on being pregnant...

Last week I passed out on one of the public buses. Thankfully Rick and my mom-in-law were there to catch me and such. That's not the interesting part...

At the doctor's office the next day...
Dr: Any issues you want to talk about or questions you have?
Me: Well, I passed out for the second time yesterday.
Dr: Hmm.
Me: Should I do anything about that?
Dr: Make sure you always do it in a safe place.
Me: Hmm.
Me: Anything else?
Dr: You have low blood pressure from your pregnancy, eat more salt.
(My mom-in-law, the ob nurse, had told me I should eat more sugar...so I guess I'll just eat more in general).

A bit later...
Dr: Would you like a prescription to prevent stretch-marks?
Me: A what?
Dr: Many of the women here are concerned about stretch marks. I'll write you a prescription and you can choose if you want to have it filled or not. It's very easy.


Moral of the story:
I may pass out on a bus full of strangers, but at least I won't have stretch marks.
