When you take a closer look, the experiences of being pregnant and raising a toddler share surprising similarities. Here are ten ways they intersect:
- Lacing Up: Both stages often find you unable to tie your shoes comfortably.
- Balance Issues: Your equilibrium feels off-kilter, whether you’re carrying a child or a toddler.
- Alcohol Abstinence: Enjoying a drink is off the table during pregnancy, just as it is when you’re chasing after a little one.
- Sleepless Nights: Rest is elusive, with both a growing belly and a toddler keeping you awake.
- Food Preferences: What used to be your favorite meal might suddenly seem unappetizing.
- Incontinence: Laughing too hard or sneezing can lead to unexpected accidents for both pregnant women and toddlers.
- Frequent Stumbles: Tripping and falling becomes a common occurrence.
- Memory Lapses: Forgetting where you put things—or what you were saying—is all too familiar.
- Messy Attire: Your clothing often bears the evidence of snacks and meals, thanks to your “belly catcher.”
- Early Bedtimes: Both stages find you heading to bed at the early hour of 8 PM.
Throughout my own pregnancies, I have marveled at the wonder and curiosity of life, much like my toddler does. Yet, the frustrations of losing control over one’s body and emotions are equally present in both scenarios. In many ways, pregnancy and toddlerhood are synonymous experiences.
While my toddlers find humor in burps and farts, I don’t share the same amusement and drooling isn’t quite as adorable for me—especially when I wake up to a pool of saliva on my husband’s pillow. Thankfully, bedwetting hasn’t been an issue (at least not yet).
