how to know youre REALLY pregnant

[jessabella]

Who needs a test or scan when the following things happen in a 48 hour span of time..

1. when the vegetarian feels like she is going to die if she doesnt have fried chicken RIGHT NOW...not to mention when she gets it she has to have it again the next day.

2. when you take your clothes off and your husband says ..."damn can you stay pregnant all the time if your boobs are going to look like that"

3. when you go to the toliet but everytime you wipe you have the compulsion to look and make sure everything is normal

4. when you wake up full of energy and decide to take a shower, wash your hair and get dressed nicely to go out to the shops..only to sit on the couch and check your email before you go...then wake up 2 hours later realising you never made it off the lounge.

5. when you cant go out in public without checking out what type of pram everyone else has and compare it to yours...with the need to justify how your pram is better than theirs..hahah..I know sad right! but what can I say!

I know there is more ..but well cant think of the rest ..had loads when I started this post..must be baby brain!

Oh yes, yes, yes !! Well, ok I'm not a veggie.. Number 4 is my life every single day, I get NOTHING done

 

[jessabella]

yeah but you know when you just have to have something ..that one thing of food..man..this was the first time it happend to me..i had to have chicken strips on my cruise ..and then had it..then had to have jack daniels chicken strips so hubby took me to an american resturant to get it..then tonight I had to have buffalo chicken ..so he took me to the same resturant tonight...and the funny thing is ...I HATE CHICKEN...
I think I jsut like the sauce and fried bit..not the meat..I dont like the chicken meat bit..just the fat..hahahaha...

oh and I have #6
6. when all of a sudden you look in the mirror and see more veins than you ever thought existed on top of your skin!

Sounds like your baby isn't a vegetarian, lol! I'm starting to think mine is...I can barely tolerate the sight of chicken.

 

[jessabella]

haha ahh no..poor thing..especially if you really like it

Well now Im eating meat dont know what we will go back to after bub is here...I didnt eat bread, white sugar or white rice either (not that I didnt like rice or sugar though..just didnt eat it) ..and now I eat it sometimes..so you just never know..I pretty much will eat anything I feel like these days...( I say this while I munch on a Krispy creme doughnut!! hahaah)
next thing you know I will be eating pasta...that I still do not like!!

I am counting down till I can get some McDs fries ! I really want a quarter pounder too, even though I haven't eaten there since I saw FAst Food Nation ('there's sh*t in the meat!') Just got to have...

I'm vegetarian, but being pregnant didn't change anything about that. If anything, I'm more vegetarian now than ever because I usually eat fish and try to avoid it now. (Too complicated. Keep forgetting to take the list with what sorts are okay to eat.)

Great list! #2 and 4 are so true for me! #3 definitely all of first trimester but I've gotten better.

3 and 4 are a definite for me lol. I reckon you need to add a couple though.
- Everytime you bend over to pick something up, you start speaking in some unknown alien language.
- If you sit in a low chair or bean bag, you resemble a turtle on it's back when you try to get up again.

We have a fairly low sofa and my OH thinks it's hilarious to watch me struggle to get up lol. When he does help he'll pull me half way then "accidently" let go so I flop back on my ass lol. Never far enough to fall hard though, just like an inch off the seat.

ROFL!!! i use to LOVE chicken, everyone knew me as the one who LOVED chicken... well.... ive gone off it LMAO but i Love my Red Meat now.. so.. so strange. Before i got pregnant i was like "i won't go off chicken"..... yeah i was wrong D:

Oh so true- for me 3 and 5 (and I havent even bought my pram yet) especially!

Didz thats very true about getting up and bending over too!
