My Pregnancy Advice
May 10th
As I approach my last days of pregnancy I want to offer my non-educated, completely un-researched advice to those who are, or will be pregnant…
- Take it easy. You can only play the pregnancy card for 9 months. Take advantage of it and let other’s do the little things for you.
- You are not crazy. It’s the hormones.
- Ask your doctor for a prescription of phenergan and zofran at your very first appointment. Keep those with you at all times along with Zantac. You are nauseated and have heart burn 24/7 for 9 months.
- There are 2 books you need. The rest just repeat the same information in these two: Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy and What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel.
- It’s ok to hate being pregnant. This doesn’t make you a bad person and it won’t make you a bad mommy. It’s also ok to give a big f-you to those who tell you they never felt better when they were pregnant.
Things not to say to a pregnant woman

Quotes from Mitchell
“I didn’t know they got *that* bad.”
in reference to my ankles swelling.
“You are cute when you get mad. It makes your nose spread wider across your face”
I’m getting the wide pregnancy nose.
“I have no idea.”
When I asked him why I was the love of his life.
This was all said during a grocery shopping trip. We get home, I’m told to just go inside and lay down for a while. He’ll carry the groceries in and put them away.

The Emo Pregnant Chick
Mar 25th
I’m changing all my screen names. I’ll no longer be geeksmakemehot, I’ll be emopregnantchick. It is a little more fitting these days. Seriously, wtf is up with hormones. I have enough to worry about right now without worrying if I’m going to start bawling if someone looks at me wrong, or go off on someone that asks me a simple question. Losing my sanity has, so far, been the worst part of pregnancy.
<rant>
Yes, I’ve been cranky now and then through my pregnancy. Hell, I’m cranky now and then not being pregnant. But since I got sick with the pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital, my mood/attitude/sanity has went down the drain. More >
The things one will do for comfort
Feb 21st
I’m now around the 28 week mark and I’ve never been so uncomfortable in my life. I look absolutely silly sitting here at work. I have a pillow between me and the desk and a heating pad on my back. I try to get up and make a lap around the office every 30 mins to an hour, but it still is not helping my back. I just cannot get comfortable, no matter how I sit, lay or walk.
Any advice from moms out there? I’m thinking about getting a maternity belt. Did anyone get relief from these?
