10 Lies Pregnant Women Tell Themselves
1. I’m going to workout my entire pregnancy.
2. I’m not going to gain as much weight as I did the last time around.
3. 7 weeks pregnant “I think I felt the baby move!” no bitch that was gas
4. I love my baby belly, I’m going to embrace the two piece like Nicole Richie did this summer!
5. I can just wear non-maternity clothes in just like a bigger size right?
6. I’m pregnant so I can’t really do much, doctors orders {ok so maybe this has been just my lie the last few weeks}
7. You know I haven’t really eaten much today, I’m starving. I only had a bagel, a sandwich, a banana & a yogurt.
8. Obviously I remember to take my prenatal vitamins every morning.
9. I think it’s kind of cute when my shirt rides up just a bit, don’t you?
10. I really enjoy getting those vaginal exams from the doctor {ok maybe, hopefully no one actually says that}
Have any of your own to add?

Haha! I promised myself I would work out this whole last pregnancy, but I only worked out once…the day I found out I was pregnant.

#7 is why I gained 60 lbs!
Mine was, “Maybe I can breath and use my zen-like powers through labor and it won’t really hurt much.”
I blame pitocin for turning that one into a lie!

HA! I did the bigger size clothes the first time too. Then I gave into the comfort and stretchy of maternity the second time around.

I’m not in labor. Those are just Braxton-Hicks contractions I’ve been having on and off for the last 30 hours.
OK, MAYBE I’m in labor. It’s so hard to TELL.
HOLY MOLY I’M IN TRANSITION, GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL.
Hosptial arrival time: 7:00
My son’s birth: 7:30
The half hour was me screaming and not-pushing so they could get a doctor in the room to catch.

Lol, last time I was pregnant was almost 10 years ago, but I think you got it covered….
I remember my sister’s : That’s not my water breaking…I just can’t hold my bladder.

Too true – especially 2 & 3! How about, “I have plenty of time to get to the hospital.” Um, no you don’t, and especially not on baby #3! I barely made it on time!

Snort…with my second pregnancy I lost so much weight I didn’t have to buy many maternity clothes but with my third I was HUGE that none of my maternity clothes fit. And exposing of the belly was a big no no

I’m crossing my fingers #2 doesn’t end up being a lie, considering I gained 60 pounds last time! Doing OK so far, but still 24 weeks to go…
