It drives me absolutely insane when I’m out in public and some random lady starts staring at my stomach... like, seriously?! It’s not like I’m hiding a massive cheeseburger under there or something, I can see it myself!!
As for the whole pregnancy thing—the back aches, my legendary pelvic pains, the bladder issues, and all that—to be honest, it’s all kind of taken a backseat for me, even though I know I’ve been bitching and moaning about it constantly..
Because once I see how badly some women out there are praying for a baby, I feel so incredibly lucky that everything is going fine with my little one. I’ll endure every single ounce of pain and every damn struggle necessary, as long as she stays healthy and happy. 👍

I'm right there with you... the nausea, the constant peeing, the back issues, swollen feet... it all passed. Looking back at the whole pregnancy experience, it really was beautiful... hoping labor goes the same way...

Statements like:

1. Oh, you have no idea... you don't know what's coming. You won't sleep, you won't even have time for a bathroom break, blah blah blah... you just don't get what having a newborn is actually like. 😳
2. You've put on some weight... I mean, not that you're fat, just, you know, "lovingly" soft. 🙄
3. (Ever since my doctor told him I was in labor) So, how's it going down there? Any progress? Are you doing okay? You having the baby today?
4. (The "genius" father-in-law after I had my mucus plug pass) It looks to me like you're just scared. Why? I mean, I once had surgery for a hernia... 🙄
5. Random women who don't even know me, yet feel entitled to weigh in after I sneeze once: "Don't you dare catch a cold," "Are you serious?", "You really need to take care of yourself."

There's plenty more where that came from, but honestly, the more I think about it, the more annoyed I get... so I'll stop listing them...
