Things No One Tells You About Pregnancy

As you all know I am Pregnant.

About 5 months exactly now.

So their are many things and changes that my body is going through.............................

CHANGES THAT NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT. 

Before I got pregnant I thought it was very different. Weird cravings, a wonderful glow, eating whatever you want, getting lots of presents for you and your baby, and BAM! nine months later out pops your wittle skittle.............Right? NO WRONG!

So Don't be alarmed but Here are a few things you will experience that no one will ever tell you about: (P.S beware this is graphic)

1) Dry Skin: 

Your little bundle of joy is taking, Not Just all your nutrients but also the majority of water in your body. SO Guess what? Your skin will dry out, and in the weirdest places. My places are my face and my hands. 

So while everyone of my other pregnant friends has a lovely glow, I have a Lovely Peel. Because Also my dry skin is peeling.

2)Your Bathroom Schedule

Of course everyone knows when your pregnant you pee a lot throughout the day. But what about at night? I wake up about 6 times at time to use the bathroom. So I get about 20 minutes of sleep in all those eight hours. It is just peachy when I have school and work the next day.

3) Ligaments Stretching

So in your body there are these things called ligaments. They are lovely because they keep your muscles and bones connected to one another. Ligaments are soft tissues. Well when you are pregnant your ligaments stretch so that your body will have room for the baby. As your uterus and your baby grow your muscles and organs separate to either side of your body tearing your ligament in the process. The best way I can describe the Oh SO Lovely feeling to you is like this: Just imagine someone sticks their hand inside your stomach and stretches it out as far as possible. Only instead of doing it quickly it takes them nine months to complete the process.

4)Gas

That's right I went there. Ladies when you have a baby you will fart at any given time and most of the time you will not know its coming. When it first happen to me I was standing in the checkout line at Walmart. 

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO RANT FOR A SECOND

Why is it that Walmart is the biggest store in the world and usually has at least 25 checkout lanes but only 3 cashiers? Can I Get An Amen!!?? Someone please explain this to me. Does every employee take their break at the same time. I Don't Understand.

So there I was in the line at Walmart with a thousand people standing around me and I let out a biggo toot. Yea My life was over at that point. I literally died where I was standing.

Now there are many other things I have experienced as a pregnant women. More things that no one told me about but I don't want to completely discourage you from having a baby. It is also a beautiful experience. Feeling the baby kick for the first time was probably my ultimate favorite life experience so far. So in the end it will all be worth it I know . But I want to make all my fellow pregnant ladies aware of what your getting into.

Now you can walk away a little more educated. If there is anything that you are experiencing or that you went through when you were pregnant that was surprising to you because no one told you about it, please comment below I'd love to hear from you.
