Pass Along Your Pet Peeves

I am 13 weeks today and I am still sick 24 hours a day 7 days a week!! And not only that, but my moods are just totally unpredictable....and unlike some husbands, mine is not understanding!! Sometimes I think I should be sorry for being so mean to him, and sometimes I think he deserves it!! I am sooo happy to be pregnant, but I really hope I feel better soon. being sick all the time is entirely draining, and doesn't really allow you to enjoy too much! Good luck to the rest of you ladies:)

I agree with most of you. My pet peeve is definately people who give unwanted advice. It's quite an insult when people start telling you how to live, what to eat, that I have to wear a pregnancy bra. Excuse me, but my boobs feel just fine with underwire and pads thank you. And if I have a craving to eat junk food, then my body is asking for it, therefore it needs it. There is a reason why we have been given motherly instincts. The only people I will listen to is my mom, because we have the same genes and most of our pregnancies will go according to their experiences, and of course my gynae, who has made plenty of tests and knows what is good for me and what isn't. I was completely surprised at how many people take the initiative to touch my belly. Why don't you just go ahead and touch my breasts. I need a lot of space and since I've been pregnant I cannot deal with large crowds or people rubbing their aura on me. Let alone touch me. I get aggressive when people decide to lean on me because it makes me feel really uncomfortable.

I am 18 weeks and the thing that puts me off the most is my husband's aftershave, which I bought him just before I got pregnant. The smell just made me feel sick and I had to hide it. But I think I give it back to him after a while.

The worst thing ever is when people tell me how big I look and that also I am just four months pregnant. I mean, come on what's the difference whether or not I look big or small. I am tired of feeling uncomfortable enough as it is, so it would be nice if people stopped reminding me of how big I am everyday.

I'm sick and tired of my boyfriend not understanding about why I get tired and why I find it hard to keep any food down, and why I would rather use the dryer than hang things out on the line. And because I'm going to be a young mum and that I stated I wanted kids, people think that I planned this pregnancy when I didn't. They just look at my skeptically and say "Well it wouldn't have happened if you didnt plan it". Grrr so mad sometimes...
