10 REAL THINGS that happen in pregnancy.. According to ME!

Its a long stint being pregnant, being told that your only going to be nine months pregnant seems like it could be easy but for me nine months has dragged out so much it may as well of been nine years! (I'm only six months through) so i thought i would share 10 REAL THINGS THAT HAPPEN when your pregnant, according to me

Granted some women could be lucky and get nothing and others could be suffering with more but for me these are REAL things.

1. You no longer have control of your bladder - its now a baby toy! 
2. Morning sickness doesn't always happen in the morning and your not always sick - 5-8pm like clockwork from week 5 to week 16! 
3. Constantly hungry and still never feeling satisfied! Yes they say your eating for two but in reality your just eating for the baby, they leave you the leftovers!
4. Missing caffeine , so not only is it recommended you limit your intake of caffeine if your like me you will miss it so much but thats ok - Decaf is a thing... and your Starbucks orders will still taste the same! 
5. Aches and pains around your lower back; this is something i have only experienced the past month but anything with your lower back speak to your midwife or doctor and see if you can be seen by a specialist!
6. Naps are the best things ever, don't even feel bad - your working so hard to grow a human... if you need an extra hour or three DO IT! you'll feel like a new woman (kind of)
7. Weight gain is something i didnt want to happen but it does... you forget your growing a human being and your bodies changing and your clothes aren't fitting - thats why maternity wear was created - but it will go! I was told the other day your body carries an extra 40% of blood? I think thats enough to justify some weight!
8. Food aversion is a weird one; i had an aversion to sweet potatoes and cream cheese based food (carbonara) and pasta... basically Pasta based meals were not a thing for me anymore and even tho it eases up i still don't enjoy eating pasta unless its cold? Weird! but thats pregnancy! 
9. Sense of smell goes mad and you will find it could be a trigger for nausea but it does go away I PROMISE! plus you get out of doing the nitty gritty household chores like the bins and the other half can do the cooking because some food just stinks!! I hated the smell of meat cooking! 
10. Food cravings, you will crave some food more then others! for me it was mash potato and doritos.. at one point i wanted mash potatoes and peanut butter (i couldn't do it but the urge was there)
    

What have you been suffering with that i might of missed!?

Comment!
