Most people would give you all sorts of suggestions for what should be included in a Pregnancy Survival Kit. For my personal kit, it would seem like slim pickins' compared to most.
I'm one of those girls who didn't have 5 minutes of morning sickness << keep your saltines >>.
I'm one of those girls who didn't have irresistible cravings that required my doting husband to get dressed at 2 am in seek of a grocery store that 1) was open, and 2) carried the exact brand of the exact food item I could not survive without for 5 more minutes << keep your demands to a minimum>>.
I'm one of those girls that didn't have any trouble hiding our news until we hit trimester #2 << keep your secrets >>.
I'm one of those girls that, for the most part, didn't break down into uncontrollable sobs at the drop of a hat << keep your kleenex>>.
I'm also one of those girls that has managed to consistently get a good night's sleep, even with the normal mental and physical stress of a growing melon << keep your Benadryl >>.
If there are no saltines, solutions to random cravings, kleenex, cats being let out of bags, or Benadryl in my Pregnancy Survival Kit, then what the heck would be in it? To come up with a solution, I'd like to pose one very important question, and I want you to answer honestly.
Who doesn't love TUMS?
Seriously, they're chalky, fruity, and they offer a boost of Calcium in each yummy bite. The flavor variety is immense: assorted berries; tropical fruit; assorted fruit; there's even a sugar free orange cream flavor! Yum << did you know that all Tums are gluten free AND kosher? >> Let me just say, I've learned so much about these little coin sized gems, because WITHOUT THEM I'D NEVER SURVIVE PREGNANCY.
There's an old wives tale that the amount of heartburn a pregnant woman experiences is directly correlated to the amount of hair her child will emerge with. At this point, if my son doesn't come out with dreadlocks, I'm going to cry foul and send him back.
