Pregnancy rules that SHOULD exist
digwriter
member
Never mind telling me not to eat this or that, I need rules that get me out of doing things I don't want to do and work to my benefit. If I could create my own pregnancy rules I think that I would like the following:
1. Any and all cleaning supplies are dangerous to pregnant women; therefor, they should not be allowed to clean while pregnant.
2. Because elevated stress levels are also dangerous, rule #1 does not mean that husbands, boyfriends, etc can just let the house turn into a giant trash can. Therefor they must either clean it themselves or hire a cleaning service.
3. Touching a pregnancy women's belly without permission is punishable in any way that she sees fit.
4. Ice cream is highly beneficial to pregnant women and their unborn children. It should be taken daily.
What are your rules? If you could make your own pregnancy rules, what would they be?

Don't tell a pregnant woman how to "handle" her cravings. They aren't the same kind of cravings a non-pregnant person gets.
F15 Siggy Challenge: What You're Looking Forward to Most After Baby Arrives: BELLY SLEEPING!

My twins stopped taking naps at age 2. It blows.
2. No talking to the stomach. Especially if you're a stranger.
3. Don't say, "Wow! How many are in there," when referring to the stomach.
4. If the pregnant is asleep, don't wake her up. Even if it's the parking lot of Home Depot.
5. Never ask for the pregnant's last bite of food.
I'm sure I'll have more, we are still awfully early in this adventure.
Holy mackerel, I've never EVER had to eat in the middle of the night before. This is bizarre.
I am also totally calling myself 'the pregnant' now.

People if my parents' generation are not allowed to say thing like: We ate lunch meat and tuna all the time when we were pregnant. You are just being overly cautious.
1. "You look gorgeous," is always an appropriate thing to say, and it should be said a minimum of 2x a day.
2. The words "bloated", "gassy", and "flatulent" should be banned from the English language during pregnancy.
3. It is the baby's fault that I look this way, so it is a baby bump, people. Just because the baby isn't living in the bump yet doesn't change anything.

don't get mad when she eats all the food,incluing yours, just smile and offer her more food and a back rub
mandatory spa days
all other children's diapers should be changed by other people so the pregnant woman won't gag or throw up

F15 December Siggy Challenge:
6. Don't touch the pregnant's boobs. Especially strangers. You may ask once a day for a grope, but exception doesn't apply to strangers.
7. Do not directly stare at the pregnant's boobs. ESPECIALLY strangers. It makes them hurt more.
8. Do not comment on the pregnant's boobs or ask questions about the pregnant's boobs. "No they won't stay this size." "No, the milk hasn't come in yet." "No, I'm not stoked they are this big." The answer is always no, so don't bother asking.
I would add;
1. Regular nap times when we are already feeling tired and stressed out, if that can be allowed at work that will be great.
2. A comfty office chair with a foot rest, a bathroom that is not all the way downstairs, a fridge with snacks would be helpful too
3.Any comments on pregnant women on in their first trimester that they are looking fat and have been having a lot of food cravings on top of morning sickness is punishable by law
4. Any comments on bigger pregnant women like me that I am fatter than before will be slapped on the face and drenched in Slurpee.
5.Husbands by all accounts should tie their wives shoelaces if need arises without any complaints. especially when we cannot see our feet anymore
6. Pregnant mommas should be able to have a foot spa treatment at least once a week and a complete spa treatment before the baby arrives (given that spa treatment has been cleared by OB)
7. Husbands should be able to cook for their wives (or kids) dinner especially when pregnant momma has been feeling more tired than usual.
Although I would not mind an unsolicited belly rub once my belly gets bigger,
I totally agree on the husbands job of cleaning the house. I still have yet to push my husband on that. LOL
That is all, the rest of the rules seem to be covered

Feb'15 November Siggy Challenge:
A friend grabbed your boob? That's crazy. I would probably be too surprosed to do anything, but I'd probably slap them once I recovered from shock.
We were getting massages in Korea and I didn't realize how inclusive a full body massage was until she got to my boobs. DH said that the look on my face was priceless. I felt slightly violated, but I also felt bad for the masseuse; I would hate to have to massage breasts for a living. And the unisex one-size-fits-all disposable underwear were hilariously gross looking. It was like a shower cap on your butt. Almost took a pic of DH, but who could I show that to?

Your vehicle must have air conditioning!!! You shouldn't be made to be pregnant in the summer with no air in the car. >:(
