Top 10 perks of being pregnant:
- The realization that there is a baby growing inside you.
- Seeing the baby when you get an ultrasound and hearing the baby's heartbeat at the doctor's.
- The awesome feeling you get when the baby first moves.
- The anticipation (and reality) of going (and being) on maternity leave.
- People holding the door for you.
- Well-wishes, words of congrats, and compliments about how great you look (even if they're lying) from people, especially strangers.
- Baby showers.
- Having the dear hubby wait on you hand and foot. No cooking, no cleaning -- take full advantage while you can!
- Decorating the baby's nursery.
- The miracle of LIFE!
Top 10 problems of being pregnant:
- Abstinence from sushi, coffee, and soda... in general, the need to watch what you eat.
- Drinking milk and eating yogurt. Ughh... dairy.
- Bodily aches and pains.
- The inability to sleep and the constant tiredness.
- The urge to pee all the time.
- Forgetfulness, clumsiness, making more mistakes at work.
- The lack of grace in movement; succumbing to waddling.
- The constant worrying about the baby... although this is just the beginning!
- The lack of clothes that fit, especially towards the end of the pregnancy when you've gotten so big to the point that even maternity shirts are a tight stretch across your abdomen.
- The endless waiting and the unknown of when the baby's going to come.
