If I hear one more time what I should or shouldn't do during my pregnancy, I think I am going to lose it! I work at Starbucks, as we all know by now and my co-workers just love to baby me! Even the ones who have experienced being pregnant before. If I order a coffee it's followed by, "would you like that in decaf?". That is when they receive the look of death! No, I would not like deaf people!! Come on. Everyone assumes that coffee is so terrible for pregnant women but I have done my research and they is no definite evidence that shows the damage it can cause. Unless you're drinking ten cups of coffee a day, if you have one or two your okay. Not many people realize that I am not a huge caffeine drinker! I rarely have a can let alone a two liter of soda at my house and even when I do it usually goes stale before I even finish it. So when I order my cup of coffee I would love it if someone would just ask me if I want it hot or cold and leave it at that.
Coffee isn't the only place where they stop! It's like they're watching every move I make. They tell me what I should or shouldn't pick up, that I should relax because I am pregnant. Lets get one thing straight people! I am pregnant not handicap. Not that there is anything wrong with those that are handicap but pregnant women shouldn't be treated like they are incapable of doing simple tasks. If I can't do something, I have no problem asking for help but when I am told what to do well than that's a problem for me.
Good thing my co-workers love me and deal with my crazy pregnant self! I know that they are looking out for me and just trying to make sure that I am safe at all costs but until someone can experience pregnancy for themselves than they cannot understand where I am coming from. Not to mention the fluctuating hormones 24/7. I think all pregnant women should come with labels!! My all time fave would be.............
"I am pregnant and I don't need your opinion"
See what hormones do!
I hope I made you laugh and not afraid of pregnant women!
I am not pregnant, but I do have friends that are and they say the same thing you just said. I really liked you topic and now I know what to expect from people when I get pregnant... just playing :)
ReplyDeleteI know a good amount of pregnant women and a lot of them completely agree with you! I also agree. I mean yea you have to take it a little easy but you don't have to be wrapped in bubble wrap for 9 months! Good entry! I really enjoyed it :)
