This Crazy Pregnancy

Whether it's the inability to tie your shoes anymore or coworkers quoting old wives' tales to prove you're doing something wrong, a myriad of things about pregnancy can make us crazy. How's a soon-to-be mom to cope?

Perhaps the most common crazy-making side effects of pregnancy are the physical changes you go through.

Serena Robar of Maple Valley, Wash., says that one thing that drove her crazy about being pregnant was her lack of coordination. "I would waddle and I couldn't stop it," Robar says. "As the body prepares for childbirth, the joints loosen up, so when I would trip on a stair or something, I felt like my body was coming apart. Also, I could no longer judge how far my belly stuck out and would constantly smack myself with doors, especially the fridge door."
