What They Don't Tell You About Pregnancy

There's a few things no one ever bothers to tell you about pregnancy. Well I'm about to shed some light on a few of the random side effects.

Don't sneeze with a half full bladder. If by chance I sneeze chances are I am going to pee my pants at the same time. If there is ANYTHING in your bladder a few drops always end up sneaking out. Which isn't much but its definetly enough to make you super uncomfortable, especially if you are out and about or at work.

Baby likes to roll way down there. It's by far one of the strangest sensations. It's almost like she's rolling over your bowels and trust me it is uncomfortable. I can always tell when baby is putting pressure down there because I feel like im going literally crap my pants. Or let out one heck of a fart. It's one of those feelings that stops you in your tracks.

Everyone knows that babies like to kick your bladder while in the womb. Which is fine. But there's no better feeling than being kicked or punched in your cervix. It's instant pain. Trust me it's not fun at all.

Then there's good old fashioned exhaustion. It can hit you like a ton of bricks. One minute you feel fine the next your begging for a nap. Even if you have or have not been active or productive that day.

Then the dreaded belly button pain! OMG! Apparently your belly button is a weak spot in your stomach which leads to the odd belly button attack. I dread when those happen but am thankful that they don't last all day.

Even tho all of this seems negative, I am by no means trying to be. There are a lot of wonderful feelings and sensations that come with carrying a baby. All I know is I can not wait for my little girl to get here and hopefully have the natural birth I desire. Cherish every moment. Time fly's way too fast. Sit back, relax and enjoy. I know I'm going to look back and laugh about how often I had to change my tidy-whities due to sneezing and peeing my pants. :)
