    My husband thought that the doctor would pull out all of my intestines during my c section and put them on me........no idea where he got that one from.

    My mom was in the operating room for my last and say the same thing.. I'm sure they just saw a bit more than they expected

    @JESNYC‌ - I had to explain the same thing to my male coworker. He now knows what a placenta is.

    I was complaining to DH about gaining weight and how it's just not fun.

    To make myself feel better, I said something along the lines of, well at least I don't look pregnant from behind. To which he replied, "Definitely. From the back it just looks like you gained 5 or 10 pounds."

    Soul crushed.

    DH and I had this exact conversation a few weeks ago and he even grabbed my love handles while saying that. Definitely soul crushing.

    @caitb413‌, I only loved your post out of solidarity. In fact, I hate it. At least they mean well right?

    We went to our first birthing class yesterday.  They showed a video of a birth.  Afterwards, H looked at me with really big eyes and said "I didn't about the placenta."  It definitely freaked him out, haha!

    My SO and I never really go out. Well last night was a friends bday so we decided we'd go out. Of course I drank water and with friends still had a great time. When It came time to moving the group from from one bar to another my SO said "well I have see what my ball and chain says". When asked what he ment by a friend he says " well she's pregnant I mean nothing great about going out" my feelings were hurt that's for sure:/ I had a good time pregnant or not and I know he was joking because he always gets what he wants and I never tell him he can't do anything. He realized what he said wasn't funny and apologized but still...

    My DHs brother is getting married the last week of August in CO so we have planned to take a long 4 day weekend trip and have my parents watch the little guy.  (I should preface this by saying IF I will be able to part with him for that long bc he will only be about 3 months old, we'll see how it goes...) So, I over heard my DH talking to his best friend who lives in Ohio and told him we were going to the wedding an that maybe afterwards we could fly to Ohio for a few days and make a double trip out of it.  When he got off the phone I just stared at him.  He seriously thinks we can just tack on another 4 days to our mini vacay 3 months after I give birth?  So... my parents are just going to watch a newborn/ take off work for 8 days? Im just going to pump and throw out a weeks worth of milk or try to smuggle it in a suit case while we galavant across the country? And we're just going to call and check in on the little guy and make sure he slept and ate? Like a pet?  
    @izzetoot - just wanted to give you a heads up that you won't need to throw out or smuggle your milk while you are flying.  If it's in your carry-on bag, it counts as a "medical liquid" and is exempt from the 3 oz rules.  They just do a swipe test to make sure your milk's not explosive  ;)  I imagine you could also put it in checked luggage without issue, although I haven't personally done it that way.  Another tip, if your staying at a hotel, many hotels will offer you a free mini-fridge to store your milk in (if there is not already one in the room), again because it's considered a medical liquid.

    Not that that validates extending your trip for 4 extra days, of course.

    I was leaning on DH and he grabed a peaice of skin just below my boobs and went look look I think this is babys leg I just rolled my eyes and said no that's just another roll of fat.

    I found my first strech mark the other day and I was looking for a little bit of reassureance so I said to DH are these the worst you've ever seen he reply was "my ex never had any so I don't really no if there bad ones or not" He slept on the sofa that night and yes ladies he's still alive...just!!
