Some Pregnancy Vocab
Category: The Mommy |

There are words that you don’t know until you’re pregnant.  Because I’ve sworn to be waaaay too informative about pregnancy and all the joys, I will give you a glimpse inside this secret, and often unappetizing, world.

snail trail - n. I can’t even take credit for this one; it’s from Jenny McCarthy’s Belly Laughs.  Pregnancy means you produce more of EVERYTHING, including vaginal secretions.  The snail trail appears in your panties.

urpy - adj. when you are on the verge of vomiting, but saying the actual word “vomit” might actually induce the puking, urpy may describe what you’re feeling.

swussy - n. from the english words “sweaty” and “pussy”, the swussy is what you get when you walk to your office from your car in midday heat.

What am I forgetting?

    Vericose Veins…now, you’ve heard of them, but when they invade the Vulva, that’s pregnancy.

    Mucus Plug…’nough said.

  2. mcarolinep Says:

    FUNDUS. That’s a favorite of mine. As in, “Excuse me, I must massage my fundus.”

  3. Michelle Says:

    I was always fond of the painful-achy hybrid “pacheful” - as in, boy my hips/back/feet are really pacheful today.

    Dangit! Bryan beat me to Mucus Plug!!

    I have to admit that swussy had me laughing pretty damn hard…

  5. Sarah Says:

    Then you may use Bryan’s version: “swenis”. Or if it’s REALLY bad, “swaint”.
