funny/shocking/frustrating pregnancy stories

Alright, so I'm the artist for all those cartoons in the pregnancy calendar, and as you can see, I'm still missing 11 weeks worth of good pregnancy humor. And I'm going to admit it right now, I'm completely lacking any inspiration. This is why I've posted here.

SO, what I'm looking for is any experiences you've had while being pregnant that have been

FUNNY
SHOCKING
FRUSTRATING

I'll let you know if I decide to use your story as inspiration for one of the missing cartoons.

THANK YOU so much for your help!!!

Cheers,
Mara

I am not sure if this will fit one of your months or not - but I thought it was really funny when it happened. I was about 8 months pregnant with my daughter - coming out of a local store. I was wearing one of my cute little black dresses that were perfect for summer weather - and all of a sudden... I am walking down the street - I hear this hoot and hollar and a honk at me - here from the back of me you cannot tell that i am pregnant - and when I turned to see where all the noise was coming from - there were three men trying to get my attention from this vechicle - as soon as I turned to my side profile - well you can guess what was there reaction and it was obvious... It was so funny I just had to tell everyone at home - It made me feel attractive - until I turned to myside in the mirror ....

Smiles!

i dont know how funny this is...everyone else thought it was funny...i just thought it sucked lol.

so when i was about 3 months pregnant, my (now ex) boyfriend and i went to go play pool by my house. i was really excited because we hadn't spent much time together and going to play pool was one of the things we had fun doing. he picked me up, and i was in a good mood. we got maybe 6 blocks from my house, on a busy street, and i got the urge to throw up out of nowhere. i panicked because i didnt know where to barf, so i just threw up in my tote bag purse. i didnt even grab anything out of it. my boyfriend looked at me with disgust, then just cracked up. all i could say was,

'man. i feel alot better.'

so i planned to get rid of my puke filled bag once we got to the pool hall, but then i realized that it was leaking puke through the bottom onto my jeans. i have a serious germ issue. i hate bodily fluids. so needless to say, this really grossed me out. without thinking, i just flipped and threw my bag out the car window. i didnt even grab anything out of it!!! i lost my wallet, makeup, pamphlets on pregnancy, pantiliners, house keys, a necklace, and other stuff. the only thing that was lucky was that my cellphone was in my pocket the whole time.

we had an ok night (it ended in me puking again), but it was alright. about a week or two later, someone returned my weeks old puke bag to my old apartment. my landlord called me, disgusted, and my dad went and got it for me. it was in a grocery bag...but MY GOD the smell. my dad was all hunky dory.

'HEY! NOW YOU GET YOUR I.D. OUT!'

i'm like, no dad. no. thats the nastiest thing i have ever seen/smelled in my life. so my wondeful papo went through my purse and got out my i.d., but its the only thing he could stand to find.

gross as it is...i think that grocery bag filled with my stuff and puke might still be in my garage somewhere...  

haha, even if you dont use it, its a pretty funny story!!! hope all is well. -Maddie

THIS IS ALIL WIERD BUT PROBABLY NATURAL.. I HOPE ...LOL... BUT ALMOST EVERYTIME I SNEEZE... I KINDA PEE...LOL.... I HATE IT. BUT NOW WHEN I DO SNEEZE MY LIL SISTA TELLS ME " EWWWWW.... U PEED RIGHT NOW HUH?"

funny to me, but i went to buy some maternity clothes and i was not realy needing them at the time, the next day i woke up and was showing, i couldn't even fit in to the jeans that i had gone shopping in the day before. i asked my husband "was this here yesterday?" pointing to my belly, and he said "no it sure wasn't" ok just checking, was my reply. i am 16 weeks, and that just happened this past weekend.

good stuff ladies! keep 'em comin'... you are definitely helping!!!

i'll let y'all know when i've got the full list!

I'M ONLY 17 AND A HALF WEEKS ALONG AND I CAN NOT REACH MY LEGS! I HAVE TO HAVE MY HUSBAND SHAVE MY LEGS AND HE EVEN MADE ME A RAZOR ON A STICK SO I CAN DO IT MYSELF WHEN HE'S AT WORK. I'M DREADING THE NEXT 22 AND A HALF WEEKS!!!

My 8-yr-old stepson lives with my husband and I full time. He is totally fascinated with his future brother or sister (I'm 12 1/2 weeks along). Almost everyday he kisses my belly and asks "What's the baby doing now?" Usually I just say "sleeping" because I've been sensitive to touch and don't want him to hang on my belly for very long. But one day I decided to have a little fun with him so I said "He's waving at you." Trystin jumped back and had a completely shocked look on his face. Then he smiled, said "You joked me" and walked away.

This isn't really a funny event that happened... more like a daily thing....

Anyways, now that I'm in the "home stretch" it seems that finding something to wear has gotten SO HARD! I can't even fit into most of my maternity clothes anymore. Shirts are the worst. I go to put on a shirt, and usually I end up looking totally crazy.. My boobs are huge, and my belly is huger! So if the shirt isn't long enough, I'm bulging out the top, and out the bottom. It's so frustrating! Today I even ripped a shirt trying to get it on! And it was a large sized maternity shirt!

But to make myself feel better, I've decided it's because the hole for your head to go through was entirely too small.

I don't know if more women go through this, but it is one of the most depressing things I've experienced. When I'm at home, I wear a pair of my husband boxers and a wife beater/a-shirt... I swear I'm probably the weirdest/white-trashiest looking pregnant person right now... hehe Good thing I have a husband that can lie through his teeth and tell me I'm still beautiful!

Oh, also, I have a suggestion! I've already read the cartoons you have up so far.. Maybe you could put a "new" icon next to the new ones so we know which to look at?  

i have another one! lol

this just started happening like 2 days ago.

whenever i sit down to watch tv, ill put the remote on my stomach and it will start to wiggle because of baby's kicks. then baby kicks the remote clear off my stomach! its happened 2 days in a row and i get a kick out of it.
lol

i doubt this will be used but it made me laugh... a little too much. lol

it was my first pregnancy at 11 wks....i was in the Dr office getting my first listen at the baby's heart! i was soooo happy when i heard it that i began to laugh... well i guess i laughed too hard and blew the speaker on the doppler thing that picks up the heartbeat! the next month i came in Doc had a new one and he giggled and thanked me for him being able to get the new doppler things for his whole office... apparently i broke the last one! haha

i have another funny story also... it was actually at my postpartum check up.... but it was hilarious and i just have to share... ok.. i went in for my 6 wks check up.. well i was breastfeeding... i pumped before i went but the wait was so long that when i finally got into the room, my breasts were full again... well anyways, i was lying there in the nice little sheet thing waiting to be checked...well doc was getting ready to check my breasts and pulled back the sheet...and my boobs just started squirting EVERYWHERE.... even on his glasses and face.....     i thought that was the most embarrassing and funny thing that has ever happened to me...... just figured I'd share that with you all!  

good stuff!!! maybe we should always have a thread about funny pregnancy stuff-- it's just good for a laugh even if it doesn't end up in cartoon form.

shay, your squirting boobs were hilarious!!! i'm loving the picture i have in my head.

Before I found out I was pregnant I was at my family reunion and one of my close cousins was there with his daughter, Emily, who was about 16 months old at the time and I'm considered her other mother. Her real mother and I were talking when Emily came up to me poked my boob and said baby. I laughed because when I was ten another one of my cousins had thought my boob was a baby too, I think it's just a little kids don't understand thing. Then her mom said, "Be careful that's how I found out I was pregnant. She came up to me one day and poked my stomac and said baby. I said no, there's no baby in there. Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant." I didn't reaklly think about it much tell later when my fiance and I finally decided to take a pregnancy test. Well looks like Emily was right again.

yeah having a little place for funny pregnancy happenings would be great! lol!

I was probably about six months along with our daughter Adia when my husband and I crawled into bed that night. He was excited about having a baby, especially now that he knew it was Daddy's little girl. He wrapped his arm around my growing tummy and settled into the pillows. Adia began bouncing around as most babies do when mommy starts to rest. Not two seconds into the movements, my husband litterally jumps out of the bed with a fist raised ready to hit whatever it was that freaked him out. "What in God's green earth was that?" he shouted. I had no clue what he was talking about at first. Then he explained that he felt something moving. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically at that point as I explained he was feeling his child move for the first time. The fist finally lowered as he began to smile and get back into bed. This time, no arm was wrapped around me....I think it scared him a little too much that night to go back in for another round of baby kicks.
