I sneezed on a guy who cut me off on the train, last night after work, just so he could get the last seat. Full-blown, pollen induced sneeze and I didn't even try to cover up. Enjoy, jerk.

I live in the city and take the bus to work every day. I don't look super pregnant yet, but there are lots of women who get on who are clearly very pregnant, and you'd be surprised how many people won't give up their seats. It makes my blood boil! Especially now that I know what it feels like to be pregnant and feel weighed down by a heavy belly.
@devonsd315 EXACTLY!!! But he sat down and went straight on his phone and didn't even look up at me (until I sneezed on him). All the people around him were on their phones too, nobody looked up once! Very infuriating but good thing my commute wasn't too long from there.

I've always thought that expectant mother parking spaces were a little silly. Until I had to park my car yesterday when it was 95 degrees outside further than where I usually do. I think pregnant women should be issued handicap placards at their doctor's office starting around 5 months.
I ate ramen noodles for lunch today - oops, is that processed and high in all things unnatural? Unrelated - with my first pregnancy, I had pimples all over my face. This pregnancy, they are all over ... my butt. It seriously sucks.
So I used to love holding babies and playing with little kids, and now...all I can think is that I want to hold my baby and play with my kid. Sure, your baby is cute. But mine's gonna be so much cuter. <:-P
Apparently I've been watching too much Investigation Discovery. I watch all these stories about murderers and it dawns on me that they had mothers, too. And then I'm like, "Oh shit, what if my kid grows up to kill hookers or stabs me in my sleep, too?"

In some parts of Japan, your OB gives you a special pregnancy pin to wear to identify yourself as an expecting mother in public so if you're on the bus or the subway, people will see it on your shirt and know to give you their seat.

Haha! I watch ID alllllll the time. I'm addicted to it. It's going to be hard not to be the super paranoid parent!

I love the pin idea and think we should implement in the US! You should be able to go to the front of any line too! What else could we do with this power!!!??
I've started watching this show "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant" and "A Baby Story"...I watched this show religiously when I was pregnant with my first and my midwife scolded me for doing so "STOP WATCHING THAT CRAZINESS!!" I secretly get caught up in it and can't stop watching it, I find it fascinating....how did you not know you were pregnant?!?!? :-/
DH called to chat for a few minutes while he was taking his lunch break. I lied and told him that I was really busy cleaning the house and washing clothes so I had to go, when I really wanted to get back to watching Judge Judy reruns and eat brownies. :?

I stopped watching all those shows when I was pregnant the first time. I used to love them. Now I can't even fathom the heart ache. Ugh!

MAN I wish NYC would give those out! People are beyond rude to pregnant women on the subways/buses here. I'm not super pregnant looking yet either but when I wear a tight shirt my belly is rounded so it could be a little noticeable. Anyway, I don't normally make a big deal out of not getting a seat but one day I was literally about to get a seat when this woman basically swooped in and knocked me out of the way. I spit at her "I'M PREGNANT DO YOU THINK I CAN SIT?" She looked at me, mumbled sorry and got up. JEEZ.

This!!!! I soooooooo agree! I always want to tap people on the should and be like "Listen... I know you were here first... But I'm pregnant and really have to pee so can I just cut in front of this line, here?"

I always think about this with toddlers especially in the potty training phase. There's like 1 minute before my kid pees his pants can we please cut to avoid that mess for everyone please?? Hardly people offer but I always try to especially when I see a kid doing an obvious pee pee dance cause I've been there way too often

I watch ID all the time too!! That and the cooking channels. My husband says he's convinced I'm getting ideas for the perfect murder in case I want to get rid of him one day.

See I'm the opposite. I'm pregnant not disabled. I never used the space once with DD.

Yea I'm not actually serious. Just expressing my discomfort with 95 degree weather that is giving me a stitch in my side if I walk too long outside. I can only imagine it being much worse when it's August and I'm 8 months pregnant. Dear lord. I will use an expectant mother spot in that case.
My appetite is like, zero today. I brought beautiful leftovers from last night's dinner: bbq chicken, macaroni salad and grilled vegetables. I can't stomach any of it and only really want this king size bag of reese's mini cups I just bought on a whim at walgreen's...and I think I'm going to eat them
Before I was pregnant I was afraid of being one of those "I didn't know I was pregnant" chick. Thankfully that didn't happen.
However, now that I've done my pediatric rotation In nursing school, my biggest fear is my baby having an imperforate anus (means being born without an anus Google if you dare.) I told my partner forget checking for ten fingers and ten toes, make sure the kid has an anus first.
Second confession...I've eaten everything but one cup of Blood Orange Fage yogurt....and I'm still hungry. I just polished off my salad and feel like the Hulk about to tear down my office from hunger.
I really hate that everything is a big deal when you're pregnant. At my anatomy scan Wednesday the nurse told me my vitamin d levels were low (from a urine test a month ago) and I need to buy vitamins. I'm sorry but I don't make much money and don't want to waste it on a vitamin I can get for free laying in the sun (which I was obviously tan when I was there). I haven't taken a damn prenatal since first tri, they make me puke. All of them. I just make up for it with my diet. Super heavy in fruits, veggies and salmon
I have only gained 8 pounds but it seriously feels like a million. I don't even want to look at myself in the mirror!!!!!!!! When will my "adorable round belly" appear?!?!?!
I'm about to walk into a sushi restaurant for the first time as a visibly pregnant person and I'm kinda nervous about it. But by golly, I'm gonna get me a tempura roll!
I eat a spoonful of cream cheese frosting right out of the jar every day. In college I survived tests, studying, and finals with frosting and animal crackers. No shame in my game.
I'm sure I'll get flamed, but I am going for it. (I ate some raw, red meat in my salad today, a la Rosemary's Baby, so I am feeling brave.)
A Sip-n-See sounds ridiculous. Wanna have a party and get drunk and show off your baby? Cool, do it. Invite me, I'll show up. Calling it a damn 'Sip-n-See' sounds beyond immature. I either think of a 'Speak-n-Spell' (real thing) or a 'Sip-n-See' baby doll (fake 80s baby doll I made up in my own head that pees after you give her a sippy cup).

I agree. I see no issue with inviting friends to drop by and meet the baby and have a glass of wine (or 3, because you know mommy missed her wine!). But does it really need a cutesy name?
Confession: my pregnancy brain is so bad. I went to Publix to buy some cucumbers for a recipe yesterday. I spent $70 before I got out of there. Got in my car...didn't get one damn cucumber! I don't know how I'm going to make it through these summer classes.
I indirectly used the pregnancy card today at work. They've been giving me so much to do lately I semi jokingly said please don't give me any more work or I will literally start crying. I had a pretty easy day after that. I'm going to threaten to cry more often.
Three and a half weeks ago my doctor told me I have gained too much weight so far with my pregnancy. I have done such a good job keeping it at bay this whole time until the last three days ... I've had half a pizza, and 2/3rds a bag of Oreos in the last two days :-O time to have green smoothies, scrambled eggs and salads for the next four days before I see her again :-SS
I just ate three brownies for breakfast and my entire weekend plan revolves around watching all of the Harry Potter movies on the ABC Family marathon. No physical activity. No cleaning. Nothing. Just Hogwarts. Like a true adult.

I'm a nurse too and used to work at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. We see the sickest of the sick. I've been thinking that exact thing! Forget ten finger ten toes, just pray baby has two working kidneys and four heart chambers! That's what I was looking at my anatomy scan, I was able to breath after I saw those chambers working...
The "fake" sip n see baby mentioned earlier.... It WAS a real 80s doll! I think it was called Baby Alive. Totally had it, came with a bottle and weird food packets that you mixed water with to turn into baby food. You put in to Baby Alive and voila! A dirty diaper!!!! I loved it! But how gross must the inside of that doll been??
