Let’s be real—pregnancy can be an absolute rollercoaster. Between the discomfort, the added weight, and the wild hormonal swings, it sometimes feels like you’ve stepped straight into an alien world. But fear not! Amidst the chaos, there are some perks that make the whole experience a tad more enjoyable.

1. A Newfound Zen State
   Forget the Dalai Lama; I’ve reached a level of calm during my pregnancy that I could never achieve with wine or other “stress-relievers.” It’s all about the vibes of “everything will work out” and “the universe has a plan.” This is a stark contrast to my usual Type A personality. Friends are asking why I’m so chill, and honestly, I’m just as surprised as they are. Thanks, universe! (And see No. 8 for my new perspective on life.)
2. Prime Parking Opportunities
   Let’s hear it for those “expectant mother” parking spots! Not only do they save me from a long trek that makes my thighs rub together, but they’re like a little oasis in a parking lot desert. Who doesn’t appreciate a closer spot, especially when you’re sweating like crazy?
3. Bathroom Line Privileges
   Ah, the sweet relief of being granted a bathroom pass. I never realized how impactful “pregnancy pity” could be until a kind stranger let me skip ahead in a long line. I was practically at the point of using a mop bucket, so this act of kindness was liberating!
4. Speedy Restaurant Service
   It seems that people are a bit intimidated by pregnant women, which works in my favor! The other day, I was at my favorite eatery, and I could tell the waiter was hustling because he saw me huffing and puffing. He brought my food so fast I even scored a complimentary dessert. Expectant mothers should always be served first—it should be a rule!
5. The Guilt-Free Pass on Social Events
   Being pregnant opens up a treasure trove of excuses to dodge social gatherings, from kiddie parties to milestone celebrations. I thought once I became a mom I’d have plenty of excuses, but being pregnant takes it to a whole new level. Now I can skip all those events without a second thought—who has time for that, especially when sober?
6. Front Seat Authority
   I’ve been claiming the front seat for years due to car sickness, but now I have a legitimate reason! It’s just common courtesy to keep a pregnant woman where she can be comfortable—and where she won’t suddenly decide to projectile vomit on you.
7. Housework? What’s That?
   Even without specific restrictions, I’m fully embracing my limited abilities to do housework. My back aches, I get dizzy standing too long, and let’s not even discuss the dangers of cat litter. My husband gets it; I’m doing this for the baby, after all.
8. Zero Fucks Given
   Here’s the harsh truth: my focus these days is on growing this baby, and everything else is secondary. Whether it’s my kid drinking out of a questionable cup or my husband forgetting our anniversary, I just don’t care. I’m high on hormones and snacks, and honestly, it’s refreshing to let go of all that pressure.

So, there you have it! While pregnancy can be tough, these perks make the journey just a bit sweeter.
