90 year old woman started taking stuff out of my cart at the store and put it an the belt for me. She said she could see I was struggling. I'm a bit embarrassed that is old woman showed me up!
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'm not sure if it's pregnancy related or if I'm getting sick... Went to bed last night feeling fine, woke up around 2am with a horrible scratchy throat and a post nasal drip. It's stayed about the same until around 9am this morning when I've added in a cough and slight sinus pressure, no congestion though. I called and spoke to a nurse at my doctors office and she said the typical stuff was fine to take, mucinex, Tylenol cold and flu, robitussin, chlorceptic spray, but I'm wondering if I've caught something or if it's just pregnancy wrecking havoc on my system.
Having a one and a half year old that sleeps through the night but because of being constantly flooded with dreams or the urge to pee waking up several times in a night and feeling exhausted the next day.
@ amovin21
I woke up like this today too I was thinking it might be because it is so dry here, but I really don't feel well. I have been sick so often this pregnancy - I really didn't see this coming
Mama to Three Girls: Twins born March 2014 at 26 weeks due to preterm labor and our 37weeker born May 9th, 2016!
When the scale reads 150lbs and you've never weighed more than 130... and you still have 15 weeks to go!
150 has always been my scary weight- like I knew life had gotten out of control if I ever weighed 150. I clock in at 160 now
That really makes those of us that weigh 150 on a good day feel really good about ourselves...
And honestly, there are so many more factors to whether or not you are healthy than a number on the scale.
I'm not the tallest crayon in the box. We are all built differently... wasn't meant to shame anyone. I just can't believe I've put on that much weight in this pregnancy so far. It came out of nowhere!

I don't think your comment came off shaming! You are just saying you put on x amount. It's when someone says hat x amount is their scary weight that comes across a bit harsh. No worries!!
When the coffee machine at your office is out of coffee and so are the ones on every other floor, so you finally go to the nearby cafe almost in tears and about to have a mental breakdown because you only get one cup a day and the coffee gods are trying to deprive you!

I definitely didn't mean it as harsh or shaming to anyone! I was saying its a struggle when you have an idea in your mind of "good" or "bad" weight and then you blow past your bad weight. 150 was MY number for MYSELF, not a number I attributed to anyone BUT me. And now that I'm 160 and still healthy and looking good I see how stupid it was for me to attach worth to a number like that. sorry that didn't come across- pregnancy brain?

This makes sense - and pregnancy board feels different some how, but unspoken internet etiquette, especially with a group of ladies, tends to be not to post your weight at all - maybe say I gained/lost x pounds, but we come in so many shapes/sizes that it is kind of a blow for one lady to read that another lady's weight is appalling to her. Also wide ranges of mentalities/eating disorder pasts/whatever other issues, and posting numbers can be triggering to negative thoughts. I don't think anyone here as sounded the least bit rude in this regard, just something to keep in mind moving forward.
That moment when you're trying to do a puzzle with your almost 3 year old on the floor and it takes you 5 minutes to get up and your son gets tired of waiting for you to move
Just need to get these out at the start of the day.. 1) boobs still growing bigger than stomach- WTF - so I just look FAT not pregnant and they just p me off anyway before they are stupid size 2) men that stare at said chest - I am pregnant you cretins 3) colleague in today who has taken to addressing me as fatty or chubby - can't even go into it all here - I know what I should do but I am bottling it and wishing the next weeks away till I can go off 4) husband that wakes me at stupid o'clock then I can't get back to sleep 5) me for being such a grumpy cow already!!!!!!
I know we've talked about it and it's been mentioned on here, but yesterday on my 3rd sneeze in a row I peed, a little. It was a first for me and while I instantly started laughing I'm glad I was at home at not at work or out running errands!
When you have to pee really bad so you run/waddle to the bathroom, pee two drops and five minutes later you sneeze/laugh/cough/fart and pee all over.....
When your husband shouts out "honey are you okay?!"
Yeah...just breathing like I'm a smoker on a treadmill when I'm carrying a laundry basket upstairs... No big deal.

ahee
This happens to me all the time. My husband must ask me if I'm okay at least four or five times a day. I'm perfectly fine, I'm just making sad whale noises because I am, at this moment in time, a sad whale.
But like if I weren't okay, what would he even do to help? What is the point of asking?
(And like he never does the things he could do to help, which makes it doubly ridiculous. Like I know that when I finally haul my ass home around midnight, the giant cardboard box that he could have taken down three flights of stairs to the curb for trash day will still be sitting there, right next to the door, waiting for me to take it.)

By the way, for the record, this totally happened.
I got home at midnight and yep there was the box, sitting right by the door. He didn't even stack the other smaller boxes inside, I had to do that too.
It's really not a big deal and I don't mind -- if anything I actually think it's probably good for me to have a reason to go up and down an extra three flights of stairs -- but man, in combination with the constant "are you okay?" questions, I just have to laugh sometimes.
Re: Pregnant lady problems....
walked at at the gym yesterday then went to the mall for a few hours. Just too much for this prgnant lady I guess. Feels like I did 500 squats!!
@LadySamLady I thought of you when it happened. Didn't know if I should cry or laugh at myself. My husband chose laughter.
