It was really my only bad preg symptom. Everyone said "oh the baby will have so much hair". Totally spot on. She came out with a full head of strawberry blonde hair. Almost two inches long. Crazy. SO and I were both bald babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357155 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:58:23 +0000 Greentea 2357155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That I could throw up all day everyday and pee my pants in the process :( :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357152 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:58:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2357152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: we have the same pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357150 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:56:46 +0000 DesertDreams88 2357150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st trimester: Being so, so, tired all the time. And enhanced sense of smell!!<br /> 2nd trimester: Hip pain / sciatica.<br /> 3rd trimester: Peeing all the time and restless sleep.<br /> Being SO immobile.... rolling out of bed or to sit up; asking my husband to help me up if I crouched down; having to sit down and raise my feet up to my other knee to put on socks and shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357136 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:40:05 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2357136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being so tired and achey especially chasing after an active toddler </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357135 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:37:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2357135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy Brain!</p> <p>In the first tri I left my laptop in a conference room. When I went back top get it I ended up leaving my padfolio on a parking lot post. I had to drive back for the latter.</p> <p>@cherrybee: be careful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357130 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:32:55 +0000 hellobeeboston 2357130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: yes.</p> <p>I got in the habit of getting pickles on my pizza (soooo good), but felt VERY cliche about ordering it. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357099 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 13:53:17 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2357099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crying! I rarely ever cry but with this pregnancy..sheesh. Example, watching an old dog struggle to stand when his owner got close so he could get some pets- cue the watery eyes. I feel ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357079 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 13:22:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2357079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: oh yeah. The worst for me is when I'm squatting to get something or of the stroller or help the toddler out of it- I already have to pee and the pressure from squatting- add a sneeze and forget it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357073 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 13:20:04 +0000 Mamasig 2357073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know I would actually pee on myself when I sneeze, cough, or throw up. It didn't happen with my 1st pregnancy, just 2nd and 3rd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357027 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:22:05 +0000 wrkbrk 2357027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: The bathroom thing for sure. I thought I would have to get up once or twice overnight ... not every HOUR overnight. I am 39 + 3 and like clockwork, I wake up once per hour to use the bathroom. Sigh. Also, it really is impossible to sit up/get out of bed. Your abs just don't work, which I had heard before I got pregnant but didn't fully appreciate until now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357022 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:18:16 +0000 Cherrybee 2357022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby brain. My head is all over the show. I cant think straight. Just trying to make arrangements with a friend is a nightmare - I get my days confused, my dates, place names. Twice I've tried to take something out of the oven without oven gloves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357018 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:13:29 +0000 Truth Bombs 2357018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The pickle cravings. I feel so cliche eating pickles with my big ol' belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357017 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:12:04 +0000 lovehoneybee 2357017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I told D I was tired of complaining so often about how much my back hurts...then said "Annnnd I have to pee. Again. For the 3rd effing time in 20 minutes!"</p> <p>The hormones have been a totally new beast for me this pregnancy. I didn't have any real mood swings with E. With this one, I started giggling once at something D said to E, which turned into hysterical laughing, which turned into uncontrollable sobbing, in the span of less than a minute. With a "I think I'm going to pee my pants" thrown in there for good measure. D was laughing at me, and poor E was so confused...he kept saying "Mommy, you need to turn off your tears and calm your body down now!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-clichs-you-never-realized-were-so-true#post-2357009 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:04:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2357009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never realized just how true the peeing All. The. Time. is, especially towards the end of pregnancy. It's insane and so annoying- my hands are dry and cracking from washing them every time. </p> <p>And the hormonal mood swings! In the span of one sentence I can go from frustrated to happy to crying. Most recently it's been me going from counting down to the days until I'm not pregnant anymore since I'm so sick of it, to crying about how I only have 5 more weeks with my toddler as an only child, to being so excited to have the baby and see them together. In one freaking breath. </p>
