What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?

Sarah Harris5 said:Honestly, nothing gets under my skin faster than pregnant women who act like they aren't even carrying a human being. They’re out here smoking, drinking way too much, riding motorcycles, hitting up tanning salons, and rocking massive stilettos right up until the delivery room like, "Oh, this isn't happening." Then they wait until the last second to take off their jewelry and wonder why the jeweler can't resize everything instantly, or they start making crazy plans about not taking the baby home in an Uber or whatever. It’s wild because there are so many women out there struggling just to conceive, yet these ones are out here gambling with it every single day!!
Ugh, I just had to vent somewhere.
oh yeah, totally agree!
as for what you asked above... honestly, just total idiots... 🙂

So I was at the DMV recently getting my passport sorted, and honestly, what a total headache... though waiting wasn't even the worst part because I was actually feeling pretty great that day, until this Rom guy—not to be rude, but he looked a bit rough—comes rushing up from the front of the line and insists I skip ahead of everyone else... I told him no thanks, but he wouldn't take no for an answer and basically shoved me right to the front... 😁 talk about a surprise... then later, when I had to head back to the DMV to pick it up, my blood pressure dropped and I started feeling all dizzy, and the line was out the door... I was practically gasping just trying to get anyone to notice me, but between the old ladies and the loudmouths in line, nobody even offered to let me go first... 🙄
It was the exact same vibe when I had to go in for my glucose test... I called ahead to schedule, and the lady tells me that since I'm pregnant, I don't need an appointment, I just need to show up before 7 AM to be first in line since I have to fast for two hours before they draw my blood around 9... so, all smiles, I head over there with my husband, walk straight up to the nurse, tell her I'm there for the OGTT, and hand over my paperwork... she just tells me to go sit in the waiting room and wait... so I waited... and waited... and waited... eventually, people start whispering, asking why I'm not cutting the line since I'm pregnant, and I'm like, "I checked in and she said she'd call me," but nothing... finally, some guy gets up and goes to tell the doctor that I'm still sitting here waiting... still nothing... then the whole waiting room just erupts into this massive shouting match, half the people defending me and the other half being totally against it... these women started a literal uprising about how life is hard for them too and how they worked their tails off through everything, while others were arguing that I shouldn't have to starve and wait when the baby is suffering too... I just sat there quietly, trying not to get involved so I wouldn't become the target of more drama, but I was honestly on the verge of tears because it was so exhausting... it just hit me hard seeing everyone fighting and hurling insults because of me... I didn't do anything wrong, I was just trying to follow the rules like everyone else... in the end, I ended up being the very last person, and when I told the nurse I didn't think I could make it until 10 without eating, she just shut me down, saying the sugary drink she gave me counts as nutrition so I wouldn't pass out... I was just done... 🙂
Anyway, sorry for the massive rant 😁
