They tell you you'll have beautiful skin.

They tell you you'll have loads of energy. 

They tell you you'll love being pregnant. 

They tell you it's such a joy to carry another human. 

So on, and so forth. The list could go on and on. 

They don't tell you you'll be sick continually, not being able to eat for days at times. They don't tell you you'll have your 12 year old acne back. They don't tell you, that you actually have no energy. They forget to mention all the aches and pains your body endures with no engery whatsoever. Preterm labor, or any other pregnancy complication isn't brought up in the beginning to not "scare you". They don't really mention the process of c section. 

Yes, it's a joy to be able to carry my little girl, and I do love being pregnant. The long nights and days are getting to me. I don't even know what day or the week or date it is anymore. My feet hurt the second I get up out of bed. I haven't had any energy since day 1 of this pregnancy. Preterm labor is the absolute worst. I blame myself day after day. It's my fault my body doesn't want her. 

Through all these issues and complains, I wouldn't trade a day in the world to bring her precious life into this crazy insane world 😊
