First off, Teresa, I think you’re wonderful. I’ve thought so since your first Adam show and the longer I listen to you the more I like you. Secondly, I am pregnant too, with a boy. We call him Mr. Burns because all babies are born looking like wrinkly old men. You are due almost one month to the day ahead of me and I and my left hand owe you a huge debt of gratitude. After the ring podcast the other week I immediately took off my rings and I am SO glad I did. Your finger looked like it hurt like hell, I’m so sorry.
The other thing I wanted to tell you, so I guess thirdly, is I hear you on the preggo ladies ignoring preggo ladies thing. WTF?! My husband and I moved from the Bay Area to this very family centric little town outside of Milwaukee about a year and a half ago. At first no one would talk to me because we didn’t have kids. Then two of our nieces came to spend the weekend with us and we had their double stroller parked outside the front door. All of a sudden we were worth talking to. Several people stopped me to say they saw the stroller and were wondering if we had twins. When I said no twins, just nieces, they kind of frowned and walked away. I was no longer worth a friendship I guess. So strange. Anyway, so then I finally do get pregnant and I think this is it, a ticket into the club. Only, not so much. It’s more of what you described. I desperately want to make some mommy friends and no other pregnant ladies will talk to me. Believe me, I tried to make friends in our birthing class, and although there were a few moms to be who I really liked, I didn’t make any friends. Lots of other people go out of their way to talk to me about my germinating child, but a fellow preggo? Nada. Some of your readers seem to think you’re being shunned because you look so good, and this did cross my mind, and you really do look great, but I think it’s something else. I am not such a stunning pregnant lady and they’re still not talking to me. I live in the freaking Midwest where people are supposed to be super nice so I don’t think it’s because the knocked up in your neck of the woods are rude or stand-offish. I think we were both expecting that expecting means admittance into a special circle of womanhood and I think we were wrong. I think the bond is forged post-baby. I think pregnant ladies are too busy thinking about their baby, navel gazing in the strictest sense, to pay attention to another pregnant lady. I think women who have already had a kid or two are the ones who like to talk to pregnant ladies. I love to hear what they have to say, but I wish I had a friend with volcanic heartburn and labor anxiety along for the ride.
In any case, thank you so much for writing this blog. I’ve been meaning to write to you for a very long time to tell you how great I think you are. I thoroughly enjoy reading this blog and listening to you whenever you’re on Adam’s podcast.

I thought I was the only alien pregnant woman that other pregnant women “hated”. I thought we would be a sisterhood…oooohhhh no! I’m glad to see you’re doing well. I have less than a week to go and I am OVER IT! Now on maternity leave, I’ve caught up on the podcast and see you are too. Hang in there!

Ok, when I read: “iPhone app that times contractions” I realized that technology has to stop. They have giant clocks on the wall in every room in every hospital this side of Angola. I’m sure Adam Corolla would have an hour rant about this.

So much of this deserves commenting, but it seems about a million other people have already said what I would have. Can I just suggest– on the nipple pads front? Lily Pads. They’re like, 18 bucks, keep you from leaking altogether (about 95% of the time anyway) and are pretty comfy. They’re basically suction cups that hold your shit in so you don’t leak in the first place and kick regular pads’ asses.

even though I have 2 small kids and are no longer preggers, I’d say hi. as a new mom I want to talk to all other moms and moms to be to compare and commiserate.

and as for the pads, you want lily padz, trust me.

Dealt with the snubbing up here in Oregon as well. It was almost 17 years ago that I had my daughter but still remember the glares I got when I was pregnant. Not only by the other Preg’s but also by those who were not. I gained a lot as well and went up 2 cups. SO I feel for you T! As for that stupid dress comment that was really RUDE! REALLY! I really thing Sookie is just jealous! Your gorgeous, and hearing you talk about your pregness I actually miss it. Good luck to the two, I mean three, of you!

I’m pregnant and wouldn’t ignore you! That ring video almost made me throw up – you poor thing.
