I went south when I wanted to go north (driving) and did it twice. Like I have driven here for years and couldn't remember when pregnant which direction to go to get home.
I was such an awful driver while I was pregnant. For some reason I just could not concentrate. I drove over the curb in my office parking lot & popped a tire. I also ran into a sign in my brother's yard. I drove as little as possible.
I'm a scientist so I work in a lab doing research. I should have been banned for all the stupid things I did in there while pregnant. Can't list them all but the most painful one was when I was using a boiling water bath that had a steel cover with a handle. Completely bypassed the hot mitt and grabbed the handle. In my moment of pain, I dropped the lid in the bath, splashing boiling water all over the place. My technician and I both agreed it was best if she handle the boiling water bath from then on...

Same! I got pulled over for swerving over the line on the right side of the road (still think this was BS) and they made me do a DUI test! I was like really you're going to make the pregnant lady stand on 1 foot?!

This is disturbing but I guess the cops have seen drunk and pregnant before.
I was working nights still, about 6-7 mos pregnant I guess, and I had been constipated for a while. So the prior day I went to the store and got stool softeners. So I figured I'll take one tonight around 11pm and by the time I get home around 7am I'll probably have to go. Come to find out I actually bought laxatives! Less than an hour after taken it I was in the bathroom at work with the worst diarrhea and stomach pains! I was in the bathroom on an off the rest of the night. So glad it was slow.
I used to eat fiber one brownies like they were going out of style because I couldn't poop and always needed chocolate.
I still eat way to many of those. But I don't have the pooping problem so now I just have gas. All the time. Yet I'm still not willing to give up my delish 90 calorie treat.
On New Year's Eve last year, DH and I were going to go to my favorite Italian place ever because I was craving the cheesy garlic bread there. After that we were planning to go to a friend's house. We got parked at the restaurant and our friend called and was surprised that we weren't coming for dinner so DH decided we'd just go to the grocery store and head to their house for dinner instead.. meaning I wouldn't get my cheesy garlic bread. I lost my f*cking mind. I started sobbing. Not just sobbing. Scream-sobbing. DH offered to take me back to get the bread, and like a toddler spawn of Satan, I refused to let him and then refused to get any food at the grocery store. I was so pissed that I didn't eat at all that night.

Before I told anyone I was pregnant I went out with friends to help one pick her wedding dress. I was excited that it was going to be a fun afternoon. We started at the dress shop and she found a beautiful gown (the one she ultimately picked). She was excited and wanted to stop at a nearby wine bar, which we did. I said I wanted to wait and just have a drink with dinner. Next she wanted to have sushi. Everyone was going to split a big "sushi boat", but I said I was craving fried shrimp. Then when everyone was ordering drinks I said "I'm going to the bar to pick out a fun drink" and so they all came to the bar! Then I said nevermind I'm just going to order a rum and coke. I quickly got back to the table And told the waitress the real deal and asked her to make my soda look like it was mixed drink (she was great!). Then they all wanted to go back to one friend's condo and go to the hot tub!! I told them I was too tired and needed to go home, not realizing it was 730 pm. Later we all joked about this and called it the "baby toxic" day. I still can't believe they didn't figure it out!

That sounds like a very stressful day for you! The closest thing I have to that was drinking virgin Sherly temples at my wedding so people would think I was drinking.

That's hilarious! Just a perfect storm of things that pregnant women can't have/do!
I went out to dinner with a good friend and another, not-so-close, friend. I told the good friend before dinner that I was pregnant, but it was early and I didn't want to go public yet so not to say anything at dinner. First the unknowing friend suggested we get a bottle of wine to share. I said that my stomach has been hurting lately so I didn't want the acidity of wine. The she suggests we all split a soft cheese sampler appetizer. My good friend who knew I was pregnant blurted out, "Is it pasteurized?!" After getting a weird look from the other friend, she said "Well, the last time I had unpasteurized cheese, I got the shits." Talk about a friend taking one for the team! We then asked the waiter and yes, the cheese was pasteurized, BTW. Haha!

I saw an older blind woman walking with her elderly guide dog one day and I lost my shit. They were so peaceful together, a team. Mans that dog was old with a gray muzzle and it was probably going to die sometime soon. It was horrible and I couldn't get over it.
