Funniest Thing About Pregnancy

What has been the funniest thing to you about pregnancy? I find it ALL funny, even the disgusting is funny.
"The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think." -- Horace Walpole once said
Personally, I think the unpredictable and uncontrollable FARTING is hilarious. And I crack up when I realize just how obsessed I am about food.
Passing Person: I think there's cake.
Me: Cake? Where?? Where's cake? Why won't you answer me? Where is the cake?

Re: Funniest Thing About Pregnancy
Another funny: sex. My SO and I must have a good sense of humor because our sex lives have drastically changed. I feel like a cow in some positions, and a dead starfish in others. And I'm surprising both of us with how high my sex drive has become. He's hoping it stays this way!
Another funny: butt pain and belly button pain. Never in my life would I ever have thought I'd complain about my belly button hurting and my butt muscles (or that area) hurting. I complain and then I laugh because to me it's almost like complaining about your eyelashes hurting -- it never would have made sense before now.
Come on -- we hafta laugh!
Oh that's another funny, and I can relate! I don't get pissy about anything else but when it comes to food you better watchout! It's like being around a starving lion -- once the food is finally placed infront of me I don't even stop to breathe.
This! My drive has increased so much in the past month or so, we're like rabbits and I get all pissy if he won't give it up LOL. I had to laugh the other day though cause I totally could not see what the heck I was doing.
My waddle is also funny!
Oh I can't see down yonder either. And I had to ask my SO to help me clean up (he did, bless his heart)... and that was a laugh.
I've just begun to waddle so I anticipate more laughter from here on out. Waddling and farting at the same time.
Another funny (I'll stop after this): getting out of bed. Well, it WAS funny. Now it's just plain difficult and possibly painful. I'm like an egg with extremities and have to roll out.
Completely roll out.
Not like roll over to swing my legs down to the ground. No, I roll off the edge of the bed and get my legs down before I face plant.
Ha, the idiotic things people have said during my pregnancy, HANDS DOWN. Some of my favorites include:
(From Random Man at my bus stop while I was waiting to go home from work): "Are you taking prenatal vitamins and eating fortified grains?"
Me: "Why, do I look unhealthy?"
Random Man: "No, but you look young, and...[insert 10 minute "informative" rant about neural tube defects, folate, and fortified grains.]" I really had to hold back my urge to tell him that folate is actually most beneficial prior to pregnancy and during the 1st trimester, that it's better to receive vitamins through natural food sources rather than fortification, and oh by the way despite looking young I am a federal employee with a bachelor's degree and great health insurance... *sigh*
Me opening the door to the ladies' room at work while another woman was pulling it open from the other side, and us nearly colliding with one another, and she says: "OH my gosh I'm sorry, I hope I didn't scare the baby!"
From my friend Ashley, after I brought up getting together for a weekend swim sometime soon: "Yeah, we can go sometime at night so the UV doesn't tan your baby!"
Are people really this dumb? I'm thinking about compiling the best quotes into a book and trying to get it published... not in the "pregnancy & health" section mind you, but strictly in the humor aisle!!!
yes the food thing...We were on our way to the ILs last weekend which is about 2 hours away. I hadn't eaten breakfast yet and DH actually thinks it's ok to suggest that we wait and eat when we get there! I let him know how I was feeling about that one!! LOL
Make a pregnancy ticker
I think I've had enough breakdowns in front of FI for him to suggest such a ridiculous thing lol.
This happens to me frequently. DH cracks up EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I don't know why, but he thinks it is the funniest thing in the world.

Hahaha! That's hilarious. I just envisioned an egg with arms and legs rolling out of bed. It's so true though. I never thought getting in and out of bed would be so difficult. It's not funny when I'm trying to do it, but I'm sure I look funny rolling around like a turtle who got flipped over onto it's back.
I haven't had issues with farting, but I find the belching hilarious. I'll be right in the middle of a sentence, even the middle of a word and out comes a belch I didn't even feel coming. I crack up afterwards each time it happens because it's so ridiculous.
"Honey, could you grab the pa*belch*sta sauce?"
hahahahaha that's exactly what we look like! And doing this 3-4 times a night to pee is just so enjoyable!
LOL! I agree wholeheartedly on the getting out of bed.. I've gotten to the point where the belly's a clear 5" further out than the boobs, so I'm like a giant beachball with limbs! And the bed's on risers... cute.
also for me.. riding the bus has gotten really comical. People either look at me like I have 3 heads & give me the whole bench to myself, try to talk to me about the baby, or insist that I sit. I actually shrieked at a lady the other day to sit back down, because my back hurt & I didn't want to sit.. she kept insisting.. I felt pretty bad afterwards but for goodness' sake.. if I want to sit, I will! The bus driver the other day lowered the bus as if a wheelchair passenger was about to get on. Out of habit, I looked around to see if there was someone, and step out of the way.
He was doing it for me.
Love your list!!!
Hahaha! I can relate. I have noticed that there are two types of people out there: those who feel drawn to pregnant women, and those who are awkwardly repelled by them. I mean... I have a pregnant belly... not a third boob (although my normally assigned two are now massive, and the nips look like something out of National Geographic). Some people walk past me, I see their eyes wander to my belly, and they look away as if they took a peek at my chach and they're embarrassed. Some people that I KNEW had known about my pregnancy (they had found out thru others, not thru me) avoided me at all costs. It was like confronting an angry ex for them to finally come up to me and discuss the fact that I'm pregnant.
pregnancy brain has been entertaining for others around me. Like when i tried to put my dishes away in the morning and brought them into the bathroom and waas so confused at what I was doing. Or the time I put on deodorant and just lifted my arm with my shirt on and put it on my shirt instead of under my shirt.
Also I tend to run into things with my belly because I forget that its there cause im just not used to something to large sticking out there!
lol! oh that's a good one. pregnancy brain has be speaking in bizarre short statements.
Me to SO: Have you eaten yourself?
SO: [pause]... What?
Me: A sandwich. Have you eaten yourself a sandwich?
My thoughts arent as free-flowing anymore!
I think it's hilarious that EVERYONE told me to sleep as much as I can because this is my first and I'll be so tired later after the baby gets here and I won't have time to sleep.
But no one said I wouldn't be able to sleep! It's uncomfortable, the baby is kicking, I need a thousand pillows, indigestion kicks in, my lungs get squished and oh yeah, ever since I took my positive test I have to get up every 1-2 hours to pee! Why did anyone tell me I could (and should) sleep for 9 months?!
