You might be pregnant if...

greeneyedgirl12

I keep coming up with these, basically things that are hard(er than usual)/silly/etc. that only seem to happen/be the case when you're pregnant...

I'd previously posted:
You might be pregnant if buying a scented product without smelling it first qualifies as living dangerously...

My two from today:
1. You might be pregnant if doing a couple laps/one flight of stairs to and from your laundry room is exhausting and leaves you almost completely winded.
2. You might be pregnant if getting the water bottle from your coffee table that's ~3 feet away seems like a lot of work and/or almost not worth the muscle/RLP pain/effort...

Your three major food groups are pickles, pop tarts and bagels.

cindler

You seriously consider taking a nap after cleaning one bathroom.

jenniferjoy37

Shoes now have to be slip ons.... tying shoes just doesn’t work out very well. 

wineandcoffee

You buy two pints of Ben and Jerry’s because there’s always the chance that one won’t taste the way you want it to 

firecracker_mama

Your grocery pick-up has more chocolate on it than anything else 

nopegoat

You brace yourself when you have to cough or sneeze so you don't pee your pants.. 

thycapanj

You quietly walk away from things you’ve dropped on the floor because bending over is becoming too much of an effort......  

xtinecatherine

You can’t bend over to pick up a dropped item, but will go on a recon search for a lost chocolate chip.

Am I going to puke if I eat this/one more bite/at this time of day is a serious question you have to consider even when you're not otherwise sick or down with a stomach bug...

firecracker_mama

@greeneyedgirl12 yes! I have a fine line between full and puke.

key33

You might be pregnant if you buy a 2lb bag of gummy bears. 

acgx

...if you're thinking, 🤔 ''can I bring my bag of Chex mix into the gym with me...?" Snacking while exercising, I don't know how I've never thought of this before!

mama_bear19

You want to cry when the store doesn’t have the pickles you want 😥

kingdommom

Your gas is worse than your husband's 💨🤭

hakele

@acgx my coach’s wife saw me snacking during a workout and she was like, “Maybe I should eat during a workout.” Then my coach was like, “Um, you know H is pregnant, right?” 

mamanessen

... you work in sales and started to use your due date as a way to incentivize people to buy now. 

... you wait an hour in line at a new bakery that opened up and spend $80 on baked goods just for yourself. 

acgx

@hakele yesssss let's make this a thing!!

@mama_bear19 I feel like this about pickles when I'm NOT pregnant, soooo 🤷 What's your favorite? I love claussen! 

mama_bear19

@acgx same kind!! They didn’t have any!! 😡😭😖😩😤 < — I think I felt all those things... 

indulgentgypsy

You cry when you realize your DH used an empty Roasted Garlic Trisquits box to pack some things and there are no Trisquits - the Trisquits are a lie

hestia-is-wearie

Your idea of "living dangerously" now means putting socks on standing up

canuckmomma

Just crying. Random crying. EMOTIONS!!!

greeneyedgirl12

Carrying loads of laundry around and throwing them in the washer and going to the gym are almost equally breathtaking. Literally.

@canuckmomma OMG me last night. I didn't put it in the crying thread because it was a combo of hormones, plus a lot of little things adding up plus a giant first world problem (the one I'd previously put in that thread), so it wasn't one good concise thing, but holy crying breakdown Batman.

greeneyedgirl12

Edit: Combined into reply above.

gingermama46

If you do a surprise Jimmy John's lunch delivery for your husband, and add a pickle knowing that he'll bring it home to you

cindler

You take a bath (yes, I still do that.  Judge away if you want) and your accompanying drink is a glass of milk instead of wine.

I also forgot to add any scent to the tub so it was just me sitting in warm water for 45 minutes.  Still made me feel better!

indulgentgypsy

You went to bed at 8:30, got up at 2, and 4, and finally 6 and STILL didn't get enough sleep. 

indulgentgypsy

you are currently wondering if you could be comfy on the floor of your classroom and crash for a desperately needed nap. 

hakele

@cindler bathe away! But MILK? 🤢 that’s nasty. I couldn’t imagine drinking milk while sitting in a warm tub. 

cindler

@hakele it had ice cubes in it (I know, probably more 🤢 for you) so it stayed nice and cold! I had wicked heartburn and it was all I could tolerate!

ameliabedelia-2

you eat coconut cream pie for breakfast

greeneyedgirl12

@ameliabedelia-2 100% did that this pregnancy. The good pie place in my area is like 25 minutes away so I tend to stock up when we go.

cindler

@ameliabedelia-2 my breakfast today was a mango and doritos!

greeneyedgirl12

Almost any exclamation of "Ow!" to any degree of seriousness/loudness/distress brings DH to your side rather quickly.

Related: Your abs, stomach muscles, and round ligaments get personally offended and throw fits/hurt when you have the audacity to sneeze/cough/yawn with any force whatsoever.

cindler

@greeneyedgirl12 so true! I dont know how many times DH has asked me if I'm ok when I'm winded or tired or say ow. I just want to give him a huge hug every time he does it too! 

greeneyedgirl12

If you actually want to remember to do something, thinking “I’ll do it in a minute” is no longer an option because the chances you’ll remember what it was you actually meant to do in a minute is 60-40...

nopegoat

When you notice a car slowing down to check you out from behind then you turn to the side and they speed back up. 😂😂😂😂

jennm0724

@nopegoat that one has happened several times now when I'm out for my walks.. makes me laugh so hard! 

mamanessen

cindler I've been taking a warm bath almost every day since the moment I found out I was pregnant! There's no shame there. It's been my saving grace in easing my achey body. 

jasonsgirl92

When you want to eat Domino's pizza and a Subway sandwich in the same meal...
But you can't because you had a tooth extracted because babies are killer on teeth health 😭

fromcatstokids

You accidentally hit the back button while reading an interesting thread, but now you can't remember what the thread was called, or even what it was talking about.
