Pregnancy
Most pregnant women start reading pregnancy books as soon as they find out that they are pregnant. They want to know everything that they should expect throughout the pregnancy. You can learn a lot from a book, including the things that you should do while pregnant, the things that you should avoid while pregnant, and what to expect month by month. Most pregnant women find that there are things about pregnancy that aren’t in books. Here are 29 crazy things no one tells you about pregnancy.
You Will Fart More than Boys
When you are pregnant, you are going to have more gas than you have ever had before. When you are pregnant, be prepared for farts to come out whenever and wherever even at the most inopportune times.
You Will Gag When You Open the Refrigerator
Everyone knows that pregnancy causes morning sickness, but it isn’t actually morning sickness. It should be called round-the-clock sickness. When you are pregnant, every smell will make you sick, especially the combination of scents when you open the refrigerator.
You Will Feel Like You’ve Been Shot With a Horse Tranquilizer
Everyone knows that pregnancy can wear you out, but until you are pregnant, you don’t know how bad it can be. Pregnancy makes you tired all day, even after taking a three-hour nap.
Your House Will Be a Mess
When you are pregnant, you are going to be too tired to do anything. If you work, you will need to rest the second you get home. This will result in none of the housework getting done.
You Will Wonder If You Already Hurt Your Baby
When many women find out that they are pregnant, they worry about the drinking that they did in the weeks before you found out. You shouldn’t worry, though. It takes 6 to 12 days for the embryo to attach to the uterus. Back in the 70s, our mothers drank a bit even during pregnancy. Try to relax; your baby will be fine.
You Will Lie Like Its Your Job
Most women don’t want to announce their pregnancy until after the first trimester. During this time, you will need to lie to everyone about your big boobs, weight gain, and the fact that you can’t drink.
Beyond Emotional
Women produce more estrogen during pregnancy than they will during their entire lives. This can leave you an emotional, weeping mess throughout your entire pregnancy.

When you are pregnant, there will be increased blood flow to your breast tissue. This can make it feel like someone has been punching you in the boobs all day.
You Will Pee More Than a Great Dane
When you are pregnant, you will pee all day long. If you aren’t close to a bathroom, expect to pee your pants. Every pregnant woman does it at least once during her pregnancy.
You Will Have Trouble Pooping
The raging progesterone in your body when you are pregnant will slow your digestion. The foods that you crave also won’t help with digestion. This will make it very hard to poop every day.

After the first trimester is over, the nausea, vomiting, and fatigue will end. This is enough to make you jump for joy.
Your Gums Will Bleed

Tossing and Turning
When you are pregnant, you won’t be able to sleep on your back. It can be hard to get comfortable, and you are going to toss and turn all night.
A Nose That is as Dry as the Sahara Desert

Sometimes, your baby will kick, and it will feel like gas. This is great because sometimes it is nice not to pass gas in public.

When you are far along, even the smallest movements will leave you winded. Fear not, when the baby comes, you will get your energy back.
You Will Be Hairier Than a Chinchilla
The increase in androgen in your body will cause hair to grow in places that it shouldn’t. If you start seeing hair around your belly button or nipple, don’t worry. When your hormones balance out after you have the baby, the hair will go away.
You Will Itch All Over
When you are pregnant, your skin will dry out and tighten up. This can cause your body to itch continuously. Your belly, back, boobs, and even your hooha will itch like crazy.
