What to Expect When You're Expecting Quotes

“I knew I’d be tired after giving birth, but I haven’t gotten any sleep in weeks, and I’m so beyond exhausted, it’s not funny.”
― Heidi Murkoff, What to Expect When You're Expecting:

― Heidi Murkoff, Qué puedes esperar cuando estás esperando: 5th edition (What to Expect)

“With clean hands (and short nails) insert your thumbs or index fingers (lubricated with a little K-Y jelly or olive oil if you’d like—but don’t use mineral oil or Vaseline) inside your vagina. Press down (toward your rectum) and slide your fingers across the bottom and sides of your perineum, going in a sweeping semicircle. Relax and breathe gently (don’t hold your breath). Repeat two or three times a week during the last weeks of pregnancy.”

“For Dads
Helping Ease Her Quease Morning sickness is one pregnancy symptom that definitely doesn’t live up to its name. It’s a 24/7 experience that can send your spouse running to the bathroom morning, noon, and night—and hugging the toilet far more than she’ll be hugging you. So take steps to help her feel better—or at least not worse. Lose the aftershave that she suddenly finds repulsive, and get your onion ring fix out of her sniffing range (thanks to her hormones, her sense of smell is supersized). Fill her gas tank so she doesn’t have to come nose-to-nozzle with the fumes at the pump. Fetch her foods that quell her queasies and don’t provoke another run to the toilet. Good choices include ginger ale, soothing smoothies, and crackers (but ask first—what spells r-e-l-i-e-f for one queasy woman spells v-o-m-i-t for another). Encourage her to eat small meals throughout the day instead of 3 large ones (spreading out the load and keeping her tummy filled may ease her nausea), but don’t chide her for her food choices (now’s not the time to nag her about eating her broccoli). Be there for support when she’s throwing up—hold back her hair, bring her some ice water, rub her back. And remember, no jokes. If you were throwing up for weeks, you wouldn’t find it amusing. Not surprisingly, neither does she.”

“Researchers have found that a woman’s brain-cell volume actually decreases during pregnancy (which could explain why you won’t remember what you just read about in that last paragraph). And—for reasons unknown—women pregnant with girls are more forgetful, on average, than those carrying boys (who would have guessed?). Fortunately, the pregnancy brain fog (similar to what many women experience premenstrually, only thicker) is only temporary. Your brain will plump back up a few months after delivery.”
