Why do you deserve a Prego Olympic medal

strickland8052 · March 2016

I feel like I deserve some kind of pregnancy Olympic medal for not puking in my car today. I was stuck in 45 minutes of slow moving traffic on the interstate while wanting nothing more but to puke in a clean bathroom. I somehow made it home (and the wave of nausea passed). Go me!

Why do you deserve a Prego Olympic medal?

cd92007 · March 2016

I was just thinking earlier today how much work it takes to act like nothings wrong at work when in reality I feel so shitty. I think a lot of us on this board deserve a Prego Olympic medal for that. (on a side note.. I've been scheduling all my meetings for right after lunch.. pretty much the only time I feel decent ha!)

joyful08 · March 2016

I woke up early to pack my husbands lunch

Because I still go out of my way to try to be intimate with SO as closely to our 'normal' frequency as possible regardless of the fact that the majority of the time I really do not feel like it at first and I get motion sickness.

**note**
He has not been asking me for or pressuring me into sex. I do it just because.

DH texted me a link to an article about Cadbury creme egg McFlurries. They are only available in Australia. I did not reach out over the phone lines and strangle him.

What!!! Cadbury creme egg McFlurries! I need this!!

CopperBoom86 · March 2016

Because I've somehow managed to still exercise at least 5 days a week every week since I got KU. It's getting tougher and tougher every week. I'm getting winded much easier and I'm tired as shit, but for now, I'm powering through!

nlane0723 · March 2016

I'm working 50-60+ hours a week, managing a household, haven't sent my two year old to boarding school, and I'm successfully managing a twin pregnancy. Gold stars for everyone.

UponAStar16 · March 2016

I have pretty impressive endurance in the sport of sleeping...got 10 hours last night and I could have easily pushed on for a few more hours

Omg! Let's go to Australia!!

_darth · March 2016

Projectile vomiting. Distance, speed, frequency, AND style, with a solid silver medal in hiding the evidence.

kmalls · March 2016

I own a dog walking company, and the employee that does the majority of the walks just blew out her knee. So I'm on my own right now, doing between 6 and 8 walks a day plus two group hikes (plus the walks my own dogs need). I also have a 1 year old that's just getting through a sleep regression that limited me to about 3-6 hours a sleep at night. Plus first tri. I deserve a fucking gold medal for getting out of bed every morning

Jen1051 · March 2016

@simcal18 we have the Cadbury creme egg mcflurries here in Canada! If you aren't too far from the border, it would be worth a visit

F47 · March 2016

Energetic two year old. Husband out of town. I had the flu last week and I'm STILL coughing up a storm. All-day nausea. Exhaustion. Work. And, oh yeah, hiding all of these symptoms at work.

kaimee072712 · March 2016

I ran a F@&$!%# half marathon this past Saturday! Not only did it start at the buttcrack of dawn but it was on a trail, not groomed, BLM land, in the middle of the damn desert. (I signed up and trained long before I was KTFU).

I did did get a metal, and 3 days worth of body aches.

mrszoess · March 2016

because I stopped trying to hide the bloat.

smmatt08 · March 2016

I deserve a medal because I didn't immediately put on pants and run out of the house to get a mcflurry after you all are talking about them!

ByeBabyBunting · March 2016

Did not vomit on the new employees at their orientation today. Good job me!

MRSCORKER · March 2016

Three different women hit on my husband today and I did not cut a bitch. Lol. Seriously though, he's pretty handsome, I get it

_darth · March 2016

Also, not bitch slapping people who spell laser with a zed, even though I really really wanted to. Damn those pesky pregnancy cravings!

Michi1382 · March 2016

My 11 month old had a hard time going to sleep tonight and fought the good fight for an hour and half before passing out. I didn't lose my patience not even once. Phew.

ladyshark311 · March 2016

Working from home 8-5 while managing the insane schedules of six kids. Two go to tutoring on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at 8:00. Another goes after school until 5:00 every Wednesday and Thursday. My high schooler has to be driven to her bus stop every single morning at 6:00 am (she goes to a performing arts HS no buses by us) and I do all of this while trying not to dry heave. My daughter currently has rehearsals after school so three days a week I pick her up at one location for 5:15 and two days at another location for 2:30. I spend my life in my minivan! Lol Then the daily HW, dinner, showers, bedtime. One would think I could pass out but nope I'm up all night with insomnia just to do it all over again.

BUT THEY'RE IN CANADA TOO.
(I have a friend who is there right now and has been posting all about them on fb)

strickland8052 · March 2016

Good job, ladies! I'm inspired now.... And wishing I lived close to Canada!

SuperNerd42 · March 2016

I want a medal too! Or at least a gold star.
Mine for keeping up with the four year old, maintaining two accelerated classes, and surviving a very physically demanding job with no time off and not giving up any duties (yet). And no naps! All on a fraction of the caffeine I used to live on.

mothernorth · March 2016

Now I just need to know, anybody have any idea what happened to the Cadbury caramel eggs?? Talking about the cream eggs got me stewing on it.

depineta · March 2016

For putting on nylons today so I can look somewhat professional at a fancy work lunch. Getting them on was probably the best workout I've had in weeks.

I am a 6 hour drive away from Montreal. This plan does not seem entirely unreasonable to me. Never mind that I've got an appointment with my personal trainer tonight and my first OB/midwife appointment (and thus first OB/midwife weigh-in) on Monday . . .

AliciaVeronica · March 2016

I feel like I deserve a prego mommy medal for baking 8 dozen cake balls last night while my almost 8 month old crawled all over and drove me NUTTS lol ... but I got it done!! I have an event planning and dessert display company so I am trying to get all the baking done for a job tomorrow night. Exhausted is not the word for how I feel today.

PrimRoseMama · March 2016

Managing some therapy schedules for my 4 and 2 year old. I give myself permission to express that I am not less of a mother because my kids are playing on their Ipad or watching Mickey more lately as I puke or lay on the couch feeling like death warmed over. I still do things with them on good days and weekends, but lately just making it through the day I think I deserve the Good Mom Award.

I give myself permission that I am not less of a wife because I cannot tolerate sexual intercourse right now. I literally cannot physically do it. My cervix spots, I cramp horribly and I throw up when we try. I give myself permission and grace that it is alright and I still deserve the Good Wife Award because I am more to my husband than sex. We support each other through major medical situations that can impact our sex lives.

I give myself permission to be gentle with myself during this time because I am not less because I need more time to recuperate. The Golden Preggo Award goes to anyone who is still trying and keeps trying throughout their pregnancy. To those that recognize their boundaries and don't beat themselves up for it.

Be gentle with yourselves!

That's awesome! I have a half on April 24th, pretty excited. I think I should be 16 weeks which is doable.

Michi1382 · March 2016

@OrangeEv That's exciting! Please let us know how your half goes!

gatorMom2014 · March 2016

The neighbor kid ran over my 1.5 yr old with his bike last night, and I did not physically harm him. (My kid bled from his mouth, but was happy and acting fine within 5 minutes).

mpunger · March 2016

Still dragging my butt out of bed in the mornings to do my 1.5 hour workout everyday!

kaimee072712 · March 2016

@OrangeEv yeah!!! I'm excited for you. Good luck! It's so satisfying!! And to top it off doing prego!!

kennelchick · March 2016

Working a 12 hours shift in an intensive care unit on the day my morning (all freaking day) sickness was so bad I vomited all day. Couldn't keep water down, and still cared for my critically ill patients.

mrszoess · March 2016

worked 12 hours with a client driving almost 200 miles. so tired.

annabenanna · March 2016

Because today I woke up, made breakfast (without gagging), had coffee (and actually enjoyed it!)---AND put on makeup, and did my hair too!

I've felt so raggedy the past few weeks.... but not today. Today I feel awesome!
