Pregnancy Funnies

During my second pregnancy, I saw humor in many everyday activities that most people do not think twice about.

Putting on panty hose when you are 6 or more months pregnant. What a scene this is. A woman that can barely lift her foot in the air and cannot see her feet. Trying to put on the hose as quickly as possible before falls over. So here I am, trying to lift my leg and pull my panty hose on without falling down or over. Just before I get them almost all the way up, I get a snag. Not a small snag either, it grows and grows. After the morning workout before getting to work, I give up and put on slacks.

Getting the right color of socks or shoes on in the morning before work. When getting ready in the dark, it can be a challenge when pregnant. You get to work and find out you have mismatched socks or shoes. Is this possible? Of course, it is! I have done this on more than one occasion. I get to work and look down at my feet and say to myself why did this happen? Because, you should get dressed in the dark. That is why. Duh.

When a woman is pregnant their memory comes and goes throughout the entire day. One moment you are telling a story or a joke to someone and within a couple of minutes you cannot remember what you were talking about in the first place. Then, after you are not pregnant any longer and do not have pregnancy as an excuse anymore, you still can't remember a darn thing you said or were talking about. Very funny to see, but frustrating at times too.

When a woman is pregnant and her clothes start to get smaller, that is when she trys to avoid getting new clothes as long as possible. I am not getting bigger she tells herself. Well, of course she is. She is pregnant and will get bigger whether she wants to or not. So, to avoid getting new pants she uses the rubber band trick on her pants and keeps telling herself that her pants still fit okay and it is okay that she can hardly breathe when she sits down. Eventually, she has no choice when her zipper splits or her pants split to get a bigger size.

Of course none of these situations happened to me personally. Wink. Wink.
