What you really want to say when asked "How are you feeling?

[housecarder]

Every time someone IRL asks me this I have to resist the urge to dive in to TMI. So I usually just say "Things are ok" or "I'm just tired".

I really want to say "I haven't pooped in a week and one baby is using my bladder and sciatic nerve as a punching bag while the other likes to kick my lungs and ribs. But I've kept food down for a few days so I'd call that a win."

How about you all? What do you really want to say when people ask?

"I'm really tired and hungry and I know this is the best I'll feel until at least Christmas."

[Ray]

"My boobs and vagina have exploded and I'm plotting ways to escape house arrest"

[acorn99]

"I clog my toilet practically every other day, feel like a whale already and am terrfied for what is to come."

[lostinfaith225]

My body aches, my head hurts. I miss my migraine meds, but I haven't puked in a few days!

Like I'm a step away from my vagina falling out. Also, are you going to eat that?

I'm thankful for the fact that the soup I got last night made me sick, because it is the first time I've pooped in a week.

This!! lol

I am gassy, need to poop, and have to take Diclegis every day just to make it through without throwing up everything. Oh, and I am really hoping this coffee I am drinking makes me poop because I was only able to get a little out yesterday at my Dr's office for the stool sample....

[lostinfaith225]

Why yes, I love get Ivs multiple times a week. Not!

Yes I ate the fig newtons in 2 days.

Haha, this is me too! Except add that my head feels like it's going to explode and my mouth constantly tastes like butt sauce no matter what I do.

[sarcaztic10]

glaze, I am glad to hear I am not the only one who always seems to have a bad taste in her mouth!

[mcktymck]

My boobs have been killing me for 5 months, I sleep like shit at night due to my hips and constant need to pee (not to mention messed up dreams), I get awful gas, and anytime I eat too much my stomach ends up in my throat and my whole belly gets even more swollen and bloated to the point I feel like I might literally explode. But other than that, pregnancy is great!

[TnT10]

Ugh, that sucks that so many of you have felt so terrible so far, hugs!

I want to punch people that say "Wow, you're only X weeks!" And then reply that I'm scared to see what I will look like double this size LOL! And "Are you going to give me some food?"

I hate it so much! I don't understand why, it makes no sense! Have you found anything to help?

I have not found anything to help, the taste always returns!

[madamewaffles]

- This baby's kicks make me feel like my vagine is falling out.
- Can I eat some of that?
- I am growing hair in places I never knew possible to grow hair
- I have more bloody boogers coming out of my nose than you can imagine

My prescription drugs are giving me gas. Last night my four year old smelled a fart, instantly started acting like it was a personal attack against her, and yelled at me (while shaking her finger) 'I AM VERRRY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!! You are so disgusting to me!!' and then when I said I couldn't help it, she said 'You are so gross! Hold it in, until you can feel it in your throat!' Later, she asked me to move out until I am not longer on that medicine (its anti-nausea medication).

That pretty much sums up the last couple months of pregnancy. I am bloated, gassy, and my 4 year old is disgusted with me and my pregnant bodily functions...

Pickles, mustard, and vinegar seem to cut through mine temporarily. Mine is slightly bitter grossness. For weeks I wondered if I had dish soap residue on my dishes.

Same here, ugh! I'm hoping it doesn't last the whole pregnancy but it's not looking promising.

On the flip side, the awesome things I'm feeling could be TMI too:

"How are you feeling?"

"Amazing! I've actually been able to poop for the past three days!"
