S/O from tailbine pain. What did no one tell you about pregnancy??

in 2nd Trimester

I knew about the basics: morning sickness, stretch marks, labour. (as much as you can know about such things before you experience them)

No one told me about:

agonising tailbone pain

Stinging/burning nipple pain that only a hot shower relieves

Random shooting pain in your stomach (I thought pregnant women rubbing their belly was them bonding with their baby. No. They're just wishing the pain would stop) 

Headaches

    My tailbone hurts so bad after work.  I usually lay on a heating pad.  If I don't, I seriously walk around like I am an 85 year old granny.

    No one talks about how you'll turn into a burping and farting machine!

    OMG, seriously! I was on my feet for only an hour straight because we toured the hospital, but I felt tailbone pain well into the wee hours of the morning. OUCH.

    Not exactly pregnancy, but after you deliver, many women shake.  Like crazy.  For me, it was like I was freezing (even though I was sweating), but it is because your muscles have been used so much in such a short period of time. Scared the sh*t out of me, but totally normal.

    Nobody told me it's completely normal to have NO symptoms. I spent the entire first trimester freaking out because I felt nothing unusual. Also, nobody told me my nipples would slowly start to take over my entire breast...eek!

    Ohhhhh, the tailbone pain! I had no idea about THAT one.... At the end of the day, mine hurts so bad, I'm basically useless when I get home from work, and cranky every time I have to get up to pee because walking around SUCKS.
