19 Clear Signs You Might Be Expecting
Have you ever tuned into the show “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” on TLC? It’s a guilty pleasure of mine—perfect for a pajama day filled with sarcasm. Sure, there are some unusual medical cases out there, like the woman who had her tubes tied only for them to reconnect. Imagine being 50 and thinking you’re just dealing with a tumor instead of a surprise pregnancy! Life can be wildly unpredictable.
However, most of the time, those unexpected arrivals come from a good dose of denial. When my partner and I decided to start our family, I had my suspicions long before the pregnancy test confirmed it. Here’s a list of signs that might indicate you’re expecting:
- A stranger in the checkout line feels the need to share their dramatic birth experience with you.
- Suddenly, chocolate cake seems unappealing, but you can’t resist a massive bag of Brussels sprouts.
- You let a few farts slip at the grocery store, casually blaming your toddler in the cart.
- You spend more time with your OB-GYN than with your partner, if you catch my drift.
- Your Netflix watchlist is running dry.
- You can navigate the bathroom in utter darkness, counting your steps like a pro.
- You need a running start to get off the bed.
- You whip up the strangest salad combinations, mixing salsa, eggs, grapes, bacon, nuts, lettuce, and feta!
- You brace yourself before stepping on the scale at the doctor’s office.
- You find yourself praying for smooth bowel movements.
- The first thing you ask when entering a new place is where the bathroom is.
- You fantasize about delivering a sucker-punch to that one person who annoys you.
- You seem to spend more time on the toilet than anywhere else, sometimes in peculiar positions.
- Your partner has developed a jealous rivalry with your body pillow.
- You’ve lost all control of your shaving routine down below and wonder if a machete might be necessary for delivery.
- Your emotions are on a rollercoaster—crying when happy, sad, or even just feeling a little disappointed.
- You make a grand plan to clean your house, only to end up sitting on a bag of frozen peas, watching daytime TV.
- Yoga class? More like nap time with thoughts of snacks swirling in your mind.
- You feel strong, empowered, and oh-so-important because you are, mama.
