What are some things you found out during pregnancy that nobody tells you about?
Before you ever get pregnant, people make it sound like it's all sugar and flowers. They dont tell you about weird stuff like itchy nipples, weird discharge, vivid dreams and all the weird things that go on with your body. When you're sick in the first trimester, they lie and say you'll feel better at 12 weeks.
And i was horrified when I realised you have to also push out a placenta after all the hard work of labour haha
And I found out your hair thins a few months after the birth?!
I know so many mothers, I'm fab with babies and kids, but clueless about the truth of pregnancy.
So second, third, fourth time mothers, enlighten us first timers. I want to know the truth about what to expect, not just "oh it's so wonderful when you finally hold your baby" or about the so called pregnancy glow.
