You know you're 8 months pregnant when...

missnacholover · October 2014

... You look at the clock, realize you have another hour and a half of work left and tear up because you are so uncomfortable and 90 minutes is an eternity.

(feel free to add your own)

hjenni · October 2014

You reach down to put your boots on and can't because your belly is so huge. Cue tears...

brichar31 · October 2014

You drop something on the floor and it becomes unimportant

ssstephanie214 · October 2014

You ream the person who gives you attitude for taking the elevator to the second floor

Sarahbeth612 · October 2014

You throw up in your mouth a little whenever you have to bend forward

You have every intention of a nice prenatal workout, but get sweaty and out of breath changing clothes so... that counts, right?

Maelara · October 2014

You trying washing a dish by hand but can't get close enough to it while washing because your belly is in the way.

uncharted01 · October 2014

You stand on your tippy toes to look at something high up and when you come back down, you accidentally place your belly on the counter. Yeesh!

mander82 · October 2014

You have to sit down to rest and catch your breath just from doing your hair and make up.

CocoGelato · October 2014

Someone parks too close to your car for you to squeeze in your door without hitting theirs, and it's tear worthy.
Seriously though, climbing in from the passenger side and climbing over in my big SUV at this stage is NOT happening. Hope I didn't scratch their door handle.

Ug. SO. MUCH. THIS.

YES.

kaimee27 · October 2014

You feel like crying might not be an overreaction when a coworker mentions Pizza Hut and you can't have any RIGHT THAT MINUTE because it's 2 am and they're closed.

Rolling over from side to side in the middle of the night is enough to make you sweat and breath faster than a marathon runner.

Haha, yes! The other night I was so distraught because I wanted to roll over from my left to right side SO BAD but was telling DH that it's such an effort and not worth it. It's like the 9 point roll over. WORST.

krgriffin26 · October 2014

1. You've given up on wearing shoes that require laces or do not slip on,

2. Pants have become more optional than they were,

3. Items on the floor are lost to you OR you burst into tears and someone picks it up because they feel sorry for you.

mander82 · October 2014

You can no longer cross your legs without physically grabbing one of your legs and pulling it up over the other one. (belly in the way)

hiketheworld · October 2014

Everyone says: any day now! Or Getting close! Then seems shocked when you say, yep- only six weeks to go.

BrittG13 · October 2014

It takes extreme effort, planning, and coordination to put on your panties after a shower.

OMG I thought I was the only one who had to do this

brooklyngirl18 · October 2014

HEARTBURN!!!! horrible horrible heartburn i hate you. whoever says first trimester is worse than 3rd trimester is a dirty liar.

>:P

missnacholover · October 2014

When you get confirmation about your birth class and realize it is saturday AND sunday (even though when I signed up it said Satuday, 10/4 from 10-4, NOTHING about sunday) and you are near tears because there goes your weekend. And sitting in a class for 6 hours 2 days in a row sounds like torture.

Jatpa003 · October 2014

You start laughing your ass off when your prenatal yoga instructor starts to explain "thread the needle" (similar to pulling your leg up to cross your legs but while laying on your back) never thought I was going to recover from laughing, then I felt bad and almost started crying... No winning

kstirton · October 2014

You are seriously contemplating sleeping on the couch vs the bed for the remainder of the pregnancy.

and

the pregnancy zombie baby Halloween costumes everyone keeps pointing out to you with the arms of the baby poking out and the belly's all bloody actually make you queasy b/c it's a little too close for comfort!

BrittG13 · October 2014

When your husband makes an off hand remark about how 'you have that waddle down pat!' and you can't decide whether to cry or slap him

mander82 · October 2014

You are nice and comfy in bed with the AC blasting, only to look over and see DH with the comforter pulled up over his head cause he is freezing.

smboswell1 · October 2014

1. You don't close doors anymore because your belly gets in the way.

2. Unloading groceries makes you feel like you just got done running a half marathon.

3. Can't do your own laundry because you can't bend down to get it out of the washer.

4. sitting in low chairs is not an option anymore.

cindyNmark2010 · October 2014

When you can hold it for 3-4 hours during the day but once sleep time hits, your bladder says "nope...you're going to be up peeing a little tiny trickle....EVERY. DAMN. HOUR."

::insert bladder's evil laugh::

DoubleUp8 · October 2014

1.You have trouble exiting bathroom stalls.

2. People start telling you how big you are and how the baby will be a big boy. (No idiot, I'm actually measuring right on track)

3. The act of having to get up and scoop the ice cream factors into your decision of whether or not you are going to have ice cream.

absolutelymaybe · October 2014

- When someone asks you if that was a burp, hiccup or throw up, the answer is "yes."

- If you can't see it or reach it, it either doesn't exist or can't be that important.

- (For those of us having lovely 3rd tri MS) Trying to bend over a toilet with a big belly in the way makes you miss the early months of morning sickness.

- You've started avoiding people just so you don't have to answer the question "When are you due?" for the millionth time.

fyreandblood · October 2014

Going to crowded public places requires thought and planning. How will i avoid crazy assholes with carts who dgaf about preg women? How will i get out of the car if someone parked too close? What if someone hits my stomach with their purse, is assault worth it?

Maybeyesmaybeno · October 2014

You're reading the "You Know You're 8 Months Pregnant When" thread and you laugh so hard you pee a little.

Heads off to the bathroom for yet another panty liner...

^Happened last night; decided it wasn't worth the effort.

1. When you start unashamedly asking your students to pick up things for you in lab (and your toddler to do it at home).

2. When you literally just pulled your pants up after finishing peeing and you have to pee again.

3. When you may as well fly across the street to get the mail, because that's about as likely to happen as walking over there.

tj2990 · October 2014

When you just go to bed instead of taking a shower at the end of the day because you're just too tired

fyreandblood · October 2014

I have another one!

When you feel like your stomach is a chasm and you're a trashcan because of all the bad food you're stuffing in your face.

I'm eating chips out of the bag and I CANT STOPPPPP

Ineedmorecoffee · October 2014

You go all day with a stain on your shirt, but didn't see it till you got home because it was UNDER the belly! This happens so often!

Ineedmorecoffee · October 2014

You're starving to death, but can't finish the normal sized dinner you just spent forever making because your stomach is too small to hold normal amounts of food! Cue the tears.

howin23 · October 2014

...when your fingers are so swollen that you have trouble brushing your teeth or washing your hair...let alone writing thank you notes for shower gifts.

...when your husband has to use two hands to pull you up and out of his sports car.

...when you scoff at the woman who took the stork parking b/c she looks only about 5 months.

mommymeg143 · October 2014

When you have to text your DH to come help you get out of the bathtub because you can't get back up.

I love this thread!!

Jan1214 · October 2014

When you are relieved to see a bathroom stall with a high toilet and handle for pulling yourself up.

sweetbabyrahe · October 2014

When DH is constantly asking if you are okay due to all your moans, groans, burps, sighs, etc.

When you ask your 3 year old to help pull you up from the couch.

meeshybee · October 2014

-When you take any excuse not to wear pants.

-You have to mentally prepare yourself to get out of the chair/bed.

-Maternity shirts either cover your belly OR your chest. Not both. (The ones that cover my huge belly make me feel like I'm about to have a wardrobe malfunction. Problems of the not-well-endowed.)

-Socks... Hahahaha!

-No position is comfortable for more than 30 seconds, but it's even more uncomfortable to move.

mussalynn · October 2014

You stand on your tippy toes to look at something high up and when you come back down, you accidentally place your belly on the counter. Yeesh!

Lol this is how I brush my teeth!! So much more comfortable with belly resting on the counter as opposed to ramming into it...!
