There are so many upsides to being pregnant. Number one, if you aren’t working, you can say it’s cause you wanted to take time off for for your baby. I know a lot of struggling actors who wish they could say they are on maternity leave. Better than “I haven’t booked in months and can I take your order?”
Number two, Hispanic men are so nice to you. Not that they are mean otherwise, but there is a great child-centered, mom-loving aspect to the Latino culture that I benefited from, living in Southern California. Other types of people would let a door swing shut as I waddled up in a caftan and flip flops, but not a Hispanic man – they would hold that door.
Now, we know with pregnancy comes fatigue, swollen limbs, and weird rashes, but in this video I present my favorite by-product of being with child.

LOL, that’s one of the things I loved most about being pregnant too! Fat was beautiful. FINALLY!
Congrats on the pregnancy! We are too (with #5…yea, a little crazy) and super excited after 3 miscarriages in the past 2 years.
Anyway…Just a heads up on the rash. I had something similar with my first 2. My midwife prescribed aspirin. With my first preg, I took 3 aspirin the 1st day, 2 the 2nd day, and 1 for the next 3 days. Worked like a charm (w/ no mess or scars). With the second preg, as soon as I noticed the rash, I popped a couple and it went away immediately, never to return.
Yea, yea. My doctor was horrified when I told him. “Aspirin! What if you had started to bleed!” Oh please! I was just so glad to get rid of the itch!
