For any young men reading this...a few tips...
1: At 9 or so months there is no bending over, it just doesn't happen...nor does lifting. Besides that it is just polite to offer help anyways
2: When we need to use the facilities, it's usually pretty urgent...and waddling doesn't take us very far very fast. Be a good boy and try and accommodate us.
3: When we look like we have a large basket ball up our tops and frequently hold it as if in extreme discomfort, that's called being pregnant, you can go ahead and offer us your seat on the bus/train.
4: If you fail to do any of these you can go ahead and expect a world of pregnancy-hormone rage being sent your way. I'm sorry but that's the rule.
5: It's not that we are being unreasonable, we actually can't control it most of the time.
Be warned.

ReplyDeleteha ha ha...similar thing happened to me in work involving crisps spilled on the floor - 4 people watched me get down on my hands and knees to pick them up! but soon you will regain the ability to see your toes.

My friend, who is pregnant, was at work on her PhD. She suddenly got up really fast and went off to the toilet. But, she didn't come back till about an hour later. She told me, she had walked past a meeting, gone to the toilet, walked past the same meeting and clicked, she was the main speaker in that room! Apparently, being pregnant makes you proper forget things. Is this actually true?
ReplyDeleteOh totally!! I could find myself standing at the top of the stairs completely unable to remember why I was there. Pregnancy brain is a very real thing!!!
ReplyDeleteThe last month or so of my PhD was interesting...my thesis writing didn't go so well!!
