About Pregnancy

So I guess the first step in having a baby is getting pregnant, (I'll skip that chapter since I am sure many people may not share those funny stories.)
However, once you are pregnant.

What are some things that no one ever told you?

Here's a list of some things I came up with: (yes, they might be embarassing, but hey if I don't tell y'all, who will?)


You'd be gassy
You'd have to go potty all the time, but sometimes you'd think, "that's it?"
You'd have squirts
You can't roll the same in bed
Forget sleeping on your tummy
You'd find BM's to be different
You'll answer the same 3-4 questions to everyone who notices you're pregnant,
"how are you feeling?"
"when are you due?"
"do you know what you're having?" and "do you have a name picked out?"
Everyone will feel it's okay to now touch you
You're hair grows thicker, everywhere
What is okay and not okay to eat
Cravings are not what you think
Being naseated is not like being on the ocean, I'd much rather be there

What else? I know there are a lot of embarassing things. If you don't feel comfortable commenting here, email me at

About Baby's

Last December Chris and I lost everything on our computer. I had started to write a humorous book about labor/delivery and having a newborn, and the things that noone evey tells you. Either becuase they don't want to scare you, or it's too gross, embarassing, or taboo. My mother is also in the generation where you just don't really talk about those things. So I was left by myself to figure it all out. I am a very open person, I am not afraid to share things, or ask things of people, I do try to stay in line, but I know that there are so many thing I wish I would have known about before going through it, that I have decided to write a book. I will post questions and discussions and I would LOVE to have lots of participation.
I know I am not the best writter, but I love to tell story's, so don't worry, someone else will be doing the editing.
Thank you
