Symptoms...

It has been so much fun to talk with other moms about their pregnancy experiences.  One common theme I have noticed is that every one of us seems to have a symptom.  One that caught us by surprise, or disgust us, or flat out embarrasses us.

My symptom has been drool.  Seriously.  This has become a major issue in the 3rd trimester.  I literally sleep with a towel on my pillow.  The drool doesn't just happen occasionally.  It is every night, and I'm not gonna lie, there have been times I woke up with a puddle of drool in the hand I was laying on.  Gross. I know.

And of course it wouldn't truly be a pregnancy symptom if there wasn't some public humiliation along with it.  If I'm not diligent about my saliva status during the day I may just spit on whomever I am speaking with.  Or my favorite is if I happen to be slightly inclined forward or bending over, don't be surprised to hear a big slurp from me as I straighten myself back up.  Just trying to keep it all in.

On occasion there are the symptoms that pleasantly surprise a mom, but why would we write about those.  Everyone knows what they are, how else do you think women get tricked into pregnancy! Glowing Skin, Gorgeous Hair, and


Drool.
