I know GKU does this thread occasionally, so I thought I'd do a spin off for us. What are some things that make you irrationally irritated while you're pregnant?

Today it was H doing the I-told-you-so thing about people not signing up to work the fireworks stand. What the fuck am I supposed to do if people don't sign up? Why are you playing the I-told-you-so card? Do you have a solution? No? Then shut your damn mouth, you're not helping.
Otherwise, traffic. I hate driving places unless I'm going to be out on the open road. City traffic has been driving me nuts anytime I go out there. It's like people know I'm irritated so they go 10 under the limit. Fuck you people.
I've got 3 that stick out for me. 1. I am not obligated to tell ANYONE ANYTHING about my pregnancy ESPECIALLY if you're not family. So get butthurt all you want, but I will pick and choose on who I tell and when I tell.
2. I am fully aware that my son could look and act like my husband, and I am COMPLETELY okay with that. If I didn't like how MH acted I probably wouldn't have dated him to begin with. So STOP telling me.
3. Stop asking me if I'm going to call him by his first name or his middle name! If I wanted to call him by his middle name I would have made it his first name!!

Had lunch plans with two friends..got a text that they were at my building to pick me up at the same time that my boss walked up to my desk to tell me we were having a "quick meeting" in 10 minutes. WTF. You know I eat lunch at 1130. 1130 is not an acceptable time to have a meeting. EVER.

My DS trying to eat my food. He always wants to eat whatever it is I'm having. I need to remind myself that I shouldn't deny a two year old food, but at the same time GET YOUR OWN!!!
My second: over the weekend at my IL's my FIL found my Haribo candies I brought for the weekend and ate most of them. WTF?!?

Pants. Pants make me irritated. As do non-flip flop shoes.
I also hate the sound of my husband picking at his finger nails. There's a GD nail file in the bathroom and in our TV room. USE IT. Don't worry at one nail with your other nails instead of cutting or filing them FFS.

Not irrational, and I get pissed about this even when not pregnant. My boss tends to do this at 4:45 or 5.....like no, I don't do the later flexible hours, so please if we need to talk, can it be at 4??
TTC #1 starting July 2013, RE last 2014 First Angel baby lost July 11, 2014 IUI #1 with injections successful: EDD 11/24/15 Rainbow baby DD born 11/14/15 TTC#2 October 2016 Second Angel baby lost Jan 5, 2017
People at work who ask me every 2 seconds if I'm feeling okay and if I need them do get me anything. Um I'm pregnant, not helpless. Leave me alone! If I need something I will ask. SO constantly pointing out what I can't eat since my GD diagnosis. I know I can't eat all the wonderful carbs anymore but having it mentioned all the time makes me want to eat all the bad shit.
I have customers who come in daily and ask how I am feeling. I hate it get a life stop coming into the bank as a social call, I am very tempted to tell them I feel like shit so they will leave me alone. But I'd probably get in trouble for having an attitude with a customer grrrr.
@gothefawktosleep I hear you on a toddler that books it when you need them to get changed! DS drives me crazy with this and I also refuse to chase him around! If MH is home I make him grab him and bring him to me!

My FIL doesn't do this exactly, but if MH asks me to do something, even as simple as get him a bottle water, my FIL will scream at him "Don't make her do that!" It drives me crazy! Luckily he hasn't been over in a while so I haven't had to hear that.
Full panel maternity pants that don't have a nude colored panel. And why I continue to buy them even though they're black paneled and can be seen through most of my light colored shirts?
I have never realized that before. But now that you've said that I don't think I've ever seen a full panel in nude either. Wow. That's weird.

I have customers that do that too. And I want to tell them the same thing, but I feel like if I did it'd have the exact opposite reaction of what I wanted. They'd probably ask me even more questions.

My full panel pants have a nude panel - Old Navy capris. I hate them. I hate all pants right now.
Can I just wear cotton jersey shorts all the time please??

Everything? If I must narrow it down, my 3 year olds incessant random questions, my husband being very sensitive (yes, I'm cranky and unfairly bitchy sometimes, get over it), and 75% of my coworkers.

Also, the fact that they want me to drink 32 oz of water right before my A/S. I never had one with previous pregnancies, so maybe this is a regular thing, but seriously, how am I not going to piss myself all over their table? Lord help me and them if I have to sneeze. It's allergy season FFS.
For me, it's noise. Someone's breathing too loud? Stop breathing. Clock ticking? Just stop. Coworker sighing or getting angry at the keyboard? STFU! H biting his nails? I smacked his hand into his face, gently (sorta), and told him to knock it the F off.
Also, getting off the couch. It is really deep and if I sink into it I just can't get up easy. It's really frustrating and I'm only half way through this pregnancy.

My khaki pants have a nude panel. But yeah, why don't they do that on all pants?

I second that I get really frustrated by everyone constantly asking me if I know what I'm having. And then when I say we don't know, they go on about how "difficult" that must be. It's a baby, and the sex of that baby does not determine who they will be, what they will like, and even which gender they will identify with. So no, it isn't "difficult" to not find out what were having, because honestly we won't find out for years still even once we know the sex.

At this moment, the ceiling fan is wobbling and making a clicking sound and it's driving me insane.
In general, whiners. Oh, and people who have a 3-car garage but managed to fill it with so much crap that they can't fit either of their cars in it and complain when they get hail damage.

I always wondered about the nude panel. All of my maternity jeans from when I was pregnant with DD had navy blue panels. SO, if I wore a light colored top, I'd have to wear a tank or something under it to try to hide the obvious dark blue panel. *annoyed*
I think the concept is to try to match the panel with the fabric of the pants/shorts... but, I'd argue that most pregglies would want nude. In a perfect world, they would have different skin shades... perhaps a light, medium, and dark. That'll never happen, though. Unless I go into business with my brilliant idea.

To my husband and mother:
I am not a delicate Fabergé egg! I HATE HATE HATE being babied and they won't stop. I can do things. I can lift 10 lbs. I can walk to the compost bin. I can go grocery shopping!

I also hate that lately someone at work has been putting toilet paper rolls on the roll backwards. I swear, I have to fix it every freaking time I pee.
