what no one tells you about pregnancy

Question

today i am 16 weeks pregnant. today i cried in the shower. nobody tells you....

-you won't be able to shave your own lady bits without using a mirror or asking for help.

-that all of a sudden weird little black whiskers will pop out of places like your nipples or chin.

-that your feet will ache and crack no matter how much moisturizer you use.

-that the one way you found to sleep comfortably the night before probably won't work the following night.

-that you'll not have a worry about gaining weight till the second trimester and then every day after that will be a surprise (not the good kind)

-that stretch marks will outweigh freckles at some point. maybe not if you're lucky.

-that you'll make a delicious meal and after you sit down and have the first bite, your stomach will tell your brain it's distrusting and you'll eat cereal for dinner AGAIN.

-that you'll go pee and as soon as you leave the bathroom it will feel like you have to pee again. and you do.

this is just my experience so far. i don't regret even for a second getting pregnant, but my last pregnancy was 8 years ago and boy is it hard this time around.

Answer

That your face will break out. That you may throw up throughout your entire pregnancy. That you will worry almost constantly about every little thing. That pregnancy dreams are NO JOKE. That you'll get monster headaches. That your underwear will look like you blew your nose in them (sorry to be so graphic!). That you will get sunburnt a lot more easily. That you might not "glow" but more like "glisten" from hot flash sweat. That you'll need 47 pillows to sleep at night. 
Hope you don't mind me adding to your list! I've been saying for months that no one talks about this stuff! So glad you brought it up 😂

Answer

That you'll have no control over your bodily functions, such as gas. That you'll literally be out of breath just from walking to the bathroom. That your boobs and nipples will hurt so bad in the first trimester that just looking at them, makes them angry. That you'll randomly cry for no reason, which will cause you to cry harder. That you'll feel like a turtle on its shell every time you try to get out of bed to pee, again. Oh I could go on and on. But I wouldn't change it. Just ready to meet this little guy! 💙

Answer

All of these are sooooo legit!

Answer

That your boobs will start leaking possibly even before your third trimester. That your hair might change in texture.

Im laughing reading this, I don't know if it's because I can relate or because it's scary lol. I love this post! It's my second pregnancy and my body hates me because it thought we were done seeing baby #1 was almost 11 years ago... ugh. Come on little man just grow and be healthy lol... 💕💕

Answer

Losing control of your bladder while throwing up 😒 the first trimester was hell. I'd pee, then turn around and throw up and basically pee all over myself while throwing up.. 😂
