Being pregnant, I’m finding, is really a state of not doing a lot of things you normally would do. For example, I would normally nurse a mug of coffee every morning as I go to work, but because I’m pregnant — I do not. That’s really been the hardest part about being pregnant, not drinking coffee like I’d like to. Oh, and these last couple of pre-Halloween days, when everyone’s got candy and cupcakes and other sweet things? Torture. And I even had my glucose test this week. I can’t imagine how that turned out. I swear I thought pregnancy was a time when you’d be able to eat what you want. Don’t believe the hype!
One thing that I am supposed to do is get the swine, or H1N1, flu shot. My Ob-Gyn told me to get this a few months ago, so I’ve been waiting patiently for it to become available, either through work, a doctor’s office or other venue. Considering how long its taking to get to people, especially high-risk folks like myself (you know, pregnant women) I get a little more alarmed every day I’m at work.
