Do's and Don'ts at Week 18

Do's and Don't's of Pregnancy at Week 18

• Do get lots of rest, and by lots I mean tons, because you're constantly exhausted
• Don't try to fit your growing ass (and belly) into your skinny clothes - it isn't comfortable for you and I'm pretty sure it's even less comfortable for baby squirt
• Do eat and eat often.
• Don't feel guilty about it
• Do prepare yourself for inappropriate comments about your size, weight and belly shape
• Don't respond to these "comments" by saying "I wouldn't talk, look at your belly and you're not even preggers"
• Do say stuff like that in your head, you'll chuckle to yourself and it will all be worth it.
• Don't be afraid to speak up around smokers, weird belly touchers, close talkers or folks who ask inappropriate questions about how often you pee
• Do let yourself glow
• Do let yourself be pampered by your partner or husband/boyfriend/significant other
• Don't assume a warm bath will stop your back, legs or hips from aching
• Do expect aching. Lots of aching.
• Don't feel guilty for already talking about names
• Do feel excited about your baby

Well, that's it for now - I can only imagine what the next 18 weeks will bring!
