You might be pregnant if...

Thread Starter 
Today I was thinking of some things that remind me that I'm pregnant and thought I'd share...


.... you automatically scout for bathrooms whenever you go into a place
.... you have to pee every hour- uh, hold on a sec...
.... everytime you meet a new person you evaluate their name as potential baby name- hmmm... Luigi?
.... your nipples are on fire every time your toddler nurses and you don't care!
.... you refer to your little guy in your tummy with a pet name- the little nugget, the bambino, the peanut, the little bean
.... you know exactly how many weeks it's been since your last period (and can subtract off two for gestational age)
.... you crave things in that got-to-have-it-right-now-or-someone-might-die way
.... sometimes you feel like you could live off oyster crackers
.... you automatically evaluate everything for its caffiene content


I'm sure you guys have some other ones out there. This is my second and hopefully not last (but sadly DH only wants 2) so I'm trying to enjoy it to the fullest!

..... You're pimply and can(and will) blame it on your toddler (b/c DP says I look like i was punched!)!
I seem like such an evil pregnant person!!!

..... You're a normal night owl but now have no trouble crashing the instant your head hits the pillow at night, AND you could fall asleep on command anytime throughout the day
..... You check for spotting every single time you use the bathroom, and this from someone who has never miscarried but still gets paranoid about it for some reason
..... You catch yourself holding your nose everytime you have to wash your hands or wash your hair, because the smell of the soaps/shampoos make you want to puke
..... You hope no one asks you anything requiring much thought, because your preggo brain is total mush these days

...you carry around a few plastic bags in your diaper bag/purse "just in case" ( i totally did this when i was prego with Emma)
....you have a killer headach and tylenol is just not helping!

... every mirror or store window you pass you check to see if you look pregnant yet
... if you haven't told people yet - you are paranoid that something you say might give them the hint, or that you're subconsciously rubbing your belly, or that you're looking a bit too tired, or standing funny, etc.
... you stare a bit longer at tiny babies, imagining what it will be like (again or for the first time!)

Why do we do this?

oh yeah! this is me.

Not yet, but I am trying to think of something semi-original: San--#3 in Japanese being one possibility.

30 April is such a convenient date. A Sunday too no less, makes for perfect weeks whether your calendar runs Sunday-Saturday or Monday-Sunday.

Me too! The worst thoughts seem to creep into my head eventhough I have no reason to suspect anything but a healthy baby. I've had some spotting, but it was very, very light. Perhaps that feeds the bad thoughts. Sigh.

. . . eating supper becomes a completely engrossing experience

. . . you feel the need for a second cup of tea after lunch to get you through the day

. . . your day-to-day house maintenence routine suddenly feels so overwhelming that you feel like you are being required to daily scour the Taj Mahal with a toothbrush

. . . you have banished onions from your house and suddenly notice foods in the grocery store that usually have no appeal (Kraft dinner anyone?)

...one minute DH is about the most annoying person to you in the world and the next you are praising him for being the best, most supportive husband ever.

Mood swings? Check.

I am so there today. I have dishes sitting there waiting for me and I can't make myself do it.

. . . You hold your nose while using the bathroom because whoa, it is stinky.

. . . (Warning TMI) You locate the plunger first thing everytime you visit someone.

You have to cancel plans and or schedule appropriately because you just cant keep your eyes open.

You have to cook or prepare a couple of different meals because nothing seems to appeal to you.

You feel like a saint bernard because of all of the access saliva. ( do any of you mamas secretly carry a spatoon )

You dreamed about chicken all day long and then when you finally cooked some you couldn't even stand the smell, never mind the taste and texture.

Okay here is how I knew it was time to test. My dd doesn't watch much TV but does a bit and goes through phases of having a favorite show. Lately its Max and Ruby and she goes around calling herself Max.. Well it never bothered me when she called her sef dora or Ming ming or pink dinky doo but for what ever reason everytime I heard her call herself Max I come soo close the breaking out in tears. Like Don't you like your name? Don't you love me anymore?... yep completely rational thoughts : Time to go pee on a stick..

You can't do the dishes anymore without turning to the side
you can smell a McDonalds from a mile away and it makes you want to :Puke
you crave grilled pb&j sandwitches and pickles
you can't shave your legs above the knee
you fall asleep only to wake up 5 min later to go pee, get to the toilet and just a drip comes out:
you don't walk, you waddle
