Here’s the reason(s) I want to tell people I’m pregnant

1) I’m grumpy.

2) I cry randomly.

3) I pee a lot (sorry, co-workers).

4) Smells really bother me (sorry to whoever I smelt the perfume of and dry heaved at).

5) I’m constantly snacking.

6) I’m not okay if my food is effected (You ate my popcorn? You drank my hot cocoa? You ate my goddamned bananas?)

All of these things that make people look at you and wonder what the hell is wrong with you.

I cried in the middle of the self-checkout at the grocery store because I was craving blueberries after a 10 hour work day and they wouldn’t ring out. The cashier ran up to me and immediately helped me, no questions asked. I told her I was pregnant and she said, “Girl, I understand.” And those words never meant so much to me as they did in that moment.

And basically, it’s really lonely and scary to be pregnant when nobody else knows except for you, your spouse/partner, and close family and friends. We’re going through so much, and some of us have never gone through this before. If any of you are like me, I feel absolutely insane.

I’m glad none of us are really alone, though, because we have this app. I just wanted to vent a bit. ♥️
