I actually do love being pregnant, but it ain't all sunshine and roses..
You know you're pregnant when you can no longer lean over to kiss your SO good bye while he's still in bed because your tummy is in the way...abd you were flats everywhere because tying your shoes has become a challenge.
you go to the McDonald's drive through and completely forget the names of what you are trying to order. I had to say that I forgot what I was trying to order and began to describe it is a sandwich with egg in it and bacon....an egg mcmuffin? hahaha
After spending 3 hours in the urgent care clinic with DS1 and a lacerated lip (ugh, BOYS!!!), I tried to nuke his soft food diet of mac&cheese and mashed potatoes in the REFRIGERATOR.
When the windows are open, the ceiling fan is on, you're wearing a light sheet with your feet out, and just a t-shirt....and everyone else is buried under all the covers wearing full sweats because it's 42F/5C outside and you're STILL too hot to cuddle.
@FyreFlyeRush Same! I basically am wearing a tshirt, no covers, fan blowing on me to sleep. DH hates it and is bundled under multiple blankets. I was still sweating last night too and the temps were down in the 20s.
When its nearly 3:30am & you’ve been wide awake for the past few hours so you’re playing candy crush as the pj masks theme tune runs through your head repeatedly & your husband is lay snoring beside you 😕
When you're driving down the road and cry out and your partner goes "WHAT?! Where?!" Oh, nothing, the baby just did that weird snake slithering across my tummy by my hips thing again. I swear this kid better flip soon, because some the moves he makes are really not fun and disconcerting.
@FyreFlyeRush I screamed the other day for similar reasons. It's weird sometimes. I think my baby is lying transverse so yeah some weird movements at times!
@biolprof, this one is complete breech, and you can see him trying to get his feet up by his head in ultrasounds to go frank breech, so I keep feeling feet squiggle WAY down low. It...is...NOT....PLEASANT. Of course, it's movement, so I'll take it.
when you're at a training and have to vote for best speaker on a white piece of paper... you write down "White" instead of the name and only realize later....
When you send stuff to the printer, waddle halfway across the office to pick it up only to realise you left your pass sitting on your desk so you cant actually access the printer. So you have to waddle back to your desk, pick up your pass & waddle back to the printer 🤦🏻♀️
@leprechaunlady hahaha! Mine is usually that I get down there and for some reason my computer decided not to print the same thing. Same effect though....
@FyreFlyeRush yup. I swear anytime she hits low on me it HURTS LIKE A MFER. And DH gets all concerned... but for her first, which i appreciate, but at the same time it's like... o no... she's fine. It's mama that's being abused here. Don't mind me... Just the punching bag for this supposedly cute human that I'm growing. Nothing to worry about.
When you try to paint your toenails to feel pretty because it's been a while, but you struggle while losing your breath the entire time and end up with polish not just on the nails but all over your toes 😑 but whatever, it'll come off my skin in the shower 🤷♀️
@peppyj9 this is definitely why I went to get a pedicure this weekend. Touching my toes is so hard! The technician even helped me put on my sandals afterward! Might have to go again before my due date lol
@peppyj9 I end up painting all over my toes even when not pregnant. DH always asks why I bother trying at all. He thinks I should just always go get them done.
I will definitely be paying to get my toes done before delivery since my feet will be in stirrups and I want to look at pretty toes while I'm in pain. I've always painted my own finger and toenails so I can splurge on other things, but that was ridiculous 😅
Woke up at 130 to pee. Laid back down. Heartburn kicked in. Moved to the couch with Rolaids. Heartburn dissipated. Had to pee again (230). Now in bed wide awake with SO bed hogging and snoring. Sigh... I've never had preggosomnia this bad before.
@FyreFlyeRush there's nothing like the rage caused by a snoring bed/blanket hog when youre wide awake & uncomfortable no one would convict you under such circumstances!
Re: You Know You're Pregnant When...
@marebear15 For me, you know your pregnant when you find salsa on your bump after your last meal.
When you are constantly stubbing your toe and knocking things over with your bump. I have no depth perception!
You know you're pregnant when you can no longer lean over to kiss your SO good bye while he's still in bed because your tummy is in the way...abd you were flats everywhere because tying your shoes has become a challenge.

@biolprof, I'm debating getting one, too, but with gel so it'll last about 10w.

Bonus - You bought your shoes a size too large, anticipating swelling...but you have none, so they fall off when you walk.

you spend 10 minutes trying to shave your hoohah, feel out of breath and need to lay down then realize you only got half of it. 🥺
