1. Shuffling around on dirty floors that you cannot bend down to mop. (Yes, I know they make mops on a stick, but I like to do it with a rag. Its the baseboards that are annoying me and you can’t get those with a stick mop.)
2. Uncomfortable chairs. Which is 98% of all chairs.
3. People who give you the “you should not be lifting that” look, but don’t offer to help.
4. Hairy legs that you cannot comfortably shave. I figure I have the strength and flexibility to shave just one more time. I am saving it for the night before Aunt Shel’s wedding.
5. Spending weeks making a beautiful nursery and then having nothing to do in there but sit in the rocking chair and say “Ho Hum.” I do that just about every night after we put Pookie and Geetle to bed, by the way.
6. Maternity clothes that you worry might not “make it.” I am 7 months along…and some of my maternity pants are a bit tight. I still have 2 months!
7. Seatbelts. Wear it below the belly, they say. Yeah, OK. What if your belly rests on the tops of your thighs when you drive. Do you tuck it under? That just hurts.
8. Not being able to play Pookie’s favorite game, which is a kind of human pin-ball game in which he pretends to bump into you and ricochet off.
9. Rolling over in bed. I need one of those monkey-bar things they hang over hospital beds, to give sick people something to grab onto when they maneuver in bed.
10. Not being able to sit on the floor and play puzzles with Geetle.
11. The fact that EVERY maternity shirt/dress seems to have a sash and bow that ties in the back. So, while I am trying to get comfortable in the chair, I have to worry about the gigantic fabric knot that is poking into my spine as well.
12. Trying to remember the EXACT last time I felt the baby kick, so I can determine if its been too long.
13. The fact that it is socially acceptable for everyone to tell a pregnant woman how tired she looks. Gee, thanks; that’s helpful. I think you look rude.
14. Standing up and literally feeling the waistband on my underwear roll slowly over my bump and down to my hip bones. Creepy.

I always told people, Yeah, I am tired. I am currently making billions of cells into a human…what have you done today?
omg this is all too true!! I had my baby about a month ago but I still remember all of these inconveniences, lol especially the underwear rolling down.
This is soooo funny. It is all so true. I just had my second child in Feb. The turning over in bed was the worst i ended up pullin a muscel in the lower part of my belly just above my pubic bone,that made it even worse to try to flip over.
So funny! And true…. Worst part is, it seems like after the baby has come, people forget all the “annoying” things about pregnancy. No one told me about the horrible parts of being pregnant.; just how great it all is to have a child. Everyone says it’a such a “beautiful” experience…. that’s because they forgot about having their heads stuck in a toilet bowl for 4 months… Or not being able to fit into ANY of their shoes because their feet were too swollen…. Or the constant pain of having a foot underneath your rib…. Not being able to sleep… Having heartburn all the time…. people saying “you look like you’re about to pop”, yet, you’ve still got a couple of months to go…. Raging hormones that make you look like a raging lunatic…. veins….stretch marks….. sore pubic bones…. sore back…. sore feet…. sore EVERYTHING!!! I stil have a whole week before my due date… yay…..
15. Being told to eat lots of protein, iron, and calcium while only crackers and apple sauce will stay down.
You forgot one thing….. Trying to get out of bed in the morning when your bladder is so full it is cramping….. constantly having your sleep cycle messed up because of the several bathroom breaks during the night. moving wrong and sending a major spasm through your lower belly and side. Well I guess that was more then one thing…But you get the picture….. basically having to constantly PEE!
I think you look rude.
Hahahahahahahaaaa! Yes.
