The things no one tells you about being pregnant

sweetnevaeh4 · October 2009

What are some things no one warned you about before you got pregnant? For me, no one ever told me (and I never read) that I'd have consistent pulling, tugging and cramping in my abdomen. I guess I never really thought about how my body is going to actually grow to make room for this child!

That I'd wake up one day and be unable to see my lady parts.

That I'd wake up one day and be unable to walk because my left butt cheek hurt so bad (if this happens to you, go see a chiropractor!!! Don't wait a month like I did!)

How big I'd really, really get

How bad I'd want to hit people who inform me daily how huge I am or ask me, "Are you still here? You're working right up 'til the end, aren't you?" Gahhhh!

That between 20-30 weeks, I'd actually feel really, really cute.

That my lady parts would feel bruised.

How tender and sore my belly would get.

How huge my nipples would get...

This is one of them for me... or that it would happen so early. I haven't been able to properly groom myself in a few weeks!

Also that the books might be lying and I would NOT get my sex drive back during second trimester, ever, ever, ever.

How hard it actually is in multiple ways... It has been much harder than I expected, especially after still having migraines and puking since February.

one word: discharge!!

It would getting so big that I could barely wipe my backside. I've been giving serious thought to inventing some sort of butt-wiping contraption before that happens again (or hope I don't gain as much weight).

Oh the list can go on an on but first no one ever tells you that you will feel like you are leaking at all times from discharge. Then no one tells you that you will be constipated and get hemroids. And third no one tells you that your boobs will become unrecognizable.

That sometimes when I sneeze I will pee a little

That my boobs will become so big they scare my husband

That it will be very uncomfortable bending over to do anything - even when you're not big yet - tying shoes, picking things up off the floor, shaving legs - anything!

LOVE this post...

The whole Lady parts thing has been my biggest frustration....and the fact that I have to sit on the side of the tub to even shave my legs:)

The fact that i can't see my feet anymore when I look down in the shower....

That walking up stairs makes me feel like I have ran a marathon....and I used to work out every day:)

AND the fact that my boobs just aren't that cute anymore....this started a few days ago....they just like SIT on my belly now instead of being kinda cute and perky like before....I told DH, what if they NEVER go back to normal:) I am hoping once he drops a little they won't look like they do now:) hehe

all of this though is because my little man is growing healthy and strong so I try to embrace it.....even though I LONG for the days when I can actually shave standing up again:)
