Pregnancy makes you a little crazy. At least, its made me crazy. Anyone else? I have these thoughts and internal dialogues that, when I stop to consider them, are truly strange and unique to pregnancy. For example...
1. At Kroger..."is it worse to puke in the baking aisle or in the meat cooler?"
2. At the doctor..."Oh good, there's a heart beat. So I haven't killed this baby yet."
3. Driving..."What if that driver suddenly swerves. Its not just me who's dead on the side of the road."
4. At the gym..."I bet these people are wondering why I look bigger every time I come here. Most everyone else usually start to shrink after several months of exercise."
5. On the couch..."I wonder if its bad to lay with my computer on my tummy. Does it emit dangerous gamma rays that could cause damage?"
6. At work..."Can my patient tell I'm pregnant in these scrubs, or does she think I just had one too many pies over the holidays?"
7. Everywhere..."If I don't eat something soon I'm going to kill someone." Also..."Where is my water. I need it, right now, now, now, now."
8. In Japan..."How do I tell a Japanese doctor that I have a raging yeast infection and am 19 weeks pregnant? Will my dad have to be my interpreter? Oh God, help me, this could be awful."
9. In front of the mirror..."So this is what its like to look like Pamela Anderson, from the neck down and waist up."
10. On Craigslist..."I wonder if anyone is selling breast pumps?"
11. In the bathroom..."Bran muffins are the shizzle."
12. In the kitchen..."What does the baby want for dinner?"
13. All the time..."What I wouldn't do for some wine and sushi." Then I opt for juice and toast. So not the same.
14. In the mornings..."I wonder if I'll ever stop gagging while brushing my teeth. Maybe one day it'll be normal again."
15. On the computer while registering at Target..."Why does baby bedding cost more than all my linens combined? I could buy an incredible bike (used) for that price. Or get that tooth crowned...or pay for this kid's first year at UNC."
There's some of my weird pregnancy thoughts. Feel free to add to the list.

So, I have definitely had quite a few of those thoughts. But the dreams were always the part that got me. while pregnant with Ben I dreamed that I delivered him and the doctor immediately told me I was 6 weeks pregnant. It was a pretty traumatic dream.
ReplyDeleteYou will definitely one day brush your teeth without gagging again, and you will appreciate every moment of it!! How about thinking, "I am tired of running to the bathroom every 15 minutes, is it really a big deal if I just let a few drops go (bc that's all it ever is even when I go to the toilet) in my drawers?" Pregnancy brings new lows, my friends, new lows.
