No One Talks about It

Every one knows that being pregnant is not always as pleasant , but the real truth is that its down right hard. Hard on your physically and emotionally, but there are so many things no one talks about but every woman should know:

1) You will not only grow in your belly, but your ass will also get huge
2) You will start to hate food because while pregnant you have to eat every 4 hours otherwise you feel sick
3) Every one knows that you ankles will swell up but for most women your hands, legs and wrists will also swell
4) You will think you have the energy to still hang out with friends through out pregnancy, but your social life will change drastically
5) If you aren't constipated then  you have diarrhea
6) Hemorrhoids during the third trimester are almost universal
7) Even if you don't wake up in the night to pee you will wake yourself up when you have to roll over since its so much harder than it was pre-pregnancy
8) Fashion will become a thing of the past because you will not have the energy for it. In the third trimester you will just be trying to cover your swollen ankles anyway
9) It can be very lonely, friends with out children don't know how to act around pregnant people so they choose not to
10) you will be exhausted every day, all the time

And yet every minute of pain and frustration is totally worth it just to feel your baby wiggle from inside, I can't even imagine the joy that comes with meeting your baby the first time! I think pregnancy is just a preview of all the sacrifices that I will continue to make for my son the rest of my life, sacrifices i will be happy to make!
