What I think annoys me most is always hearing, 'I was all belly but you are really carrying all over!!' And one more, "Are you sure they aren't twins!!" This is my fourth baby!! I guess people forget about sensitivity hormones..lol

Some things that i used to eat all the time was McDonalds, now it won't even stay down for five minutes. Even after my first trimester does this still happen to me, i don't think McDonalds will ever taste the same to me again!

I hate that just because I'm pregnant people think that they can just come up and touch my stomach, even people I don't know!

Tiredness. I am 15 weeks and fall asleep at my desk and want to sleep past my alarm. The highlight of my day is going home so I can have a sleep. Gets really depressing. Oh and the lady with the acne? Ditto. I have always had great skin - what happened to that 'maternal glow'? I look haggard and spotty!

I hate smelling cigarette smoke! I used to smoke before I got pregnant and obviously it didn't used to bother me but now smelling it is enough to have me running to the bathroom to throw up. I live in an apt. complex where I can't leave any windows open because people are constantly smoking outside and I can pick up that scent from a mile away. Also, my fiance smokes the occasional cigarette and thinks he masks the smell good by washing his hands afterward, but there is nothing worse than going to give him a hug and then smelling the cigarette smoke and wanting to puke all over him. I HATE IT!!! I also have friends that smoke and it makes me not want to visit them anymore because even though they are smoking outside I can still smell it when they come back in the house. I guess this is my body's way of keeping me away from unhealthy substances, but it is really aggravating!

My pregnancy pet peeve? EVERYTHING. My hormones go off the charts and I'm a walking time bomb. I really don't like feeling so emotional, especially since nine times out of ten, the emotion is being p'd off , but it's part of the joy of pregnancy.
