WINNERS UPDATE: Dear Debbie, I don’t know whether to believe the story about a steak knife sticking out of your rear, but it cracked me up, so you’re my top winner.  Runner-up: Amy with the “sexy” preggo midriff…I wish you had mooned those obnoxious teens! Email me to claim your prizes: asultan@post-dispatch.com

Some of indignities of pregnancy are obvious — the disappearing waistline and expanding butt. Others are less obvious, but no less horrifying. My husband was shocked by the man-burps I produced during my nine months of gestation. They were unstoppable, but once the baby popped out, they went away (thankfully).

Today’s contest: Describe your most embarrassing pregnancy experience.

Two winners will each get a cool baby book and a starter maternity mini-wardrobe (two tops and two pants each!) I can’t post pictures of the clothes, but trust me, they are cute — any pregnant or post-partum mom on your list will appreciate them.

Book: “The New Parents’ Fun Book: Laugh Yourself Silly Through Baby’s First Year!” by Kelly and David Sopp
