Being in the medical field, I know all about pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, and pre-eclampsia/eclampsia.
The thing I am now discovering is pregnancy induced road rage. I used to be a fairly patient driver. I would always laugh at Dan when he would get frustrated at the drivers in front of him. Now he is the one laughing at me! It is all I can do to not cuss at anyone who happens to do something I think they shouldn't...and that is NOT me.
Please tell me this goes away when the baby comes!

At least you have pregnancy to blame that on...I do not have the same excuse as I am unfortunately prone to that embarassing behavior even when not pregnant. Its obviously something I need to work on - Casey reminds me every time we're in the car together!
I'm afraid I'm in the same category as Rachel. I've always been bad about making sarcastic comments about the other drivers who irritate me. I will say that I do watch WHAT I say now that I have a little one in the car with me!
Heather,
Right before I found out I was pregnant with Tori I was driving in the gate of the military base we lived on. I remember yelling out the window at the car in front of me. Then when I pulled up to the gate guard, he said something to me about my aggressive driving and I yelled at him! I am so not an aggressive person so as soon as the yell came out, I started to cry. That is what saved me from being thrown into a military jail to rot!! I found out the next day I was pregnant!!
I have recovered :)....mostly!
Or, it can worsen... as mine has seemed to do. It seems that with each child/pregnancy, I lost a little more patience. Now, it's almost completely gone.
The nice things is that most all of those emotions go away after the baby comes. Oh how our bodies change when we are pregnant.
I can't believe I am just now finding out that you are pregnant -- congratulations! I am definitely going to have to find time to check your blog more often. :-)
Heather, this cracks me up because I can absolutely not imagine nice calm peaceful Heather with road rage. I guess that is a good thing about pregnancy we get to experience different things huh??
