I haven’t been called “Pregzilla” yet, but I’m sure various friends and family members are saying it silently in their heads. Unfortunately, the many surprising things that happen to your body during pregnancy are just unavoidable and can make one a little…well…cranky. (Who would have thought that an entire Pepto Bismol commercial would apply to me all at once?) At any rate, I’m glad Etsy and its sellers are here with their fabulous items to help me look at the humorous side of being pregnant and find some relief.
The Belly
Ok, where did my toes go and why all of a sudden am I buttoning my pants only by feel? Why are strangers in elevators coming up and rubbing my stomach like a cat? This fabulous t-shirt helps me find the humor in growing in size every day. By flauntitmaternity, $20.
The Mood Swings
I must admit that I burst into tears while watching the Transformers movie. Something about how Bumblebee continued to fight despite his missing leg was just inspirational for me. Other times I find everything that everyone does to be complete shenanigans and am pretty sure that it would be physically possible for me to explode. During these emotional ups and downs, I find that this hilarious pendent really gives people fair warning. By gorgeousredhead, $6.
Sore Feet, Over-Heated and Feeling Gross
I know I don’t look pretty all the time. Heck, I don’t even force my husband to tell me I do. When I do want to cool off and relax, I go for Amaretto Honey Oatmeal Creme Fraiche. By savor, $11.
And pamper those tootsies with the Loofah Foot Bar. By tropicalbomb, $5.
Insatiable Hunger and Food Aversions
Yes, it is entirely possible to be nauseated, starving and have all of the food in front of you look absolutely disgusting at the same time. If a problem like this should ever strike you, have no fear. You’ll find it absolutely impossible to turn down these wonderful Vanilla Homemade Caramels. By earcmra, $10.
Ginger is supposed to be great for nausea. Try these fabulous Gourmet Cookies. By busybaker, $7.99.
Me Time
Remember that quality “me-time” is slowly coming to a close. There’s nothing wrong with splurging a little to remind yourself what a good job you’re doing, you know, growing a human body inside of you and all. Here are my suggested feel-good buys:
Coffee Sleeve by karley, $5.50.
When It's Over Print by ChristinaPerdue, $35.
Truly Romantic Necklace by UnderGlass, $29.
Moby the Whale Rattle by babybomb, $15.
Enjoy!!

I love all this stuff, especially the shirts (mmm, and the caramels)!
P.S. I saw Transformers while pregnant and totally BAWLED at that same part. My husband was looking at me like, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! (Actually, that's what he said the whole time I was preggers with Baby #2).

I love it! The shirt from flauntitmaternity is on my "must buy" list. I'm just currently in denial that yes, my belly is getting bigger.
Oh - and I have some caramels from earcrma currently on the way to me. I can't wait! :)

Nice to see the other side of being pg. (cause yeah, without the HipMama books I'd have thought something was wrong cause I didn't LOVE every aspect of the whole miraculous time)!

This really made me laugh and what great products! Happy to see the focus on Mom here :)
Until of course they arrive and end up eating your Amaretto Creme Fraiche and your "Bite Me" pendant has been used in a "shape sorter" fashion and is jiggling around inside of a toy truck never to see daylight again.
Still.... SO worth it :)

The t-shirts are hysterical. Love this. I can definitely relate after just having a baby. Especially the "Does this baby make me look fat" t-shirt. I could have used that for a laugh when I was 50lbs overweight.
