This! I had to do a urine test for my MW appointment this week and totally felt like I had a full bladder, went to pee in the cup and got just dribbles. So embarrassing. Had to ask for a new cup at the end of my appointment to do the test.

You get into the car for a twenty minute car ride to a seven year old birthday party in a perfectly fine, even GOOD mood. Halfway through said car ride you decide you hate everything and everyone you've ever met in your life. For no reason.

Replace "seven year old's birthday party" with "work" and you have the story of my life.

You can go 5 hours with nothing to eat, and the moment you give in to your desire for comfort and lay down flat, you're able to burp the state song and tasting the burritos you ate for dinner three weeks ago.
Leaning over and vomiting? Please let it happen, maybe I'd puke out some of this stomach acid!

When you find yourself too tired at night to do your hypnobabies practice....which consists of laying in bed with your eyes closed.

hiketheworld · October 2014

When everyone- family, friends, strangers- suddenly decides it's acceptable to ask you how much weight you've gained.

mander82 · October 2014

When you have so many pillows on your bed, it takes longer to change the pillowcases than the sheets.

ssstephanie214 · October 2014

^^ @mander82 such a good one.

When you go to pee in the middle of the night but forget to pull down your underwear, a winning combination of no sleep ever and pregnancy brain.

smboswell1 · October 2014

When you no longer get offended when people say you are about to pop. Like oh shit.... This baby could actually come at any time!

Yes.
I've started only hearing "but you're so tiny!" despite having gained damn near forty pounds (with a month to go). No complaints, I suppose; I just tell them she must be made of lead.
Hmm... considering her razor talons on my cervix, perhaps I should start telling people it's adamantium instead of lead?

-When you catch your reflection in a window while you're walking outside and you laugh hysterically because THAT'S how big I look? (I avoid full length mirrors.)

-When you want DH to help you clean, but don't think you should have to ask him to take the trash out AGAIN, so you walk in his general vicinity, sighing loudly, when he doesn't look up from the video game and offer to help.

-When you want to hurt everyone who comments on how big the baby is going to be, or how much time you have left for being so big. (We're all measuring right on track, thank you very much.)

You started to consider the appropriateness of wearing your "nice yoga pants" to work.
When you are excited that a pair of said yoga pants is clean and free of cat hair so you can look presentable at a meeting. Bonus points if one of three Liz Lange shirts that still fit is also clean. When, on your fifth pee break of the night, you run out of toilet paper and, rather than throw away the empty tube, toss it lackadaisically onto the ground for DH to pick up when he gets up.

Wait, your DH would pick that up?

When you can't even lotion your own feet! I'm a big lotioner!

He better sleep with one eye open, that's not the kind of information you withold from someone you supposedly love.

Love cookout!! We had one in my college town!

RIGHT?!?!? Plus, MH hates the greasy feeling of my foot cream, so he won't do it for me!

missnacholover · October 2014

When you want to literally punch people in the face for asking you if your "due date" has changed because you may be induced early.

MY DUE DATE REMAINS THE SAME, PEOPLE.

mander82 · October 2014

When grocery shopping you decide it's a good idea to buy 2-3 of all pantry/cleaner items on the list to "stock up" for when baby is here.

This pretty much pisses me off lol. I'll be waiting for that great- long- satisfying pee and it's a few trickles! And then when I don't think I have a lot of urine, it's never ending! I'm so shocked I haven't pee'd on myself lol. The trickle pee makes my bladder hurt worse than when I have Niagara Falls in me!

You mean you haven't peed on yourself yet???

owenselise · October 2014

I considering sleeping on toilet.... I'm not the only one tired of getting up every 10 min... so are my dogs. They stay with me now for 2 trips then they stay with my hubby on the couch (I freeze him out.)
Every action makes me out of breath. reaching for drink on coffee table... after standing up I need to sit right back down to catch my breath.
I long to be comfy again during moving, sitting, standing and laying down.

Jpinky9 · October 2014

When laying in bed it's so hot! I am in a t-shirt and undies on top of the blankets, sweating. DH is under the blankets in a hoodie!! It's so hot! And we are in Canada where it's no longer hot outside!

silverwings72 · October 2014

When left over baby shower cake is an acceptable dinner.

sylarpaige · October 2014

You're hot too?! If I could I would freeze everyone out

sylarpaige · October 2014

Reading all of these makes me feel so much better about myself sometimes I feel no one understands that .... I pee myself when I sneeze... " why didn't u go before you left home?" Or that I'm sweating on my arms my neck my hair line and I'm just sitting and their all " why are you so hot its nice out" ugh ppl! And I'm tired I'm gonna go take a nap and then they say " what you didn't sleep last night? I mean seriously

MissN06 · October 2014

When your belly becomes a dust pan and seems to catch anything and everything around. Did some crafting and DH just dusted a bunch of thread and fabric scraps off my belly. I didn't even see them

I've been doing this with everything! My Target trips have gotten expensive! But it's nice to be stocked up on so much stuff.

I had trouble getting the pantry doors closed today. I may be stock piling too...

------

It was an experiment. And a successful one- he did pick it up!! Also I should clarify that the trash can was across the room, not next to the toilet.

I thought of another one. When, after a sneeze, if you say "DAMMIT!!," your DH immediately responds with "Did you pee yourself again?"

erinwithtwins · October 2014

When your underwear slowly starts to rip and you just don't care as long as it still stays up. Then you feel like the Incredible Hulk in slow motion as they slowly rip more and more. I keep washing them. Putting them back in the drawer and wearing them

krgriffin26 · October 2014

when you can't decide if it's pee, discharge, leakage or just plain ole' vag sweat

I'm more like - please, anytime now! (don't listen to me baby, stay in there at least 2 more weeks!)

You know you're 8 months pregnant when... your boss tells you that she was worried over the weekend about you.

mander82 · October 2014

When the look on your face constantly has people asking if you are ok.

AnnieRoo13 · October 2014

When you show up to work everyday and your co-worker says "no baby yet?" And she's serious.

When you murder your husband with your ice cream spoon for saying this.

Caraluvs · October 2014

When you are brushing your teeth, and the spit hits your belly instead of the sink. Another shirt bites the dust.

NunyaBennis · October 2014

Your husband looks at you sympathetically at the end of the day and says, "this is gonna be a really long month isn't it?"

You drop something on the floor and it becomes unimportant

I see my SO once a week. I started leaving things on the floor assuming my husband would understand I couldn't pick it up. 3 weeks later he finally asks why can't you just pick up after yourself. I proceeded to demonstrate why I couldn't. He ended up pulling me up off the floor. He know cleans the house

meeshybee · October 2014

You debate going back to bed when you have to get up in an hour, because that's about the most you can sleep at one time anyway.

lizgrace03 · October 2014

You pull back the covers to get into bed only to find a several-day-old Tums tucked between the sheets.

mander82 · October 2014

when your husband starts telling you alternative ways to get ahold of him while he is at work.

MrsTuna08 · October 2014

DH is no longer surprised and/or worried to find you crawling on all fours on the floor. He just calmly asks "Are you ok? Did you get stuck and need help up or are you just trying to get her out of your ribs so you can breathe?"
