Every pregnancy has its moments when you think, “Okay, I’ve had enough of this.” Here are ten signs that I’ve recently encountered that might resonate with you too:
- The supposed “glow” of pregnancy has faded away. By the time you hit your third trimester, comfort becomes a distant memory. Instead, you’re faced with a host of annoyances: indigestion, back pain, bloating, and limbs that seem to be permanently lodged under your ribs.
- It feels like your esophagus is trying to escape, with stomach acid bubbling up like lava. Nights are spent snacking on Zantac and trying to sleep upright, resembling a Three-Toed Sloth. It’s quite alarming how much you might actually resemble one at this point.
- You’re desperate to wear something that doesn’t have an elastic waistband. With everything feeling too tight and unflattering, good luck finding a maternity dress that isn’t covered in stripes or loud patterns screaming, “Look at me!”
- Friends and family have no qualms about remarking on how “huge” you look. Others say, “You don’t even look pregnant from behind.” Great, you think, maybe I should just start walking backward. If only you could manage to twist your head a full 180 degrees.
- Mobility has become a challenge. “Bumps are beautiful,” they say, but at 30+ weeks, you’d rather enjoy them on someone else.
- You find yourself wishing for some alone time. A retreat from society and human interaction would be ideal. In a Victorian era, you wouldn’t be caught squeezing into skinny maternity jeans, dealing with a 4-year-old’s hair clip debates, or rushing to catch the subway. No way.
- The idea of “taking it easy” is about as real as the notion of “having it all.” Even when you finally get some downtime, if you have other kids, there’s no lounging with a cool cloth on your forehead. Nursery runs and school pick-ups don’t wait for anyone, and your partner will likely remind you that “pregnancy isn’t an illness.” You dread the thought of enduring another YouTube video featuring women giving birth while carrying water.
- You’ve exhausted every box set available. Not a single series remains unwatched, and now you’re stuck watching reruns. You’ve even gone so far as to suggest storylines for a new season of your favorite show to its producers.
- You’re over “mocktails.” They don’t provide the same joy, and you couldn’t care less about avoiding a hangover. You just want a real drink, period!
- Your pelvic floor feels like it vanished seven months ago. You’ve reported it as missing and are offering a generous reward for its return—maybe it’ll show up on a milk carton soon.
When did you realize you were completely over being pregnant?
