Being a Jerk.

I am not really a jerk, I am just a pregnant lady. It is hard being a pregnant lady, your body goes through all sorts of changes, and you mind does as well. You are carrying around another life form, that can suck the life out of you. You don't get enough sleep, you have to pee all the time, and you can't even put your shoes and socks on. Tell me that wouldn't piss you off. Picking up the front room is almost impossible. There is no end to what happens to you when you get pregnant, those warning announcements at the end of the drug commercials have nothing on being pregnant, side effects include; vomiting, gasiness, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, loss of appetite, increased appetite, loss of memory, tiredness, fatigue, moodiness, dry skin, itchy breast, swollen nipples, hemorrhoids, hair loss, extreme hair growth, clumsiness, loss of memory, etc, etc, etc. 

I could go on and on, and yet, people don't seem to get that yes, I will get short with you, yes I will cry at the drop of a hat, yes I will be moody and bitchy for almost no apparent reason, but I can't control this, I can't shut it off, it just happens. I don't know what I am saying, or wanting or needing anymore than you do.  I will be in the middle of screaming and I am thinking, what the hell? Why am I yelling?  Why am I upset about this?
 
Do you think I like feeling that a stranger has taken over my body?

Maybe it is just me, maybe I am the only pregnant lady that feels this way. Who knows. But I will tell you this, asking me why I am acting like a jerk does not help the situation. I mean, would you want to be the person that takes away the lions food, no, no one would so why on earth would you make a pregnant lady more pissed off?

Just try to love me, and show me that you understand, please, that is all I ask, and well maybe for a few hugs and lots and lots of chocolate.
