Oh, the joys of pregnancy. Don’t get me wrong-I understand that I am BLESSED to be pregnant, and that I have had a relatively uncomplicated pregnancy so far. This baby is a blessing for sure … I just want that someone had prepared me for the unanticipated parts of pregnancy that nobody ever discusses … unless it’s to another pregnant lady =-RRB-
Now not ALL of these are mine … I asked some other pregnant buddies about their experiences too. So … here are 30 things no one ever informed you about pregnancy!
1. Hemorrhoids. They suck. Go stock up on some Preparation H. It will be a life saver!
2. Things Growing on Your Body that will need to be removed by a skin specialist. This never ever happened prior to … apparently incredibly common during pregnancy!
3. Pressing Hunger that will make you get 17 pounds in a month. Woah.
4. Yearnings for Foods You Haven’t Consumed in Years. Like making your partner drive 45 minutes each way to get you a Cinnabon when you have not even had one since you were a little woman.
5. Stomach Button Popping Out. It’s going to feel and look odd … get over it.
6. You’ll Get Fatter in Places Aside From Your Stomach. Do not you want you could be that charming pregnant lady that’s absolutely nothing but tummy? Yea me too.
7. Lightheadedness that will make you sit down in the middle of Lowes, the supermarket, any public place where you get overheated and woozy because you have ZERO control over your body temperature level any longer.
8. LIGHTENING CROTCH that will stop you dead in your tracks. Seriously, what WAS that? OUCH!
9. Baby Kicking You in the Ribs. Yes, your infant is growing … and is discovering new and strange places to kick you in. Embrace it because those kicks are just going to get more difficult.
10 Dripping Body Parts. Like your boobs … absurd quantities of discharge … and peeing your trousers when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or move.
11 Emotional Roller Coasters. Your poor spouse. One minute you more than happy as can be, the next minute you’re a blubbering mess. Chalk it as much as those darn pregnancy hormones.
12 Acid Reflux that will BURN and make you feel like your esophagus is on FIRE! Tums will be your friend … ensure not to leave your house without some!
13 Absurd Dreams that will make you think you’re going crazy … like last night I was getting chased by a camel. No joke.
14 PUPPS. You may get a beast rash on your entire body … and because you’re pregnant you can’t take anything strong enough to assist. Sorry, that actually sucks.
15 Gas Like go out your gas mask bad. Oh, and you won’t be able to manage it either. Your bad hubby gets the impact of a number of these, huh?
16 The desire to go to the bathroom NOW … at any time you get in a store or restaurant familiarize yourself with the bathrooms ASAP. And NEVER go on a long drive (or any drive for that matter …) without peeing right prior to you leave … and then any time you see a rest stop simply stop and go! You don’t understand when the next one is going to be and it could be a VERY LONG TIME!
17 Feeling anxiety about everything. Is whatever OKAY?? Is the child kicking enough? Too much? Am I getting adequate veggies? What do I need to add on my computer system registry? Cloth diapers or non reusable? Was that baby crib remembered? You understand.
18 Reduced immune system that will result in the worst health problem you have actually had in years … and again, since you’re pregnant you’ve just got ta draw it up and sleep it off.
19 Nosebleeds that will make you think you’re bleeding to death. Sometimes daily.
20 Never ever being able to sleep again. And you thought pregnancy would give you an opportunity to rest up before the baby came … between the peeing every 10 minutes, problems, leg cramps and neck and back pain, all the best!
21 Extreme sweating/change in body temperature. I need to sleep with the fan on me now … while my husband has the space heating unit on his side …
22 Leg Cramps. You might awaken in the middle of the night shouting from pain. And after that begin searching for the closest knife to cut off your leg. Obviously that’s totally normal too (not cutting off the leg … that I know of … )
23 Joint Pain. The hormonal agent relaxin looses up all of your joints making a few of them hurt !! Ever heard of carpal tunnel? Super common during pregnancy.
24 Sciatic Discomfort. Pain in the butt, actually, that will make it almost difficult for some to stroll. Discover an excellent chiropractic physician!
25 Veins On the boobs, butt, and stomach. They aren’t pretty.
26 Getting Winded Quickly. Your lung capacity will DIMINISH and you’ll barely have the ability to get a sentence out without wheezing towards completion.
27 Projectile Vomiting While Peeing Your Pants. This one may be my preferred … something to anticipate =-RRB-
28 Body Smell I think it’s simply cause you have actually a heightened sense of smell so you can smell yourself much better … you might not like what you smell!
29 Flaky, Dry Skin. Especially on your scalp. Coconut oil works marvels!
30 Itchy Nipples. Self explanatory. Hmmmm I question if coconut oil deals with those too!
Did you experience any of these? Can you add to this list?
