You know you're pregnant when... (add on game)

[PheobNFam]

ONLY ADD THINGS YOU'VE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED. :D


You know you're pregnant when you snap mercilessly at the receptionist at the doctor's office (on the phone).
... you sob over Oprah.
... you change the channel to avoid sobbing over Oprah.

[mommabear]

. . . when:

*you see every horizontal surface as a potential napping zone!

*you can't decide if you are hungry or nauseated or both!

*you feel empowered and a little terrified all at the same time

*a garberator disposal left open makes you want to file for divorce ;)

*you crave brussel sprouts at 11 at night (this happened with ds and dh will never let me forget it!)

*you break coffee makers because you underestimated your, er, girth :blush

This is fun! I am sure I will think of more, but, you know you are pregnant when you get a bit forgetful :wink

[Daphnes_mama]

You know your pregnant when you get weepy over a "touching" Chase credit card commercial. (This actually happened to me tonight. DH thinks I am nuts).

You cry over an episode of Dr. Phil.

You crave V8 juice all day long.

You want to take a nap every hour.

[Persephone]

It was the one with the daughter and dad with the wedding, right? That one gets me every time! And I think it started before I was even pregnant!

[Daphnes_mama]

You know your pregnant when the slightest smell makes you want to hurl!

[norasmom]

When just closing your eyes while you wait for the microwave to beep ( ie. 30 seconds) Sounds like the best nap ever!

[ZenMamaJen]

* you get teary-eyed reading a review of The 40 Year-Old Virgin

[celesterra]

when breast pain keeps you up all night, when all you wanted to do all day was *sleep*!

[aweynsayl]

When you can not sleep at night time, and want to do nothing but sleep the rest of the time... :LOL

When you can not eat enough, and your tummy is still growling even though you feel stuffed... :irked:

When you cry at commericals (but, I'll be honest, I do that when I'm not pregnant too....) :bag:

When you feel so ill you want to hide under the blanket til it goes away, but it doesnt... :angry

-you whine and cry and pout until you get your way(works w/ ,y dh)

-you count down the days which seem like forever until you are due

[AdinaL]

the thought of pickled makes your mouth actually water.

you cry at a preview to the Rent movie. Even though you know all the songs by heart, and have seen the show 3 times, once on Broadway and didn't cry through any of those.

You go from not hungry to so hungry you feel like puking in about 30 seconds.

you can't tell what you want to eat, until you realize it isn't what you fixed.

you stress about every twinge, cramp, ache, feeling below your bellybutton, convinced it is bad.

you wonder if having sex, even though you want to, is really such a good idea. and then once you do, you analyze every single sensation to make sure that it isn't unusual

you run to the bathroom every time you feel anything remotly damp on your panties.

[nwaddellr]

...the two hour feeding schedule refers to you

...you are so thirsty (especially in the middle of the night) you feel like the back of your throat will never stop hurting

[shannon0218]

:laugh:
I'll confess here what made me test :)
DH and I were both tired, I asked him to feed the dogs, he accused me of "sitting on my ass" while I was trying to keep dd from climbing the walls and I suggested we get divorced :laugh: And I was very serious.

....you MUST get up at 1:00 am to have toast and peanut butter
....you crave McDonalds french fries even though you're not hungry and sort of want to puke.
....when dd pukes on you--you puke back on her :)

[PheobNFam]

Your body aches all the time -- especially when you wake up in the morning.

You can't remember what it's like NOT to be nausious.

[ecomommy]

..when you crave ANYTHING pickled! With DD I craved pickled eggs. We finally found them after DD was born and I didn't want them anymore.

...when you buy a huge cartload of food that sounds good to you and then nothing sounds good when you get it home.

...when your 2-year old has to wake you up from your nap.

...when you can't stand idea of anything pickled. This time, yuck yuck yuck!

So far this is what I've thought of, I'm sure there is more as this is my 4th pregnancy!

[Sugar Magnolia]

...when you cry all the time, commercials, songs on the radio, books you read to you kids, you name it!
...when you send dh out for a root beer float.
...when you yell at your dh and then can't remember what you were o mad about 5 minutes later.

[FarmerCathy]

- You are so full and feel like puking, but everything on t.v. looks so good and your dh thinks your nuts :LOL
-Trying to find stuff you can eat at the store and then getting in the car and finding out none of it tastes good.
-Your able to eat frozen meals b/c you didn't actually have to fix it and smell everything you put into it. (Amy's organic meals of course)
-You have absolutely wacky dreams that seem so real
-You leave the dinner table after your done eating b/c the thought of putting the food away makes you nauseas
-You wear overalls b/c that is the only thing that fits

[pfamilygal]

When you cry watching The Simpsons. Seriously - it's a freaking cartoon!

Oh, and when you eat a Wendy's Smokehouse Double with chocolate ice cream on top!

[eilonwy]

When all you want in the world is to be asleep but you're so thirsty you can't stop drinking long enough to rest. :(

When anyone suggests taking a nap and you take them up on it even if you're standing in line at the grocery store.

When you have homicidal thoughts about people who park in your spot (or maybe this is just me... :blush).

When the idea of carrying anything heavier than your body up a flight of stairs is daunting.

[burke-a-bee]

You crave chips, cheese and salsa at 9:00am.
You cry when someone wins on Wheel of Fortune.
You warn your family that you will vomit on them if they annoy you.
You don't want to share your food with anybody.

[Daphnes_mama]

You know your pregnant when you eat a pineapple popsicle after eating pesto pasta for dinner. Then, you follow it up with a bowl of marinated artichoke hearts. Yum!

[bird_verde]

... I can tell my husband everything that he had for lunch the moment he walks in the door just from the smell on his clothes and breath. :LOL
... and then I vomit from the smell. :sick

[aweynsayl]

You know you're pregnant when:

half way thru your one hour drive to a meeting you have to stop at --gasp-- McD's to pee and get an egg and cheese biscuit because when you gotta go you gotta go, and when you gotta eat.... you know what I'm talking about. :blush

I'm beginning to see why moms see being pregnant as "joining the club." I so had NO idea what it is like before I was pregnant. Just no clue. :nut

[AdinaL]

It is a club. More than anyone ever realizes. :)

[burke-a-bee]

You find yourself putting dirty dishes in the oven instead of the dishwasher.

[mommabear]

You squeeze your breasts every 30 minutes to see if they still 'feel' pregnant (even at stop lights and in line at the grocery store!) :nut

[GruppieGirl]

You know you're pregnant when...


Your bathroom smells like marinara sauce! :LOL

[aweynsayl]

... when you wash your hubby's sweat shirt without taking the dog's green poop bags out of the pocket.... they went thru the dryer, and then the white comforter went in, and it's now white and green.... :LOL

[ktkb]

You know, other than the bump (at max now because it is 10pm) I haven't felt so pg this go-round. My breasts hurt, but from dd's antics and lazy latch (and hormones, I'm sure--that was the only tipoff to test). Last time I was so emotional--and on a schedule, no less. Every week for like 10 weeks Everwood (the tv show) set me off.

Now I am just tired. Too tired most times to feel anything other than tired. My boobs never have a chance to feel big because the longest dd goes without nursing is 8 hours during the night.

Although today I did something that I am going to blame on the pg :blush I noticed that at the beginning last time I got really klutzy...I once dropped our peppermill and got peppercorns all over the kitchen. Today dd and I were eating dinner and I went to give her scrambled eggs (which were cooling in a separate bowl) and I knocked them all over the floor. Ack! Usually by the time the klutziness goes away I'm getting a real belly--so then I have to take a lot more care doing stuff because I have to stand further away. :LOL Washing dishes becomes fraught with anxiety.
