed uterus tacos?
Props to my kids for taking that in stride (and kindly asking if I needed help or was going to pass out)

I had to eat something while waiting for FRIYAY donuts to get here!
