🤰 Pregnancy Logic & Emotional Plot Twists
1.     Pregnancy brain is real. I just put my phone in the fridge and my toast in my purse.
2.     I cried because my sock was inside out. Then I cried because I cried.
3.     “I’m fine” means “I’m hormonal, hungry, and slightly offended by the wind.”
4.     I asked my partner to bring me pickles. They brought the wrong kind. We’re now in counseling.
5.     I’m growing a human and still expected to remember passwords.
6.     I sneezed and pulled a muscle I didn’t know existed.
7.     My mood swings have mood swings.
8.     I’m nesting. Which means I reorganized the spice rack and cried about paprika.
9.     I told someone I was pregnant and they asked, “Was it planned?” So was my exit from that conversation.
10.     I’m not glowing. I’m sweating, swollen, and slightly sparkly from crumbs.

​

🍟 Cravings, Snacks & Culinary Chaos
11.     I craved pickles, ice cream, and justice.
12.     I ate a whole pizza and called it “fuel for the baby.”
13.     I cried because the grocery store was out of mangoes.
14.     I wanted chocolate. Then I wanted chips. Then I wanted both. Together.
15.     I asked for fries. I got wedges. I considered divorce.
16.     My cravings are so specific, I need a food stylist and a mood board.
17.     I ate six snacks and still felt “snackish.”
18.     I rejected a sandwich because it looked judgmental.
19.     I ordered three desserts “just in case.”
20.     I’m not eating for two. I’m snacking for a small village.

 

​🛏️ Body Changes & Sleep Drama
21.     I used to sleep like a baby. Now I sleep like a baby who’s also pregnant.
22.     Rolling over in bed is now a full-body workout.
23.     I dropped something. It’s gone forever.
24.     I wake up every hour—to pee, stretch, cry, or Google “weird pregnancy symptoms.”
25.     My ankles are missing. If found, please return.
26.     I sneezed and needed a nap.
27.     I bought a pregnancy pillow. It now has its own zip code.
28.     I’m 80% water, 10% hormones, and 10% snacks.
29.     I tried to shave my legs. It was an Olympic event.
30.     I’m not tired—I’m “pregnant tired,” which is a whole new species of exhaustion.
