When you're at the movies and you see the actors eating pizza so you scrap the beautiful dinner you had in mind to make an immediate stop at the closest pizza place on the way home.

You're afraid of laughing too hard

Ljessen, I apologize in advance. Please don't hate me.

You know you're pregnant when you become irrationally irritated at the use of your instead of you're. This is not the first "you know you're pregnant..." post that has had this mistake. Grinds my gears, and I finally had to say something.

In turn, you can be irrationally irritated at my inability to overlook improper grammar. That would be totally acceptable.

You spent all afternoon looking up and crying to various music videos. I needed a good cry I guess.

I don't think autocorrect and spell/grammar check alway catches this particular mistake anyway. It's something that you just kind of have to know. Examples:

You know you're pregnant when you eat an entire bag of potato chips.

You know your pregnant when nursing friend will have to decide when to wean her first child.

This is why autocorrect and spell/grammer check might not catch it. There are actually ways to use the phrase "your pregnant when" that are grammatically correct -- even if they are difficult to say and don't quite roll off the tongue. In fact, spell/grammar check tries to fix the second sentence to change the word "your" to "you're," which is actually not correct. This is why I absolutely never rely on those tools.

But then again, I am a grammar and spelling nazi. Did I mention that?

Sometimes, a good cry is absolutely necessary. I always feel so alive after a good cry, lol.

....when you get out of bed, throw shorts on, get into the car with no shoes to go to Taco Bell to get that burrito you saw on TV earlier and can't stop thinking about.

...when you make only two cookies in the oven so that you'll drink a glass of milk to help hit your calcium quota for the day. And your sweet tooth.

...when you fall asleep multiple times in the bathtub. Or you give up your routine of reading before bed because the second you lay down, you're too tired to pick up, much less READ, a book.

JaneW2

You take a weekend trip with meals included, and over half your luggage is still food.

Mwu1123

You get winded just from walking from the car to the inside of your house.

You have a craving and your sweet husband fixes it for you, only to not want it by the time it's ready.

Babychuu

When you eat a single chunk of pineapple and have unforgiving heartburn for the next 4 hours.

 When you get exhausted just from walking to the mailbox and back.

Poor H...I ahve done this way too many times.

You know you're pregnant when you walk in the front door and take your pants off because it is just too hot and uncomfortable to do anything else.

Jmattis

You just went to the bathroom and have to go again ane You get up 4 times a night to use the bathroom! You are always hungry and can't stop eating and you don't fit into any of your clothes prior to getting pregnant!

MissMandyD

Everyone in the room yells at you for trying to move a chair!

This.  Since, like, five minutes after I got pregnant, seriously.

What's my excuse then? I was an English major and improper English drives me INSANE. I've flat out yelled at people for ending sentences with prepositions. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. hehe

Rebis58

When you sleep through the majority of a 10 hour road trip (poor DH) and still want to go to bed at 9pm

tesskerr

You can't sleep all night, but just wanna sleep all day.

You enjoy cleaning. Surely it's too early for nesting! I deep clean the house everyday, very unlike me.

juliasmama2010

You cry while watching a Full House episode when Jesse premiers his music video, "Forever". Seriously
Happened. Didn't just cry, bawled!!

Ending a sentence in a preposition is actually not grammatically incorrect. It's my mission to spread the word to all of those who have interest in the English language!

Here are some links:

https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/ending-sentence-preposition?page=all

https://oxforddictionaries.com/words/ending-sentences-with-prepositions

And if you look it up in Strunk & White's Elements of Style, which is pretty much the true grammarian's bible, you will see that it is acceptable.

A lot of those grammar rules that we learned back in elementary school (or higher, ugh) are incorrect. Ex: I before E except after C? Weird. Science. Hmmm, guess not so much. The problem is that they don't always "unteach" those rules when you can have an understanding of when to use them and when you should not use them.

That's a great episode though
