let a pregnant woman go supermarket shopping. Seriously. I am in the throws of nausea and weird cravings which resulted in some very bizarre items in our weekly shopping. Things I haven't bought since I was a child, like weetabix. And it also resulted in massive gaps in our shopping since I couldn't face the dairy, meat or fish counters in the supermarket. Oh well if Mr. T wants it he has to go gets it himself.
Don't tell a pregnant woman not to eat too much so she doesn't gain too much weight over the pregnancy. Seriously? Who are these people and what are they thinking? Five people have told me this already and they have no idea how close they came to that being the last stupid thing they would ever say before I knocked the life out of them.
Don't tell a pregnant woman suffering strong nausea and morning sickness, just to power through and that it's a question of mind over matter. Tell me that again while I throw up on you.
Don't cook meat with a pregnant woman in the next room. This point is specifically directed to Mr. T. I had to sit out on the balcony at night in March (i.e cold!!) to avoid vomiting on the carpet. Hmm maybe next time I will do just that and then that steak won't seem so appealing after all...
Do understand that I feel nauseous and hormonal and that while this is all very very wonderful and it's what I want more than anything else in the whole world - GIVE ME A BREAK, I FEEL LIKE CRAP! Thank you.
