Share your awkward pregnancy-related moments.

I'll definitely start...

That awkward moment when you start uncontrollably crying in the middle of recording a marketing video for work on a completely non-emotional topic...

    When your husband asks what's wrong and you break down crying saying you just wish you felt like crap and had morning sickness. 

    For the record, I am totally laughing at myself!  I am "sad" I feel pretty great this far compared to last time.

    When you start crying in the car for literally no reason at all. Then 2 seconds later laughing. I swear DH thinks I'm crazy. He actually looked up the symptoms just to be sure. :-|

    Also my situation. I'm drinking water like crazy but I'm still bloated. Is this a temporary thing or here to stay?

    Yes, definitely the crying!  I volunteer at an aquarium and we just released a rehabilitated sea turtle.  I was watching the video of her release in the car with my husband and started bawling!  He just started laughing at me and then really made fun of me when I started laughing in the middle of my crying because I was laughing at the ridiculousness of my crying over the video..LOL

    I'm a total cry baby, pregnant or not, but the other day I was crying because someone on a baking competition on TV was crying because she did badly. I cannot not cry when people on TV cry. I don't always cry when it's fiction (an actor crying) but when it's reality TV...oh man.  :((

    Yep, right there with you all. I have a lot of bloating so I've broken out the loose tops to try to hide this pregnancy at work a little longer. Last time, when the bloat cooled down around 11 weeks, I started to show with a little round baby bump a few weeks later. By the time my water broke at 39 weeks I felt like a house because I'm short and was all belly. Looking at pictures, I really don't know how I didn't just tip forward.
    There is another women pregnant at my school this year who is tall and thin. She is nearly 10 weeks ahead of me and barely showing. I'm concerned that I'm going to look as pregnant as she is within a few months. I'm bracing myself for the comments from random students like, "Are you growing a toddler in there?" or "Wait, you have how much longer?" or "Are you sure it's not twins?"

    When your only office-mate's due date is 4 months before yours, and you just KNOW she's caught on to your morning sickness... And you also know this room is going to be crazy town for the next four months.

    ....when you run out of the grocery store and puke in the parking lot because you can't stand the smell of bread. That happened with my last pregnancy but fully expecting to get a lot of MS with this one as well, especially since I already got sick yesterday :-&

    About to cry because the cat was on the counter for the umpteenth time this week and I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and threw him outside. He was all, "Maaaawwwwrrr!" and now I'm worried I hurt him with my nails.

    THIS IS SO DUMB.

    When your co-worker texts that she is in labor. And your other co-worker says to me "Maybe you are next". Yeah, pretty sure she knows.

    I scruffed my senior foster cat the other day in hormonal anger too. I felt terrible. He forgave me.

    When you turn your car off without putting it in park and can't figure out why your keys won't come out... DH just stared at me confused until I figured out what I did.

    Pregnancy brain is really going to kick my butt this time around.

    Lol! I did that last pregnancy! I had my foot on the brake still, so I just didn't realize it and DH just smiled and shook his head.

    Also the awkward moment when you are in the liquor store with your husband, they are giving out tasters and you say you don't drink and they ask if you gave it up for a good reason or a bad reason...

    Its too early to say anything. Stop with the interogation!

    ...you are orienting the new sub nurse for the district and totally break down sobbing when she asks if she will have to cover half-days for doctor's appointments and wail "I'm pregnant so yeah!"

    And, no, I haven't told my principal or nurse leader and yes this sub nurse also happens to be a parent of one of my students. So awkward!

    You're watching a movie with your husband and you literally cry through 90% of it. I'm physically exhausted from crying that much!

    He's asleep ontop of me right now so I think it's safe to say he still loves me. :)
