5 Things I Miss About Being Pregnant and 6 Things I Don’t

I don’t miss…

things i miss about pregnancy

  1. Everyone’s incessant niceness.

Unfortunately no good deed goes unpunished, as complete strangers will think they’re entitled for you to babble off a pregnancy journal every time they hold a door for you. They’ll ask you “What are you having?” “When are you due?” As well as ramble off uninvited commentary like “You’re carrying well. You don’t have half the amount of acne I did.” Or “You’re definitely carrying a boy. Your nose is spreading like a viral video of Cocker Spaniel feeding a baby seal.” And the unsolicited advice will be endless, from banning you from the deli counter to monitoring your water intake.B y 38 weeks you’ll want people to take their incessant niceness and shove it.

      Thanks so much for your support! With all the changes I’ve been going through you know I had to write about them. It’s comforting to know that none of us knows what the hell we’re doing whether our kids are 6 mths or 16 years and we’re all learning together!
