Because I'm pregnant...

lilbabybrown · May 2016

Went downtown last night to have dinner with my DH & DS. At a crosswalk that was up ahead, two women stood FOREVER, until one good samaritan decided to let them cross. I got up to the crosswalk and decided to make good use of my current situation. That's right, I stuck that belly out and BAM! All the cars stopped and let me cross! Kind of funny that when people know you're pregnant, they tend to treat you more like a delicate flower than just another broad on the street. And I'm pretty sure they didn't stop because of my "tree trunk" looking legs!

Got me to thinking - anyone else have any stories where you've recently used your pregnancy as a "crutch"?

I do every once in a while use the pregnancy parking spaces even though I think they are stupid. Sometimes I am just in a hurry...

Does the ungodly amount of takeout I've been eating and not feeling bad about count?

DH told me I shouldn't help with the yard work because there would be a lot of intense manual labor and carrying things involved. I know that really, there's nothing wrong with being active or lifting things while pregnant, but I wasn't about to argue with him about it!

I was about to clean our tub with Clorox powder and my dad happened to come over. He saw me about to start and said to stop because he was going to do it for me. I "shouldn't be inhaling that and cleaning bent over the tub." I didn't argue and was super grateful lol he cleaned the whole bathroom for me

Edited for spelling.

People insist I take their chair everywhere I go. I didn't really like it at first, but with my back starting to hurt now, it's actually kind of awesome.

When there is a long line for the bathroom at a public place, I push my stomach out a little further, so it's more obvious, of course

-- and then I get pushed to the front of the line. It's fabulous.

My husband is doing this kind of stuff, but excessively to the point where I can't do anything around him!

It was great when I was in OB clinicals. I could literally go to the bathroom, get food/drink, sit down any time I wanted and my clinical instructor didn't bat an eye.

I've noticed that everyone gives me their seat and SO many people are not just holding doors open for me but rushing in front of me and holding them for quite a while until I actually get to the door! Lol

Weve got six kids in our house and I'm constantly getting "reprimanded" about things, some days it's annoying because I know will complete the task better than they will but most days it's kind of nice! My teenagers are the best about it, Mom you can't take the trash out! Mom you get winded too much stop bending over to do laundry! Mom you shouldn't be cleaning my shower stall with bleach on your hands and knees! I gladly hand over the sponges and cleaning supplies!

Andplusalso I maaaay just take advantage of the "I'm exhausted" thing so I can take extra naps with zero guilt

I love not feeling like I need to use my core, suck in my belly and be nice and straight anymore. I just let it all loose and relaxed all the time.
