Today one of my girl friends and I went out to lunch and then saw the movie, The Proposal (soo good, by the way). The last time I was at the movies was about 2-3 weeks ago. I paced myself with how much water I drank just so I didn’t have to go to the bathroom a lot.
My movie experience was a lot different today being 38 weeks pregnant. I drank so much water during lunch and hardly thought about the fact that we were going to go to the movies after. I really should have thought more about it though.
I thought I had everything under control by stopping at the bathroom two times before the movie started, but boy was I wrong!
Do you have any idea how irritating it is to return from the bathroom only to realize that you have to go again? Of course our seats were in the middle, so that meant that I had to walk through people’s legs to try to make it to the restroom without having an accident.
In addition to the two times of going to the bathroom before the movie started, I also had to go twice during the previews of the movie. Ugh. I kept on apologizing to the people that had to move, but I could tell that some were starting to get annoyed. Really, I can’t imagine getting pissy with a pregnant lady, but whatever.
One of the times I had to get up I decided to walk out to the left of my seat so that I could give the people on the right side a break of having to move. Well, wouldn’t you know that the exit was only on the right side of the theatre, not the left where I was. Oh and there was not a path going across from left to right in the theatre, meaning that I had to walk up to the screen and then over to the right side.
Talk about drawing more attention to myself than I wanted!
In total, I went to the bathroom 5 times in a very short period of time. Then I had to go again, like really bad, like it didn’t feel like I had previously gone to the bathroom, but I did my best holding it. Probably not the smartest thing I could have done, but I just didn’t want to deal with mean looks from people who wanted to be asses.
The movie couldn’t have ended any sooner. I waddled my way to the restroom and then let out a huge sigh of relief. No joke, it was just about orgasmic. I have never before been so excited to see a public bathroom in my entire life .
After having this experience, I’m pretty sure that I will not be partaking in the movie theatre anymore while pregnant. I thought I could handle it at 38 weeks pregnant, but I couldn’t. I honestly don’t know how I made it through the Phantom of the Opera the other night either… perhaps it was the intermission that saved me.
