Weird Pregnancy Things
Some things I have noticed about my pregnancy:
1) I now officially have no belly button. I am gutted.
2) Apparently all women have the linea nigra, which runs down your abdomen. When many women get pregnant, it shows up. Mine has, which is fine. What is not fine is that the line doesn't meet properly. After the my belly button, it kind of loses interest and heads towards my hips.
3) I have amazing hair, which I don't think needs to be washed for about a week. I haven't tested this out yet, you'll be relieved to hear.
4) I've put on over 25 lbs, I reckon, making it really uncomfortable to sit at my desk. It feels like the seat part is made of wood and covered in cotton.
5) As my body has grown so quickly, I'm struggling to know what to do with it. I keep trying to light hobs with my stomach, and have trouble getting up off the floor. It's like someone's lent me a new body that hasn't come with a manual.
6) People look at me with fondness. I know that sounds weird, but people look at me differently now. It's like I'm a cuddly toy or a puppy or something.
7) These babies never seem to sleep. I think they team tag booting me.
8) I'm starting to freak out that impending motherhood might actually be real; I might actually have to bring home and look after two babies.
9) People say weird things to you. At my body rolling class last night, a woman who never speaks to me pulled me aside and asked whether I had thoughts on my birthing options. She said she'd like to discuss them with me as she has lots of ideas. Please note, this woman - as far as I know - is not a midwife, OBGYN, Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist, doula, or even works at Babies R Us.
10) I am less freaked out by the babies now that I know they look more like human beings. During the first trimester, I kept thinking about random alien creatures and tadpoles.
