Problems only preggos understand

I just discovered I'm to the point in my pregnancy where painting my toenails is like an Olympic event. I'm winded and sweaty from the effort.

2) Also, I'm always a bit surprised when I put on clothes that used to be baggy (i.e. old t-shirts or dolman sweaters), and they're suddenly tight. I told my husband yesterday that I'm going to have to start borrowing his clothes to work out.
3) I've been fortunate to have a pretty easy pregnancy, no morning sickness or major symptoms, however now at 23 weeks, I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Finding a good sleeping position is becoming challenging, and I've brought a small pillow for my work chair so my back doesn't hurt so much. All I can think is that I've got 17 more weeks of this, it's hard to fathom how uncomfortable I'll be as I expand!
2) I have had 5 children but it seems like I am more nervous about labor and delivery this time than ever before!!!!
3) My obsessive neat streak is in over drive and so is my anxiety
4) I feel like a manatee or beached whale already! I can no longer get comfortable!
5) It hurts to walk as I feel like I have a bowling ball in between my legs!
6) I still have many food aversions and feel like I need to throw up after every meal! Yay!
2. You NEED that chocolate bar even though you just finished eating one 10mins ago. Yes, I know it's 3am but it's absolutely necessary.
3. Rolling over in bed requires preparation.
4. Watching paint dry makes you cry, then angry, then so happy you could cry again.
Again TMI but shaving... anywhere is difficult.
Wearing slip on shoes because bending over is a sport in itself.
The comfort of no bra and sweat pants is even more exhilarating than ever lol
2. I trimmed my toe nails for the last time last week. I think I'll be splurging on pedicures from now until birth.
3. Putting on socks or pants is even turning into an Olympic event. DH just laughs at me when I'm struggling.
4. Sleep just doesn't happen. If I ever get comfortable, it's right when it's time to get up to pee again.
5. I swear I pee hourly. And half the time my bladder is mostly empty.
Yes, just like other people it's blindly shaving down there.
2) Trying for so very long to find the best sleeping position that will at least enable you to fall asleep for a little while. The sadness when you're unable to find it and begin to wonder how you're going to survive on 1 hour of sleep each night until May.
3) Loving your DH so much, but wanting to kill him at the same time because while you're struggling to find said sleep he is snoring LOUDLY. Realizing killing him or seriously injuring him wouldn't be ideal because who wants to be pregnant in prison?
4) Getting a craving for a certain food and then eating it, but feeling too full even if you've not ate your weight in it like you wanted to. I'm talking about you Chinese Food!!!
Having to wait for DH to help me off of the couch (our cushions are super soft and I sink into them) or if he's not around then having to struggle for at least 5 minutes to get up.
I was unloading the dishwasher and when putting things into cabinets my stomach has started to work against me here and its getting harder to get close enough to the cabinet to put things away. This caused minor issues with my tender emotional state, but I recovered quickly.
Next thing that followed is I was rinsing dishes and putting them into the dishwasher and got water ALL over my stomach. This isn't something to commonly occur, but has been happening often since I got pregnant. I broke down. I couldn't get close enough to the sink in my opinion which caused water to go not only all over my stomach but also all over the floor, lol.
I really did cry a lot and went and yelled at DH for never helping out with dishes. Poor guy.
2) At least a couple of meltdowns that have no cause
3) I have never appreciated the pause button more in my life. Going out to see movies is impossible because I can't get comfortable in those damn theater seats and I have to pee like three times during one film
1. Not sure how much longer socks and I will be friends, sadly can't wear sandals to work. Pout.
2. Anything below the belly is, what it is. Try to shave but that's going to be more sketchy lol
3. I wonder everytime I have to pee in the cup at the doctors office, that it will turn into a fiasco. I know it will get worse, why has a device not been invented for this situation ??
Then for the record I wasn't talking to you. :P
2. Not being able to see my lady parts.
Same for me on the socks, they suck.
Shaving blind.
I spill my lunch on my shirt almost everyday!
2. Having loads of baby preparation plans for the weekend and not feeling up to anything, so feeling more behind as the weekend passes.
3. Socks really are the devil.
4. Can still shave the front of lady forest (is that stuff growing faster??) but getting between takes a contortionist level of skill.
5. Being so tender hearted that I weep at everything, even when I'm happy. I look like...no, I AM a lunatic.
6. Getting and giving into the "fuck-its" a lot more.
Oh god, I'm sure there's more
2. Getting angry at your 5 year old for not a very good reason and then crying bc you feel bad that you made her feel bad.
3. Wanting to wear a sign at work that says"yes I know I'm pregnant and my belly is getting bigger, comments not needed"
4. Even my "granny" underwear are getting too small

Shaving down there or my legs is a dreaded event
My clothes are getting tighter by the day, even some of the maternity clothes i bought earlier! *sniff*
And oh god how i miss sleeping on my belly!
2) Coming to the realization that turning to the side to squeeze through tight spaces really doesn't work anymore. If anything I have just made the problem worse.
2. I can't get comfortable regardless of the position. Side, side/stomach etc. And it drives me completely insane.
3. I'm sick and tired of having a craving, then once I start eating it, I don't want it anymore. -_-
It's torture. Lol
1. All my clothes don't fit, I say I will go shopping. But every time I go, I get something for the baby! Leggings and yoga pants are my best friends, except for the ones I ripped!
2. I eat so much, more then ever! I eat as healthy as can be, but my cravings are so bad, I always want pasta or bread!
3. My emotions are through the roof! I'm extremely happy, or sad or anxious. I thought PMS was bad!
4. During my first trimester I slept like a baby. Now I can never get to sleep. Also it's so hard to get comfortable.
5. I still have not gotten used to not being able to move around as quickly as I used to. I'm always on my feet at work, so it's so difficult getting tired after hour two!
6. Also does anyone feel so forgetful??? A hundred times out of the day, I'm asking myself, what am I doing??
7. Lastly, I'm so anxious to see my baby girl! I just get too excited thinking about her being here with me! My husband says to calm down, but I just can't wait.
Thankyou all for letting my vent!!!
When I drop something at home and my husband is around he will just laugh at me and then help me. Never helps me without laughing first though.
I have to remind people at work that I have new awkward body dimensions and I can't fit through tight spaces anymore. I work in a restaurant and thankfully people are nice to me when I unintentionally rub my belly across their upper back when handing out food. It's so strange and awkward and new and uncomfortable!
Also, trying to eat at any normal height table?! Cani pleeease just have a table that matches height with my rib cage or put my dinner on my belly??
1 on earth, 2 in heaven watching over us.
Unnecessary, desu ne?
1. Seems shaving is the most common issue. Veet for my legs, but elsewhere is still trouble.
2. Cravings that cause heartburn. Every. Dang. Time.
3. Walking anywhere on icy sidewalks becomes a terrifying nightmare.
4. Speaking of nightmare, these freakishly real dreams are terrible when they're nightmares!
And also being more than disgustingly insensitive to anyone who has suffered a loss or fertility problems. I'm sure the woman on the TTTC boards would LOVE to have these ridiculous problems.
And FYI, your board is a hot topic right now, specifically because of asinine threads like this.
