Pregnancy's Best Kept Secrets

ooobedoo

When I was pregnant with my son, I was in a restaurant and the woman behind the counter asked how far along I was, I replied I was 7 months, and she went 'oh love...your massive' I cried!!! There was some truth in it though, I did put 4 stone on. If it stayed still long enough I would eat it, and if it didn't, I would eat it till it was still.......!!!!!:eek:

Girls, girls, girls,

I'm scared to death!:eek: :eek: I don't have children, and I'm very glad I've discovered this post (while reading through the 'post of the month' nominations;)). Your discussion hasn't put me off having a baby, but it has made me think of pregnancy in more realistic terms, I guess. It's amazing nobody tells you about the pains, the bleeding, no to mention the embarassing details. It's great to know what to expect, and to know that, if these things happen to you, you're not the only one to have ever been in that situation.

I've learnt so much from your post. Thank you, thank you, thank you!:beer:

Oh my god where do I start

1. The constent vomiting from 6 weeks to 22 weeks.
2. The horrific stretch marks that appeared despite the excessive amounts of body lotion massaged into my stomach
3. The fact that they didnt beleive I was in active labour because according to the protocol 1st time mums dont dilate from 1cm to 10cm under 2 hours.
4. The on going pain from not having a stich put in when DD decided to come out doing an impression of superman with one hand above her head.
5. The on going amazement of having created this perfect human being.

I thought of another thing they don't tell you.......how you will walk round with dodgy shaved legs as you can't reach them properly

And long toe nails with chipped nail varnish.

i'm seven months preg at the mo and i sleep with a body pillow under my bump, i have learned to roll over holding on to it and when i rolled over this morning i pushed OH off the bed! i nearly wet myself laughing
also didn't realise how bl**dy painful it is when baby engages and stick their feet under your ribs and spend all day kicking you!!

Heather, that is so funny. Apparently I 'hog' the whole bed as it is, and my poor DH clings on for dear life.....oh and apparently I snore REALLY badly since becoming pregnant.....funny thing is he has been wearng ear plugs since I was pregnant with the first...hmmmmm.

I normally sleep next to the wall, when he returned a month ago he was made up as I had to sleep next to the door(the side of the bed near the door) as I have to get up to wee in the night, I have been timing my drinks so I don't need to do that now. He has been making me drinks so I have to get up in the night so he can have that side of the bed back....sneaky!! I'm on to him now!
