For the expectant Mother, in this section you will find witty, funny, and full of relatable laughs for anyone waddling through cravings, mood swings, and unsolicited belly touches.

🤰 Pregnancy Logic & Emotional Plot Twists

  • Pregnancy brain is real. I just put my phone in the fridge and my toast in my purse.

  • I cried because my sock was inside out. Then I cried because I cried.

  • “I’m fine” means “I’m hormonal, hungry, and slightly offended by the wind.”

  • I asked my partner to bring me pickles. They brought the wrong kind. We’re now in counseling.

  • I’m growing a human and still expected to remember passwords.

  • I sneezed and pulled a muscle I didn’t know existed.

  • My mood swings have mood swings.

  • I’m nesting. Which means I reorganized the spice rack and cried about paprika.

  • I told someone I was pregnant and they asked, “Was it planned?” So was my exit from that conversation.

  • I’m not glowing. I’m sweating, swollen, and slightly sparkly from crumbs.

🍟 Cravings, Snacks & Culinary Chaos

  • I craved pickles, ice cream, and justice.

  • I ate a whole pizza and called it “fuel for the baby.”

  • I cried because the grocery store was out of mangoes.

  • I wanted chocolate. Then I wanted chips. Then I wanted both. Together.

  • I asked for fries. I got wedges. I considered divorce.

  • My cravings are so specific, I need a food stylist and a mood board.

  • I ate six snacks and still felt “snackish.”

  • I rejected a sandwich because it looked judgmental.

  • I ordered three desserts “just in case.”

  • I’m not eating for two. I’m snacking for a small village.

​🛏️ Body Changes & Sleep Drama

  • I used to sleep like a baby. Now I sleep like a baby who’s also pregnant.

  • Rolling over in bed is now a full-body workout.

  • I dropped something. It’s gone forever.

  • I wake up every hour—to pee, stretch, cry, or Google “weird pregnancy symptoms.”

  • My ankles are missing. If found, please return.

  • I sneezed and needed a nap.

  • I bought a pregnancy pillow. It now has its own zip code.

  • I’m 80% water, 10% hormones, and 10% snacks.

  • I tried to shave my legs. It was an Olympic event.

  • I’m not tired—I’m “pregnant tired,” which is a whole new species of exhaustion.

💛 Heartfelt Humor & Baby Prep Madness

  • I folded baby clothes and cried because they’re so small and I’m so large.

  • I built a crib, organized diapers, and cried over a onesie with ducks.

  • I made a birth plan. The baby laughed.

  • I packed my hospital bag. It contains snacks, socks, and denial.

  • I practiced breathing techniques. Then I practiced yelling.

  • I watched a parenting video and immediately needed a nap.

  • I’m preparing for labor by binge-watching shows and eating carbs.

  • I bought baby wipes, pacifiers, and a tiny hat. I feel powerful.

  • I’m growing a human. I deserve a parade.

  • I’m scared, excited, overwhelmed, and deeply in love—with someone I haven’t met yet.
