Hi.
Today we have funny pregnancy stories.
Pregnancy can go all kinds of ways.
What funny pregnancy stories are shared in this episode?
It really can. You know, we often get gifted evacs and our other prompts. And anytime that happens, I'm just grateful. That's right. The universe is smiling on us. Yes. Please enjoy funny pregnancy stories.
How do pregnancy experiences differ among women?
Hard times come and go. I'm slow
Can you hear us?
I thought this could be a prank. I'm like, maybe it's not.
It might yet still be.
AI is pretty powerful.
Maybe a loved one coordinated something and there's going to be a pop out.
That would be extra special.
What fake name do you want?
Okay, I'm gonna use Mackenzie. I don't think I look like a Mackenzie, but I'll tie it in later why I chose that name.
Are you allowed to tell us where you're at, Mackenzie?
Yes, I'm in North Carolina.
Ooh!
What part? I'm in the Raleigh-Durham area. And Monica, I did marry a Georgia Bulldog.
Who?
Congrats. He graduated in 2010. I mean, I graduated in 2009.
Maybe you had a crush on him.
Was he in theater?
No, he was not in theater, although I would love to see him in theater.
That would be incredible. Was he in public relations or the Grady School of Communications?
No, he was in finance. And then he took a class at the end of college that was like how to pick a major just for like an easy grade. And the last thing he should do was finance on the list.
He was like, what? Oopsies.
It's okay. He's doing great.
But maybe he booty bumped over at the spot you were pre-putting.
I'm sure. I'm sure we ran into each other. I did not even know what the SEC was when we started dating. And then I was like, I will take on the Georgia Bulldogs.
What do I need to learn?
Thank you.
Okay, so you have a funny pregnancy story.
I do. I am mortified that this is the story that was chosen of all my submissions. Just to paint the picture, I have three beautiful kids. Love them so much. So I've been pregnant three times. And pregnancy for me is not a glamorous experience. Some people are glowing. Some people feel better than ever. I am not. The only glow is like sweat and nausea coming off of me. So all of my pregnancy feels like I'm living in this sort of bubble. Like it's not even really happening. It's funny. When I had my third child, actually in 2024, I gave birth. The whole thing like, is the baby okay? Are we good? And then I looked at my husband and I said, I'm not pregnant anymore. And high-fived him on the delivery. I don't think I'd even pushed out the placenta.
As soon as I give birth to that baby, I feel better. I'm like, get me a sandwich. Get me, it's a bizarre thing. Wow.
I was going to ask if you had boys. Do you have all boys?
I have girl, boy, boy.
Okay. And is it true? Did you find that the nausea was worse for the boys than the girls?
A hundred percent. It was from beginning to literally pushing that baby out. So my daughter, I was only sick for like 20 weeks of it, but the boys were the full time.
Only 20 weeks. I know. It's horrifying.
Nothing touches it, not Zofran, nothing. Like, I mean, I've tried all the things. And then people will be like, have you tried lemon water? And I'm like, have you tried throwing lemon water up? I've done it and it's terrible. So anyways, just a humbling experience all around is when I'm getting at pregnancy. So this story takes place in 2020. I was pregnant with my second. A weird time to be pregnant. I mean, COVID happened during this. And it was so scary. The doctors were like, don't go anywhere. Don't do anything. I'm such a rule follower. I was very stressed about it.
Really quick, I had a glass half full take on being pregnant during COVID. Because we knew a few people that were. And I was like, the upside is normally when you're pregnant, you feel like you're missing out on a bunch of shit.
100%.
And you're not missing out on anything. You're doing the exact same thing everyone else is.
And my husband was working from home. And then it was great with the C-section because he was working from home for that. And you're not supposed to pick up anything heavier than your baby, which is impossible as a mom with other kids.
