Things the crazy pregnant lady does

peanutmuse · June 2013

I swear that our drinking glasses smell weird, so I have to put a couple of drops of lime juice into my water to make it so I can drink it. I just asked my husband to get me some water while he was in the kitchen, but to be sure to put lime drops in it. He said I should just rinse the glass out beforehand, but I assured him that I had tried that and it doesn't work.

He thinks I'm nuts.

I hate to say it I became nuts about cleaning. Everything has to be spotless. At least it keeps me occupied

I don't know what it is but lately I've been paying attention to the sounds people make when they eat and it almost makes me sick. Slurping coffee, chewing loudly. And it's usually in a place I can't escape so I just sit there trying not to focus on it but it's ALL I can hear!

I think my OCD is way worse now that I'm pregnant! All of my usual quirks are just magnetized.

Also my sense of smell and strangely - my hearing seems much more 'alert' and I now don't like to eat with people because all I can see/hear is them chomping on their food like cows. I know that sounds terrible but it's true. *sigh*

OMG this!!! I thought it was just me! This has been making me nuts. It totally kills my appetite. I cannot eat anymore if I can hear someone chewing or swallowing. Makes my skin crawl!

I can't stand the smell of stale air in our apartment when the windows are shut. So I've been keeping them open and using fans instead of the AC to stay cool. I'd rather be a little too warm then feeling sick because of the smell in here. I realize I won't be able to keep this up forever, but I'm going to hold out as long as I can!

I'm usually very observant but wow! Lately, I've been crazy spacey!

First, I was going to throw away a napkin. Napkin in one hand, phone in the other. Before I new what I was doing, the phone was in the trash. Hubby: "What was that thud?" Me: "um.... my phone...."

Second, Hubby apparently was talking to me. Didn't realize until 5 minutes later when he just starts saying my name over and over to get my attention. He was sitting right next to me.

Third, I tried to put my keys and phones in my lunchbox this morning rather than my purse. I think I'm loosing my mind!

I made my husband mow the lawn twice before a big bbq we had a few weeks ago. We usually bag up our clippings but he decided not to the night before we were having 50 people over because it "would make our lawn healthier." Needless to say, I freaked out b/c I thought it looked crappy so the poor guy got up early the next morning and re-mowed the lawn. He hasn't let me live it down since...

I can pretty much only drink Fiji Water ... all others taste bad. Stupid expensive Fiji water.

My nausea and m/s gets worse when i look at computer screens, but I still can't stay off TB and Pinterest.

I cried at the NBA finals last night, eventhough I don't like basketball, or the Heat or Spurs. The Spurs just looked so disheartened after her loss, I couldn't contain myself.

I swear everything in our house smells musty, including my husband, so I make him put on burts bees before he comes near me to kiss me.

I ate donuts this morning, vomited, and then came back to the living room and ate another one because they still looked so good, and had to run to the bathroom again.

I'm sure there are more, but I'm already feeling ridiculously crazy with just these.

THIS!!! DH eats egg bagels almost every morning and eggs and I are in a bad place right now too and the sounds he makes eating it....*shudder*...I always have to leave the room if I can.

Peanut, did your doppler come yet?

My quirk is just that I'm spacey lately.

Yes. No luck yet, though. Probably too early. It's in my nightstand drawer for a few days so I don't make myself crazy. In fact, I will probably wait till my ultrasound on Tuesday and really pay attention to where the baby is, and then run right home to do it.

I can't tell you the amount of times I've tried to put the coffee pot in the fridge and the milk in the coffee pot slot in the coffee maker!!

My sense of smell has went through the roof. And oddly most smells make me want to puke. Also I have became a perfectionist which normally I am not.

Okay, I think I'm going to wait a few more weeks before I order one. Especially since now I'm a week behind. It would make me crazy. Let us know when you have success!

I'm cold all the time! It's 85 degrees outside and I'm wearing a sweater, even after turning the air condition off. I put the flannel sheets back on our bed yesterday . . . DH was not pleased.

jenalena · June 2013

Oh... If only my DH would do the lawn... I'm going to hire someone today because it looks so bad!

With my first pregnancy, I couldn't stand the way our ice cubes smelled and how they made the water taste once they melted. I went out and bought the little square ice cube trays and all was right in the world again. This pregnancy other than being extremely impatient I haven't found any major quirks yet...although I'm sure they will come sooner or later.

This was me my first pregnancy too!!! We had just gotten a new fridge and they smelled awful. My husband thought I was crazy.

I am crazy annoyed by sounds too. My dad and I took a 13 hr. road trip (one way) a few weeks ago. I almost throat punched him because he kept doing this weird old man sucking on teeth thing. My poor dad. My husband's chewing makes me crazy too. He has eaten his nightly snack on the other couch lately. I feel bad. But geez....does he need to chew like a horse! Angry

For some reason the thought of shredded sharp cheddar cheese is completely disgusting (was one of my faves pre-pg), but sliced is ok.

This is SO me! I'm blaming it on the fatigue. I'm just so tired & cannot concentrate. I usually have some OCD tendencies & have to have some things done just right, but lately it is just like "I don't freakin care, it is fine like that & I'm going to sit down now"

LeannFran · June 2013

I'm even more spacey than usual. I have a b12 deficiency so when I'm not taking my shots I notice a change but I genuinely feel like I haven't been getting my shots! I have also had a hard time articulating. I'm a very good speaker and articulate very well, however lately ((even my posts online)) I feel like I'm not as smart lol honestly I'm almost embarrassed lately when I open my mouth it's like my vocabulary fell off the face of the earth.

This is me. I just cannot get warm.

turtlelp · June 2013

I've definitely been spacey, which I'm usually not. It's worked out somewhat at work because my job can be stressful and I have been so laid back, like, "eh, whatever" because my mind isn't so intensely focused.

Otherwise- the major thing is food. Lots of stuff I loved before I now hate. Poor DH, who is the cook in the family, has had to rework our "regular" meals. Lots of my plates have gone mostly uneaten; I'm driving him crazy!! Garlic, ketchup, and mandarin oranges are a few staple items I now can't stand. On the flip side, I can't get enough salt!
