yes, its true! I am a mother and I love my two girls with all of my heart but I HATE being pregnant, I love getting to the destination but travelling there in a broken down beetle on a road filled with potholes.....er........not so much :-) 1.At the end of 40 weeks (hopefully 36) you produce an actual baby (one that spits and poops and controls your every move like a puppet master with one cleverly mastered command 'WAAH!!!!!!'........ also known as crying. 2.Morning, afternoon and evening sickness (the inability to hold down anything that resembles food) – the smell of frying onions causes nausea and barfing......gross..uuurrgghhhh.....nobody feels sorry for you because you are not suffering from a life life-threatening disease you are just pregnant. My doctor called it “niggles” and just gave a little smile. I felt like choking him with my swollen fingers 3.Libido? What's that? No it's not the latest NISSAN model....it is the warm funny exciting feelings you actually had for your partner before you “fell” pregnant. Lack of libido causes you want to strangle him with your thong by one light well meaning touch to the shoulder. You find yourself chanting “You did this to me! You did this to me! Forget about willing participant......hehehehehe 4.Bloating........like floating.......like a balloon.....round and ready to POP! 5.This may be added to bloating but I feel it deserves a place of it's own.......your rings no longer fit! Your fingers resemble little pastry puffs, did you ever try to fit a ring around a pastry puff.....didn't think so! Your feet resemble those of a baby elephant. 6.You run to the toilet every few milliseconds yes you heard right, milliseconds! What feels like Niagra falls ready to take you over the edge is just a tiny little drop. Till the next urge.... 7.You can't cut your own toenails or shave your nether regions- you will not ask for help as this may be misinterpreted for foreplay (see reason 3) 8.You worry all the time- does this feel right? Is the baby supposed to move so little? So much? You spend waaaay tooo much time on the internet on aboutbaby.com week -by -week guide. It doesnt cure worry by the way 9.TIRED! You sleep too much....during lunch time....mid sentence...at your desk....in the car......in church...at the movies........you get the point? You need to visit the gyneacologist every month and he needs to touch you or stick a cold probe up you. Not fun 10.Ah, caffeine..... the jury may still be out on this one but depriving your body from the blessed cocoa bean is reason enough for me not to want to get pregnant again :-) well I hope that made you laugh .
