I need your daft prego stories :)

[Misscocopops]

Hi everyone,

As I'm the first of my friends to have a little one they are insisting I have a baby shower (no thoughts or opinions on baby showers please!) and I thought a fun game would be a true or false on my daft pregnancy things.

For example of my trues;

I cried hysterically that there was no frosties in the house

I had an angry mood swing and tore a pillow apart with my bare hands

OH had to drive to 5 differnt shops at 10pm on a Sunday to get me chocolate nesquick milkshake powder

I cried for an hour when OH was, shall we say, visiting my lady garden with his face, told me I'd missed a hair shaving

My weirdest craving was a cod, beef and onion pasty.

I ate a large dominoes stuff crust to myself, then sat up till 3 am crying, burping, and farting as I was so bloated

So those above are a few of my trues. I was hoping you could share some of your crazy prego moments then I can steal them as my falses (I'm not very imaginative).

Thanks in advanced if anyone does share :)

I exploded in unparalleled rage and accused DH of minimising my pain when he said he couldn't see any swelling around my wisdom tooth.

Then I made him go get me two bowls of take-out wonton soup.

Pregzilla.

I went into hysterics (laughing) over the word "shrubbery". Wheezing, crying, gulping. Took me 15 minutes to calm down and started off again every time I tried to explain. No idea why.

I cried inconsolably because my husband told me that he doesn't like Winnie the Pooh baby stuff

I cried because the pizza that he ordered had what I deemed to be a horrible combination of toppings - it wasn't my pizza anyway!

I also had a meltdown because I was convinced that our child would grow up to be a gun toting, drug dealing psycho based on the fact that DH played Grand Theft Auto most days while I was pregnant

Day before my bday, was telling my sister about a maternity maxi dress I had seen in new look that I really liked and really wanted but my local store had sold out of. She left me my present and went home.
Next day, opened presents, she had bought me the dress, immediately burst into tears, I "didn't want it and Elasticated clothes aren't a present"
God what a complete spoilt brat I was being
(I pulled myself together and wore it out for dinner that night after thanking her a million times for it!)

Cried because it was raining outside and I was driving.. - now when I think about I laugh. It was just rain

Craving for McDonald's at 8:30 pm. DH didn't allow me as he knew I would not sleep at night because my stomach would be bloated. I cried I was angry at him the next day I thanked him for not allowing me to get McDonald's.. He bought me some during the day then..

I cried because I have the feeling that my 10 month old DS has to grow up now quicker because I'm 25 weeks pregnant with dc2. I want him to be a baby as long as possible..

P.s. I think I should write a journal of all the weird thinks I have been doing while pregnant. So that when the kids get older they can read up on it..

I cried at deal or no deal when an elderly blind man won 10p. He wanted to win big money to kit his daughters house out for her child with cerebral palsy. I was inconsolable, tears streaming down my face. Life is so unfair sometimes! I might have cried if I wasn't pregnant though!

I was on the verge of tears and furious that DH drank a carton of my orange juice that I use to take with my iron tablet. Then found out it was my mum who'd had it, who had come to stay, and i was really embarrassed and said no that's fine, help yourself anytime. DH wasn't too pleased he got a rollocking for something he hadn't done! Im very irrational at the moment! Poor DH living with me at the moment!

I cried today because I was too hot and tired to clean the kitchen! I hate cleaning, so not quite sure why it bothered me so much!

I burst into tears because I needed some cranberry sauce and horseradish for my poppadums at the indian restaurant and they didn't have any. To their credit the send a guy on a delivery bike to the nearest 24 hour supermarket (7 miles away on a freezing february night) to buy me some.

Oh this is brilliant, I just laughed so long and heartily that I actually started to sweat and then got upset that I was sweating.
Mine are
-crying because during first trimester I often made DH cook for me, then wouldn't eat what he'd cooked as it wasn't what I fancied.

• crying when I accidentally bumped trollies with an evil woman in Tesco whose crime was not graciously accepting my apology
• crying because my DH walked half a pace in front of me for about 5 paces on way to GP. We were late. He was rushing.

-crying hysterically when DH told me he'd been 'letting me win' at backgammon for years (he hadn't!)

Excellent thread!

My pregnancy has been boring and uneventful next to you lot! Although there's still 7wks to go... PMSL!

I was talking to my DP about the act I was so much more emotional while pregnant and cried because sometimes I am sad - I wasn't actually sad at the time, just upset that sometimes I am sad?!
Watching a series about London gangs, cried because one of the gangsters dogs died. Missed the point of the rest of the episode because he looked so upset about his dog.
DIYSOS was a hue no-no for me while pregnant, had me in a state for hours!

Spoke to my bump in Westfield M&S and said "Oh don't stick your bum out like that bean, mummy's bump looks all wonky and misshapen now and she needs to try on t-shirts!" someone looked at me like I was massively odd.

I cried when I arrived at the swimming pool and there was a class on so no public lane swimming. The lady saw tears welling up in my eyes - thought I was psycho...

Also cried when I took my son to a toddler sing-along session at the library as the songs (e.g. twinkle twinkle little star, rock-a-bye baby) created a huge up-swelling of emotions in me(?!?)

I got freaked out by the thought I was growing a penis.

In the first trimester I couldn't stay awake for longer than 2 hours at a time. I had to go to the toilets at work to sleep and I spent one weekend away pretty much asleep in the car the whole time.

I cried over spilt milk. Went to pour the last bit of milk on my cereal and managed to miss the bowl and get it all over the table and kitchen floor. It only takes a minute to run downstairs to the shop to buy some more milk but it felt like the world was ending.

Love this thread.

In first trimester, I struggled so much and felt guilty that OH was doing everything, so I tried to do a a big weekly shop one Saturday. Drove to the local big supermarket, sat in the car sobbing for 15 minutes because I just couldn't face going in, then drove home and got into bed and slept after spending ages apologising (through sobs) for being so useless to OH.

I was craving milk so badly and couldn't sleep for wanting milk, and we had run out so I had ice-cream for breakfast at 5am as it was the closest thing I could find.

I laughed at a thread on here until I was sobbing and couldn't breathe. DH asked me what it was about and I couldn't even speak to explain it.

I have been pestering my DH to move back to England for years. We have finally decided to move back and I keep crying as I don't want to leave Scotland.

I drove to Sainsbury's at 10pm to buy cream crackers and Lion bars. I considered going to the 24hour Krispy Kreme shop but decided against it.

I went to the shop specifically to buy smoked salmon nibbles (the little triangle things with flavoured cream cheese) and then ate the whole pack in one go.

Yesterday I walked 6 miles trying to find a bakery that sold naice buns. Went in to 9 bakeries/cafes and none of them had the bun I needed. All of them are pretty upmarket and I would happily eat any of their cakes normally. Today my feet are covered in blisters as I was wearing silly shoes.

This is so brilliant. My craziest thing has been craving Chinese food. I left work the other day at about 4 and drove straight to the Chinese. It didn't open until 5, so went home and at 5 I called immediately and ordered about £20 worth of food to myself... Picked it up a few mins later. Didn't eve think to get anything for the hubby!

I just wept over how much Dany Harrison resembles his dad (George Harrison. Yes. The famous person with no connection to me or my family).

Now i am ttping I've started blubbing again at how much my child mught resemble my husband (good blubbing).

Waffle and Scummy, I cried at Homes Under the Hammer - must be a property thing

I also love this thread and after a pretty crap weekend its been just the laugh I needed. The 10p Haribo story in particular....... Ha ha ha. Thanks for sharing your stories ladies

I was teaching my toddler how to brush his teeth by doing mine this morning, but at one point I almost threw up from having the toothbrush in my mouth. He copied me and went to the sink and did a "bluuhh" throwing up noise, followed by lots of coughing, which he now thinks is part and parcel of brushing your teeth!!

waffle et al yet more tears at property shows here - A Place in the Sun had me in bits!

Crappy wafer thin ham being the Best. Food. Ever. During those first 12 weeks.

Oh and crying after the bus driver scowled at me for waiting til he stopped before I got off the bus, not fancying having to negotiate him Going round a sharp corner whilst I descended the stairs with a bid old bump.

These stories are brilliant.

Similar to a pp's Aldi experience in my last pregnancy I went to buy a Christmas tree from b&q with my mum. Felt too sick to get out of the car and later just flopped my top half out the passenger door and threw up. A man said excuse me so he could get in his car and I just started howling with my nose practically in my sick. I still cringe when I remember it.
