on being incorrectly pregnant

I think I’m doing pregnancy wrong.

my baby book tells me my hair is supposed to get thicker and more lustrous. mine has gone like pubes.

the internet says people will be dazzled by my beautiful glowing skin. the only time my skin glowed was from the glistening of sun on oil seeping from my pores when I ate 3 lots of hot chips in one day.

and where’s my gushy ‘I love you already!’ that I’m supposed to feel. I think my bump might be made of hot chips.

but I do seem to be doing some parts correctly. the unpredictable teariness, the brain-fade forgetfulness, the wind. I am excelling in these areas.

I guess you can’t be good at everything.
