Finish the sentence. What had you never done before pregnancy and now comes naturally, or at least is something you don't think twice about?
My answer:?
...been able to talk about poop easily. I had also never taken a suppository. Let's just say that I've become "acquainted" with them now.
What's your story??

Re: Finish the sentence: "Before I was pg, I had never..."
had a huge crying fit over my irrational fears of turning into my mother and never losing the "baby weight". ?
My husband has never seen my cry so hard. ?Even my cat was worried. ?
Damn hormones. ?
...I had never...
...wanted to chase a little boy around my house, thought about having a kid much less three, wanted to hear "I love you, Mommy" so badly, missed someone so much when they are away (ie: when he goes to Mimi and Pawpaw's house), or been so willing to wipe someone else's butt.
That's quite a few things I'd never done before I was pg or had a child.
before i was pregnant, i had never even thought i'd be comfortable talking about cervical fluid and my bowel movements so freely with pretty much anyone who asked.
i hope i go back to those days after my LO is born :P

I had never had reflux or knew how to burp.
I'm one gassy pregger.
"Wearing his BING CROSBY clothes and crooning...buuuh buuh buuuh"
Yeah, before pg, I could barely talk about poop period. I'll admit that marriage helped me a little bit with that. Now, especially when other mothers ask, I'm open to talking about it (if they are). It's sooooo weird and funny all at the same time.?
I had never been so comfortable spitting in front of people. But with the excessive saliva I had to get over it. Now when people come over they get a brief explanation about my spit bucket and I use it the whole time!
Also I had never hated wearing a bra, now I rejoice the moment I can take it off!
You can never go back. Especially when you're talking to other mothers about the issue that your child is having in the bathroom. Nope, you'll never be the same.
Most times, your children will do the talking for you, especially when you're in the bathroom at Target and you know it's full of other women. "Momma, I'm so proud of you. You went poo poo." I heard these exact words escape my three year old in Target's bathroom one day.
I also figured this. Your story made me crack up. Too funny!
It also helps to talk about it as you have to teach your child (as they get older) that everyone poops and it's not unusual to when you are at camp, a sleepover, whatever...?
I had never...
Given much thought to my weight. Now I weigh myself more to see if there's been any change... I want a bump! But alas, I only look like I had a big mac for lunch. And now I want a freaking big mac : (
Before I was pregnant, I had never.....
considered having natural childbirth. I did with DS and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm looking forward to whole L&D thing again, mostly because I want to see how it compares the second time around. Before I was pregnant I was absolutely in the 'give me the drugs' camp. Once I was pregnant and really thinking about an epi I changed my mind. I still remember the moment when I told DH what I was considering. I thought he would think I was a nutcase. He was/is very supportive though.
Before I was pg, I had never..."
had poop as hard as a damn rock! THERE! I SAID IT!
I had never...
Carried a bottle of Tums EVERYWHERE I go!
Considered stopping smoking (Thank God for that one, I was able to quit cold turkey the day I got my BFP!)
Consequently from stopping smoking, I had never wanted to be so far away from smoking sections of restaurants. Again, thankful for this one.
Talked about nips, poop, and vaginas openly with strangers.
Looked at my belly WANTING it to get bigger!
Happy Friday ladies!
This, exactly! Just a few months ago, I was also in the "GIVE ME THE DRUGS" camp
now I'm so excited to try to push my body to the limit and deliver without meds!
.....wore elastic waist pants to work.
.....studied changes in my boobs this closely.
lol, my 3 year old has said this to me too, at the most inappropriate of places.
Before I was pregnant, I had never...
...shaved my belly! I thought I was fully prepared for everything pregnancy related--but somehow I never got the memo on the excessive hair growth everywhere but my head. My stomach now rivals my husband's in hairiness (well, not quite, but some days it feels like it!). I finally got fed up with looking like an ape and shaved my gut. NEVER thought I'd have to do that!
Me too! I was about to say had to worry about shaving and grooming every day. It's crazy and my hair gets so dark in color. If I don't shave my belly DH threatens to pull them out!
