Things nobody warned you about pregnancy?

Everyone's pregnancy is different. And noone goes through the same thing. What are some things people didn't warn you about pregnancy and what are some symptoms you had or body changes you had during pregnancy?

Stress incontinence, dry flaky/crusty nipples, peeing 10 million times at night, worrying if you're going to fail as a mom, questioning your partner because you are self conscious and don't feel pretty anymore, not being able to tie your own shoes/paint your toenails...

How I don't want to eat. I'm not sick. Not nauseated. Food is just nothing to me. I don't want to eat any actual food anymore because I think it all sounds bleah. Think of a food you're not a fan of but youll eat if you have to- that is basically all food to me. I'm 14 weeks and have been like this the whole time.

I wasn't warned about SO many things. I'm 19 and married and thought I couldn't have kids so I didn't educate myself on pregnancy. I had NO idea how sick you get. I knew about morning sickness but I thought it last a couple hours in the day and it'd last for maybe a week or two. NO THATS NOT IT. Lol I had it till 21 weeks as it lasted all day, all night. No one told me about the constant back pains. Or the low immune system so you get infections easily (I'm prone to UTI's). No one told me about being tired a lot and being out of breath just by getting dressed in the morning. No one told me about severe leg cramps and how you can't take literally any kind of medicine (that works) for the headaches that you get. But something people have said that nobody NEEDED to tell me is how worth it all this pain and sickness is. All I have to do is hear her little heartbeat and you don't even think about it anymore.
