Once, when I was pregnant, I was in the garden with my cat and my husband came to tell me that he would go to his parents’ house but would soon return. Without thinking about anything, I continued doing my things, went into the house and closed the door. I went down to the basement to load the washing machine. I went upstairs, saw two missed calls and my husband was surprised, since he was knocking on the door all that time. © MarbleWasps / Reddit

I remember when I went to pick up my wife from the maternity ward. She had had twins. I was putting things in the car while they did the paperwork. Then a man with two babies wrapped up in the next car. I thought he was as cool as I was, and then his dad came over carrying another baby. Well, he won… © BlinChizicK / Pikabu

Today I couldn’t get into the office, thinking I didn’t have my badge. I called my boss to let me in, and he looked at me in surprise, laughing. After all, I had the badge hanging around my neck. © canoodle2 / Reddit I was having dinner with my dad and I completely forgot the word “grapes”. I called them “fat raisins”. Dad thought he was talking about prunes. To which I replied, “Well, it’s almost like bread and toast. What were they before they turned into raisins?” Dad looked at me as if I had won a third hand. © mydoghasl*****ma / Reddit

He worked at a pizzeria. One day, the hall was empty, the administrator and I were at the register, bored and waiting for lunch time to start filling up. Suddenly, a man in shorts and flip-flops rushes in, looks around in a panic, and says, “I need a sour pizza.” The administrator and I looked at each other: “Well, we have a pizza with sausages, it’s quite acidic.” The man sighs, rolls his eyes and complains, “My wife is pregnant. She wants a sour pizza.” Well, that’s where I should have started. ©reshacooper1341 / PikabuI couldn’t remember the word “cucumber”. I took lunch to work, and I had a cucumber and tomato salad. A colleague asked what it was, and I replied: “It has vinegar sauce, tomatoes and these little green things”. The colleague could not stop laughing for a long time. © xxLilStompy / Reddit

During my pregnancy, I loved toast with grilled cheese and could easily have three or five a day. I once burned three pieces of toast in a row and in despair sat on the floor and started crying because I can’t stand burnt cheese. And then I started crying because I couldn’t get up off the floor by myself. My husband arrived, looked at me and the smoke from the grilled cheese, silently lifted me off the floor and took me to a cafe. © I_Want_A_Llama / RedditI loved cold food during pregnancy. Nothing specific, but it had to be as cool as possible. I almost started eating frozen vegetables in the middle of the night. And I almost cried because the ice wasn’t cold enough for me. © JCV-16 / Reddit

My pregnant wife took nesting syndrome to a whole different level. Everything in the house looked dirty to her. Her most frequent phrase was “Oh, I threw that away, it was dirty”. © qoou / RedditI’m six months pregnant, my belly is already visible, but I’ve never taken advantage of pregnancy. Unlike my husband. Sometimes it seems that it is he who is “pregnant” here. When he was late for work — he was at the hospital with his pregnant wife. She got the ice creams mixed up in the store and justified herself: “My wife is pregnant, I apologize, she got everything mixed up”. And so on. Sometimes I think that soon he will scream “I am a mother!” in queue. © Podslushano / Ideer

Early in my pregnancy, my husband kept asking, “Who ate all the pies?” or “Do you really need to eat that much?” After a while, he says, “Stop worrying about your weight. Eat as much as you want”. I love that he is always by my side. © hungry_hippo34 / Reddit My pregnant wife and I were watching something when a diaper commercial came on. After a while, I looked at her and saw that she was crying. I asked “What happened?” and she, shaking her head, sobbing through her tears, replied, “I don’t know, they’re so cute”. The next day I bought the diapers and my wife started crying again. It moved me a lot. © TheMorGame / Reddit

My pregnant wife was craving ravioli. I put the ravioli in the pan, and I distracted myself a little with the television. When I looked, I saw that they were already boiling. I lowered the temperature and started stirring quickly so they wouldn’t stick to the bottom. The wife came in and yelled, “You’re too fast, they’re going to tear themselves to pieces!” She ran out of the kitchen in tears. And the ravioli really fell apart a little. © tinster9 / Reddit When my mom was pregnant with my little brother, she loved the smell of rubber. First we bought a new rubber plunger, but the smell quickly disappeared. Soon it was the turn of rubber slippers and rubber parts in the pantry. And then my dad got tired of it and bought an inner tube for a tire. He inflated the camera at home, and let the air out from time to time so that the aroma filled the whole room. I was 14 at the time. © BigEgg / Pikabu
