things that tick me off - bear with me

jessager · March 2012

people who don't give up a seat on the train for a pregnant lady (or a child, or an elderly person, for that matter).

people who touch me. I work in NYC and I'm always getting pushed, bumped into and elbowed....I'm about to go mental on a stranger!

having a closet full of clothes that no longer fit. I feel enormous, like everyone is thinking how fat I've gotten, and I'm only 13 weeks!!!

getting acne in weird places, like on the back of my neck all in my hair line. and between my bewbs. really?!?!?

whenever I vent to my boss about the constant nausea, he says (jokingly, I think) "well, you wanted this". I flipped him the bird last time he said that.

Am I allowed to say all of this and STILL be grateful and thrilled that I'm pregnant? Heck yeah.

I want to add, too: People who tell me, Why are you having a baby in August. It's going to be hot. That really gets me angry too. And, people who ask where my bump is. I don't have one. Thank you for making me feel paranoid!

YES!!!! Just because you had to go through alot to get here and are incredibly bless to be pg, doesn't mean that being pregnant isn't still hard.

I'm annoyed with m/s. I'm annoyed with my boss who said, "Isn't it a little early for ms?" I'm annoyed with stop-and-go traffic that I have to sit into to get to work that makes my m/s worse. And I'm really annoyed with people with BO who make me almost want to vomit when I have to ride the elevator with them. Use speedstick. It isn't expensive.

OMG - I have this too - EWW!! I guess on the bright side, it's not all over my face yet. I'm also still on prednisone and have a moon face that's making me look huge even thought I'm only 8 weeks!!

I am annoyed with eating. I have to eat ALL THE TIME in order to not feel sick, and I only have a limited number of things that I actually want to put in my mouth. It's like my entire day revolves around eating. I hate that I have no desire to cook, especially when I used to make gourmet meals and desserts.

Also not digging the cleavage acne - I think it's because my boobs are getting squished in my bra. Trying to rock the belly a bit more with fitted clothes, because when I was trying to hide it a bit more with loose clothes, I would just look bulky. Not cute.

At least I've trained my husband to say the right things when I get overly emotional.

I love the (albeit innocent) comment, "Oh wow you're due July 1st? You guys timed that just right!" Super Angry

(I'm a teacher so people assume that we just wanted a summer baby so I'd have that time off.) Little do the people who make those comments know that this had ZERO to do with timing on our part and I'm planning on taking time off next school year regardless!

I can do you one better. My baby is due the first day teachers report back to school. That actually is perfect timing!

Ditto to all of these! I'm also in NYC and it drives me insane when people don't give me their seat especially now that I'm in the 3rd tri and VERY noticeably pregnant. And when people do give it up for me... it's always either a woman or an elderly man! C'mon young men who are capable of standing... give up your damn seat!

And I also have gross acne on my back, neck and jawline. Fun. It has gotten a lot better since the 1st tri though so there's hope for you!

I have been having a really hard time with m/s this pregnancy. I hate when I'll tell someone about it and they compare it to a cold they had or a neck pain. Or when my mother tells me her coworker is pregnant and she is doing fine so I must be over exaggerating. Um, everyone's pregnancy is different!

doggie mama · March 2012

I HATE when people talk about how it is too bad I'm due in July, like, why'd you do it that way? Like I had any choice in the timing. I'm pretty much graetful after all this time to be pregnant. Yeah, I also would have liked to have conceived the fun way, without all the shots, blood draws, doctor's visits, shots, tears...

Yeah I get the whole, you are due in July, wow that is going to be hot. Uh yeah, we live in Florida, duh. That is what the pool is for.

I also had a little old lady come up to me and rub my belly. Grrrr, please don't touch me.

I dont mind people touching me

. It makes me feel special. Also, I spend all day with preschoolers, so personal space is kind of a foreign concept.

She is lucky I didn't deck her without thinking. I really don't want strangers touching me. It just icks me out. Someone I know is fine, but not randoms.
