10 harsh truths about pregnancy

Pregnancy is truly a miracle – it brings new experiences that you learn and enriches your life with things you never knew existed. However, through this article, you will also learn some rather harsh truths about it!

1. Whether your pregnancy was planned or unexpected, the moment you see two lines on your pregnancy test, your life will change completely.

Many people probably think that the feeling of knowing you're pregnant should be overwhelming joy. However, not a few women find themselves feeling empty and confused at that moment, not knowing what to do next, who to share this important news with…

2. Morning sickness! Every morning you experience the unpleasant feeling of morning sickness during pregnancy. The best way to reduce this feeling is to eat something.

But who will make you sandwiches? Or who will fry eggs or cook rice for you? Because doing these things would make you feel incredibly nauseous, and you might not even be able to swallow them afterward.

3. In the first few weeks, before your belly starts to grow, you'll be thrilled and excited to see your attractive breasts – something you've probably always dreamed of. You'll look in the mirror and smile happily. Your husband will also find you more attractive than ever.

However, the bad thing is that you will feel extremely uncomfortable and possibly quite pained when he touches your breasts because your chest area becomes more sensitive than ever at this time.

4. For many women, pregnancy is a time when they feel constantly sleepy. They can fall asleep at any time, and may sleep for 12 hours straight. But it is also during this period that the fetus puts pressure on the bladder, causing them to constantly wake up to urinate.

5. Next, and this might be the worst part! You're not allowed to touch a single drop of alcohol or even soda throughout your pregnancy. Your birthday party is great, everyone's clinking glasses and having fun, and all you get is a glass of water.

6. Your toenail polish is starting to chip, and you can't bend down to paint your nails anymore because your belly is too big. Never ask your husband to paint your toenails; he'll mess it up. It's best to go to a salon or ask a close friend to do it for you.

7. You may often feel full of energy and enthusiastic about anything; however, there will also be times when you suffer from unexplained headaches that leave you feeling exhausted and wanting to just lie around all day.

8. Your emotions fluctuate wildly. One fine day, you suddenly want your husband to compliment you on how beautiful you still are. And thankfully, you have a very understanding husband; he immediately realizes, "Honey, I think you look more beautiful than ever!"

And then you suddenly feel angry thinking, "He's probably just trying to comfort me; because I look so fat with this belly and everything on my body has suddenly become so oversized!"

9. When your belly is getting a bit big and you want to go out for dinner to treat yourself and cheer yourself up a little, you suddenly realize that those beautiful shoes you've always loved are too tight and you can't squeeze your feet into them anymore.

10. Finally, your little angel has arrived. All the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy quickly disappear: no more headaches, no more backaches, your legs have returned to their pre-pregnancy size. The strangest thing is that sometimes, as you watch your baby sleeping peacefully in their crib, you suddenly reach down and gently rub your belly where they've been for the past nine months. Oh, it turns out you're missing your pregnancy so much.
