There’s this lady at my work who’s incredibly squeamish about anything pregnancy or child related. I never mention anything gross, but she’s obviously overly sensitive. My other co-workers say there are just some people who aren’t cut out to be parents, and thank God she’s never had kids. She has absolutely no maternal instinct whatsoever , and no compassion for anyone but her cats. A while back I mentioned with joy that the baby was
kicking, and her automatic response was “Eww, that’s gross! TMI!” Gross?? Too much information? There’s a lot about pregnancy that’s TMI, but I don’t consider the baby kicking to be one of them. If she only knew. Pregnancy isn’t for the squeamish! I’ve a good mind to tell her “You want TMI? OK, here it is! My boobs have ugly
stretch marks, they
itch constantly, and have started leaking. One is suddenly bigger than the other. My nose
runs constantly and
bleeds spontaneously for no reason. I have to
pee every 10 seconds. I get
heartburn,
gas, and bloating on a regular basis. And I get to top it off, I get to finish this adventure with childbirth! Let me tell you all about that….” Wonder if she’d pass out.
