You know you're pregnant when...

ladysaceb · October 2016

Can we do this!?

I'll start.
You know you are pregnant when you are craving ice due to low iron, but than need to take tums to fight the heartburn that the ice gives you.

SquirrelGiggles83 · October 2016

When you feel the need to sneeze, and have to worry about the need to pee at the same time.

therealfrizzle · October 2016

When you're wide awake at 11pm...2am...4am...6am...but out for the count at 10am.

christac1010 · October 2016

When you drop a potato chip and just call the dog over to eat it, because you can't pick it up. (Or if it's not food related, kick it under something else. Hopefully no one at work pulls out my file cabinet under my desk because it's become a graveyard for pens and paper clips.)

gapeachrn · October 2016

When you have to ask your husband to take off your tall fall boots and jeans. The struggle is real and almost not worth it.

newyearsbaby5 · October 2016

Granted we found out we were pregnant in the warmer months, but somehow I made it to 27 weeks without. wearing. pants. Flowey dresses, the stretchiest skirts and shorts, workout clothes, pajamas. Pants were (/are) much too compromising with the unexpected bloat. Not even embarrassed about it--kind of proud of myself.

When you are a teacher and you can't get through a lesson without interruption anymore because your belly is too distracting for the kids.

Student: "Mrs R! Your belly is moving again!! Look everyone!"
*ALL students stop what they are doing to stare at my moving belly*

...getting them back on task after these moments is a real treat!

nolemama24 · October 2016

When you suddenly develop gorilla grip feet to grab things off the floor with your toes so you don't have to bend down........

cabu14 · October 2016

When you're nervous to go to a family gathering because you know people will probably try to touch your belly and you don't want to deal with it.

I'm also on team, the husband has to pick this up off the floor because bending down is just getting too difficult

katesmama0706 · October 2016

Your toddler headbutts your face and you take it personally and cry

canavara · October 2016

When you grunt and grimace getting into bed and struggle to put things laying on the bed away before finally giving up and turning to your SO, defeated, and say, "Can you do something with these TV remotes?"

And he reminds you 5 minutes later, "Remember that time you got pissed off at the TV remotes and were just like 'I can't even' with them?"

LeahNicole · October 2016

@canavara yes, my grunting and groaning is to an ultimate high. I am pretty sure DH tries desperately not to laugh at me everytime.

AlicjaB · October 2016

Haha all of these are awesome, funny and true!!

When you're hungry but can't decide what to eat because honestly, you could eat anything and everything.

Long toes FTW! I've been doing this for a while lol. The problem will be when it's too hard to bring our legs up far enough to get the thing out of our toes lol.

nolemama24 · October 2016

@ceclarlinetlo are you lifting your leg behind you to get what you grabbed with your toes? That's what I'm doing, lol!

Also +1 for grunts. We got a new mattress a few weeks ago and it's very tall. I have to do flutter kicks to get up & out hahaha!

ThePax89 · October 2016

It's 10 am and you've changed your pants twice because you haven't kegal'd in a while.

Teach123 · October 2016

When people keep asking when you're due, and then give you that sympathetic look when you tell them how much longer you have.

MaryNog · October 2016

When you go from "I'm not hungry at all" to "GET OUT OF MY WAY I MUST HAVE FOOD NOW" in 30 seconds. And then after eating you feel crappy because of heartburn.

azwildcat62 · October 2016

When you startle yourself awake worried you may have just peed in your sleep.

I told DH about this experience this morning and he started laughing. I told him he can't laugh cuz it may actually happen one day!

streulim · October 2016

When strangers are approaching you asking when you're due. In the last couple weeks I've had about 5 people ask me when I was due then proceed to say I looked ready any day. I have a minimum of 8 weeks left! They're inducing me at 39 weeks if I don't have him before then.

canavara · October 2016

@Marynog Ugh the phantom hunger! I was making cupcakes for our neighbors earlier and had a stomach ache from all the random sugar after eating random bits of frosting and toppings and told my fiancee, "I am done with sugar for at least 3 days and probably won't want dinner for another 3 or 4 hours." Not even 20 minutes later, I came in the room and told him I was starving and he just was like, "Um yeah I figured you'd be like that..."

shlecks · October 2016

When you are overjoyed after having a huge poop because of constipation.

MaryNog · October 2016

@canavara hahaha that's fantastic! Good thing your fiancée has learned the Rhythms of Pregnant Hunger.

aishmc · October 2016

When your husband gets the privilege of putting on your socks and shoes because feet are far away and hard to reach

hayhay2501 · October 2016

@shlecka ahhahahahah 100% yes.

When you ask your husband to be your water handler because your bump makes reaching onto the table a foot away too much effort. And when you cry in baby gap because baby clothes are soooooo cute.

nolemama24 · October 2016

@shlecka YES 100% TO THIS!!!!!

kayldawn · October 2016

Last night and every other night this week!

momof2girls+? · October 2016

Ashleybrandon1990 · October 2016

@marynog THIS!!!^^

hjmorgan-2 · October 2016

When you force on a small 'pre-pregnancy' shirt and it gets stuck between your boobs and belly....
Because "If it's too tight on top I'll just pull it down to take it off.... oh wait..."
*pregnancy brain*
*cue husband's giggles*

raquel87 · October 2016

When your having an office meeting about cutting down 4th quarter expenses, and your boss brings up the recent increase in toilet paper cost..... and everyone looks at you........Hey when you gotta go you gotta go!!!

canavara · October 2016

When you're part of regular conference calls and an hour into each call someone asks "does anyone have a hard stop at the end of the hour?" and everyone jokes that you probably need a bathroom break and you chime in, "Actualllly.... yes."

colleenkevin · October 2016

You have a cold and your priorities are #1 Get Well #2 Try not to pee when you cough

hjmorgan-2 · October 2016

When your husband keeps asking "Are you sure you can walk that far?" "Don you think you can stay on your feet that long??" "How much water have you had today???"

He's a little extra worried after our first birthing class.... Lol :P

streulim · October 2016

When the cashier at Target says "You look really uncomfortable." First of all I don't know you and second I wasn't uncomfortable until you said that. Then the conversation made me uncomfortable. I guess par for the course in the third trimester...

newyearsbaby5 · November 2016

You spend one day freaking out in your head when your baby seems to move a little less than normal, but then you can't focus or concentrate the next day when he is moving nonstop and simultaneously crushing your rib cage and bladder. The grass is always greener.

AlabamaRedhead · November 2016

When every person you meet asks "How much longer?" Every. Damn. Person.

The_A_Team · November 2016

When you bump into furniture, unaccustomed to the space your growing belly takes up.

This happened to me the other night. And than random stranger follows up with, "That much longer still! You are quite large."

Teach123 · November 2016

Oh my, I feel all of these. Mine today was when you sit down in a colleagues office to discuss something and the conversation ends but you can't get up because you are so tired and it takes too much effort to move.

You know you're pregnant when...
