WTH is wrong with me?!

in March 2013 Moms

As I'm getting through these last stages of pregnancy I'm starting to think I'm losing it. I have never been this looney with my previous pregnancies (granted there is a big difference in being pregnant at 24 and being pregnant at 32) but I don't remember ever being this nutso. Lol.

A few ex. I'm obsessed with the taste of Arm & Hammer toothpaste! I'm brushing my teeth like 6 times a day because that crap is delicious. Also I'm constantly hot, I'm sitting here typing this in a tank top and shorts with all the windows in the bedroom open sweating like a freak...did I mention I'm in NYC and we are in the middle of a snowstorm? Also the smell of Vicks Vapor Rub.....omg it's like preggo catnip. I wish I could just dip my face in it!

I was pretty normal up and just having the usual preggo symptoms, until about a week or two and then I promptly lost my marbles.

 

Is anyone going through anything similar..or is it really just me? Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

    Your not alone. I'm organizing my nursery and the smell of diapers is awesome. I keep going in there just to take a wiff of the package of diapers.

    I used to be obsessed wih my Colgate Advance Cool Mint toothpaste and have changed my tastes to Crest 3D White Arctic Fresh. The obsession with toothpaste started around 4 weeks.. I didn't even know I was pregnant then!

    ETA: I'm also obsessed with the smell of cleaning products, especially those that contain bleach! I clean my bathroom daily just because I love the smell!!

    Nope you are not alone. I'm a wack job too. I live with my parents right now and they just had their drive paved. My crazy a stood out there and sniffed that smell for as long as I could get away with it. I told my mom I'd lick it if I could... Totally weird. Everyone in the house got a little ticked at me the other day because I flipped the A/C on in the middle of the night... Then I took off almost all my clothes down to a tank and panties, turned my fan on, and slept with no cover. It is SO hot!
    I nearly kill people over food and have a constant fear that there won't be enough because someone took more than their fair share... When in reality I'm probably that person.
    Yeah... We have officially lost our minds.

    I do not think you are crazy, but perhaps you should mention the toothpaste obsession to your doc. That sounds a lot like pica, which your doc needs to be aware of. Again, you are not crazy!

    I HAVE to eat baby carrots. Lots of them. I ran out of baby carrots a last week when I was sick with the flu and there was a snowstorm raging outside. I packed my 2 kids up in the van and headed to the store, because I knew I wasn't going to make it even a few hours without baby carrots. As I was doing this, I knew it was slightly crazy, but seriously could not stop myself.

    Also, the smell of cleaning products (Lysol bathroom cleaner, laundry detergent, windex) is amazing to me right now. Glad I am not alone!!!
