Pregnant Pause


Yesterday while at work, my feet suddenly swelled so much that I was unable to fit into the flats that I had worn to work in the morning. I along with a colleague then walked over to the mall and picked up a pair of extremely comfortable bathroom slippers.

On reaching office, I removed the flats which were biting into my swollen feet and with a huge sigh of relief slipped on the bathroom slippers. My non-pregnant colleagues looked at me in horror and asked if I was sure this is what I would want to wear in office through the day.

I looked at them with a straight face and replied, “The moment you get pregnant, you not only lose your mind, control over your bladder, life and body but along with all this, the one thing that you might miss losing the most is perhaps- dignity!”

You are super funny!

This lost dignity does not come back soon, though. It has been 8 months and I can talk delivery, poop, boobs at the drop of a hat, and my baby is forever attacking his source of food in public!
