Clearly, there are obvious signs of pregnancy, but this list I've compiled is really just a number of realizations that have come to me during pregnancy. I may keep adding to this list, too, because... I've still got a ways to go.
You might be pregnant if...
... your dreams consist of intense make-out sessions with your husband.
... you can handle major things just fine, like no AC in August, but a tone from your husband sends you into tears (I'm not proud of this...)
... you ate three breakfasts and didn't realize it until lunch.
... you randomly find yourself completely confused in regular conversations (but you don't let on, because 'pregnancy brain' can only be used so many times).
... you feel like much of your time is spent in the kitchen in search of food.
... you've unconsciously begun to mark specific times of day by baby's activity.
... you achieve this zen-like acceptance that your pre-pregnancy body may become unrecognizable over time due to; swelling feet and hands, bigger bust and butt, the belly bulge, clothes and styles you didn't normally wear before, a cold-pack strapped to your head for the recurring headaches, and whatever else this pregnancy has in store for you. Am I also going to grow a third arm?
Feel free to add your own revelations!
What about pooching out your still too small belly while standing on public transportation hoping somebody will notice and give you a seat!
ReplyDeleteOr dread and despair at the sight of a flight of stairs; "can this date just be over now please?"
Crying because you're so hungry. For that matter, crying at anything. And the worst fight of our marriage to boot.
Good times! No seriously, really good times, too. :) What can compare to feeling the little violent tumbleweed roiling around inside? Nothing!
