You know on medical shows where you hear the doctor say, “it won’t hurt – you just might feel a little pressure.”? I never knew what that meant. What does pressure feel like? Does it change from person to person? Is one woman’s pressure another woman’s PRESSURE?!
Well for the last week, I’ve been feeling pressure in my abdominal/stomach/uterus area. And while it might not be PRESSURE, it’s definitely Pressure. It feels like I have to either pass gas or go pee (putting the “ass” in “class”). The woman that sits 2 cubes away told me today that before she got pregnant (she’s due in November) she never understood why pregnant women go around holding their stomachs. Now she knows why. Pressure. You feel like you’re carrying a heavy rock around (or in my case a heavy softball).
And it gets worse as the day goes on. The only thing that’s giving me relief in the evenings is putting my feet up. And I’m only 15+ weeks. What the hell happens at 30 weeks? You hire someone to carry your stomach around for you?! What do you tip a person like that? Whatever it is, it can’t be enough.

P.S. Many, many thanks for all the comments. There is currently no way for me to track how many people are reading this so leaving comments is really appreciated. Especially when you tell me how great I am. Carry on.

You crack me up. Nobody only Derm knows how paronoid I was carrying Andrea. Oh my God the drama. It was 27 yrs ago where did that time go. Keep talking on the blog I love to read it.
I think we should buy a wheelbarrow, that probably would help with the belly that is yet to come.
And yes, I have also be come one of those people who hold my stomach and make faces. Wait till it does the moving thing. Its pressure and discomfort all at once. Your face will be permanently in an "oooh, owie" shape.
