It's funny how you don't notice a lot of things until they apply to you. For example, I'm willing to bet there were pregnant women in my college town before I found out I was pregnant, but I never thought twice about them.
The second those two pink lines showed up on my test, though" Suddenly I spotted them everywhere.
I have to admit it was kind of fun at first. As I wasn't yet showing it felt a bit like being part of a secret club. But then things changed.
The further along I got the more I could see I wasn't winning at pregnancy. I didn't have a cute round bump attached to an otherwise shapely body, I didn't have glowing skin and shiny hair -- heck, I didn't even have cute maternity clothes. And somehow, the vast majority of other pregnant women I saw seemed to have it all. "I keep seeing other pregnant chicks out and about who seem to be handling it all a lot better than I am -- their hair is done, they're wearing cute clothes, they don't look like they haven't gotten a decent night's sleep in months," BabyCenter member jlkjkl recently vented in the June 2017 birth club.
"Meanwhile I'm wearing the shirt I 'slept' in and actually it has bleach stains down the side I didn't really notice (but let's face it, I don't care) and basically look and feel like the living dead. I need whatever Kool-Aid those chicks are drinking."
Although I'm not thrilled to hear someone else is having the same experience I did, I sup...
