A B.M. in Class
-Kim, Alabama

I was just a few weeks pregnant and I had soooooooo much gas all the time. I had to break wind one day while teaching my sixth-grade class, but I couldn't leave the room and come back because they would know something was up. I thought it was going to be a quiet one, so I just let it out slowly. To my shock and embarrassment, I pooped my pants in front of my whole class!

Plumbing Problems
-Josie, Texas

One day, during my second trimester, I didn't feel too well and spent most of the day in bed. I had terrible stomach cramps and gas and didn't leave my room for hours. When my husband came home from work, he opened the door to our bedroom and almost puked from the terrible smell. I guess I had gotten used to it. I blamed it on the septic tank backing up.

Pregnancy Brain Fart
-Anonymous, Texas

I was about 20 weeks pregnant and took my four-year-old to school one morning. The catch? She doesn't even go to school! I left my eight-year-old behind, in bed, and forgot to take HER to school! Thankfully, my husband was home and was able to get my daughter ready while I drove back across town to get her.

Pregnant Klepto
-Mallie, Texas

I am 20 weeks pregnant with my first child and I'm an avid reader. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time in my local bookstore, where I can read as much as I want. The last time I visited the store I became Get the Bookengrossed in a book and suddenly realized that I had an appointment in a couple of minutes, all the way across town. Near the exit is a rack for returning books and a trash can. I threw away my water bottle, placed my purse and cell phone on the bookrack and walked out the door. Bells and whistles started going off and several salespeople from the store came outside. "Stop, lady!" one of them yelled. I could not figure out who they were after. I scanned the parking lot, but didn't see anyone suspicious. I started to reach for my purse to get my keys. After all, I had to get to my appointment. I looked down and found that it was not my purse I was trying to open. It was the book I had been reading. It finally dawned on me: They thought I was stealing the book! After explaining that I just had a pregnancy brain fart, the salespeople laughed and laughed. At the time, I didn't feel much like laughing because I was so humiliated. After exchanging my belongings for the book and returning home, I did have a little giggle over it.

Bumbling Belly
-Cherly, Indiana

Now, in my last trimester, my belly has become harder and harder to navigate. When I walked into the Hallmark store the other day, I spied a lovely display of Russell Stover peanut butter eggs near the register. I finished my shopping and waited at the counter to pay for my items. While turning to admire some greeting cards, my big baby belly swiped across the shelf below and dumped the entire display of peanut butter sweets onto the floor. I couldn't have turned a deeper shade of red. Thankfully, a very kind fellow customer took pity on me and helped me pick up all the candies.So, it's official: - my bumbling belly seems to have a mind of its own.

Fetus Flasher
-Natalie, Virginia

When I had my ultrasound at 18 weeks, I was told I could find out the sex of the baby. I wasn't sure, so the technician put a picture in an envelope with the information on it. That night, my husband and I opened the envelope and saw "It's a boy" written on the picture. Proud mama that I was, I went around showing my sonogram picture to everyone. A co-worker said to me, "You are aware that this is a picture of his penis, right?" I was so surprised! I had no idea that’s what it was. It's been hard to live down the fact that I was flashing my baby boy all around before he was even born!

A Funny "POP"
-Jennifer, Vermont

One day in my second trimester, my partner and I laughed really hard at a silly joke. Suddenly, I felt something go "POP" in my vagina. I panicked and called the doctor. Off we went to the hospital for a quick check to be sure all was okay. As it turned out, everything was fine. All the doctor really wanted to know was what was so funny!
