HAHAHA Every single one of those applies to me. I think the only thing left out for me was - can't be around her husband because no matter what he says his comments either make her a)annoyed and irritable b)want to cry, c)guilty, or d)all of the above - all resulting in wanting to be as far away from him as possible.

HAHA joys of preggo world

A condition that makes you waddle like a duck and attract the popping eyes of nearly everyone you waddle by like they think you might EXPLODE at any time!
