Just Keepin' It Real

If you are easily offended or grossed out by bodily functions, don't read this post.

Seriously, people. I'm really beginning to believe that childbirth is easier than pooping when you are pregnant. Yah, some of you may be shocked to read me talking about such things and others of you who know me well aren't shocked at all. I don't mean to gross anyone out, but for the love! I mean, I realize I had a very smooth, what I would consider "easy" labor/delivery. So, comparing "pregnancy constipation" to childbirth may be different for me than for others who had a different childbirth experience. Nonetheless, it would be great to just take a pooh without feeling like I might give birth on the toilet.
I remember reading Jenny McCarthy's book Belly Laughs and I still crack up at the way she described this "oh so lovely" part of pregnancy. She likened it to "passing Stonehenge". That book is a hilarious read, sans her potty mouth. No pun intended.
I don't really know why I thought I'd share this. I do know a friend or two who will be laughing their heads off knowing that I actually blogged about this. And those friends won't be surprised that I did, either. I know there are plenty of pregnant women who experience this, so honestly, I'm not really embarrassed. In fact, I've talked with friends when they were pregnant who had the same issue. So, don't get your panties all in a wad if you don't like the subject matter of this post. I just felt like posting it and I hope that a couple people get a good chuckle at my expense. :)
