The things they never told you...
Just something fun to do!
List the things that nobody ever told you about pregnancy. The weird things that happen to your body, the cravings, the way you might feel, etc.

Re: The things they never told you...
I never knew I'd have this much trouble sleeping at night. The hip pain is a surprise to me.
As a side note, there's a few things I was never told and still don't know...like where does the baby's pee and poo go while he or she is inside me?

Re: The things they never told you...
Constipation.
Drinking a ridiculous amount of water for a sono.
Having a test that involved intimacy with my rectum This one I'm still scared about!
I'm sure there is more but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Well, according to this thread posted yesterday, there is a test involving a slight sweep of the rectal area.

Yep, they swab it with a q-tip.
I didn't realize that I was going to look like a raccoon with the mask of pregnancy on my face.

Re: The things they never told you...
Oh these posts are always good...
-how much your nips change, oh boy did they change!
-how every single task you do that you take for granted becomes more difficult... putting on shoes and socks, bending down to pick up something, etc
-charlie horses! I never knew about these guys, but the worst feeling ever is being awoke from a deep sleep to excrutiating pain in your calf!
-how annoying the insomnia is, esp. at the end. You are big and exhausted and all you want to do is sleep, and your body won't let you!
-sleeping (when you can actually sleep) is hard to do when you can no longer find a comfortable position- can't sleep on your stomach, for obvious reasons, and you can't sleep on your back because the baby is crushing your lungs, so the sides are the only available spots which leaves you tossing and turning all night sometimes!
-how many people will bother you- constantly giving you advice, constantly telling you what to do, constantly touching your belly! ugghh

Dry eyes and dry nose (leading to nose bleeds).
Also, that putting on shoes becomes a killer task.

The hip pain, the leg cramps, the moodiness (very early on)...
Oh and all the appointments and tests you have to go through!
