RE: Don't Ask Me If I'm Pregnant: Why You Should Let ME Tell YOU When I'm Ready

in #womenspeakout7 years ago (edited)

First of all congratulations on being pregnant. Now the comment I want to make about the post is a personal one. All the advice above is great but it did not apply for me when it came to my mother, mainly because I was living in her house at the time and I was at a all out war with my boyfriend. Mom thought it was odd since two weeks earlier I was madly in love with him(This boyfriend by the way did become my hustband in a couple of months.) But back to the story...My mom did not ask me was I pregnant she told me I was pregnant, which took me totally by surprise. I asked her how did she know. My Mom was a nurse and a very Wise Woman, she said I can look at how fast the front of your neck around the throat area is quivering vibrating fast, that's how I know It only happens when you are pregnant. I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror at my throat/neck/area and I did see what she saw. Mom's are amazing.

Thanks for reading! I have never heard of the quivering neck phenomenon - I'll be checking in the mirror. No, you are right, I didn't think of all the possibilities! I guess this would fall under the "never assume" category, but with mothers all bets are off, aren't they? ;-) I'm sure there's not much you can get past a nurse...
