I've got issues
I have a hard time telling people that I am pregnant because I can't seem to say that word. I hate the word pregnant. I don't know why... maybe because growing up it was such a big no no so it feels bad to me... I don't know. I just really hate the sound of that word. Please tell me I'm not the only crazy here.
Ok, I guess I am.

Re: I've got issues
It's an absolutely wonderful thing, you have to get that notion out of your head.

Re: I've got issues
darnit...I just wrote a whole long post on how I totally understand and it some how dissapeared!
Well anyway...i was saying that I get what your saying and although I don't feel weird saying the word, I feel weird going to clients for work (CPA firm). I feel a little unprofessional strolling in w/my big old belly and answering their sometimes important business related questions, ya know? I think its along the same lines...

Re: I've got issues
Its just the word that icks me out, not the concept. I think being pregnant is great, especially since it took so long. Thats why it bothers me that the word bothers me... because I would love to shout it from the rooftops.
But the word is just a thing with me. Just like a friend of mine hates the word "moist". So I told a friend of mine yesterday that I was "with child". I just couldn't spit the word out.

Re: I've got issues
How about just telling people (or saying) that you're having a baby???
