GO!
- Morning sickness doesn't always happen in the morning.
- You will not see your girly bits for a long time, but everyone who ever worked in the maternity ward of the hospital will!
- Your boobs will rival Dolly Pardon shortly.

You'll have the frame of mind of an early Alzheimer's patient...
You'll pee your pants if you sneeze too hard, laugh too hard, or feel even the slightest breeze...0 -
How incredibly odd it feels to have no energy! There's tired, and there's, "Wake me up in two years."0

- Flatulence is a way of life while you're pregnant.0

Oh man the pregnancy brain! With the last one I lost my car keys for THREE DAYS. Found them in the garage lol.
No one told me....the after birth stuff -
- the bleeding that last forever
- sitting hurt!0 -
Yeah, no one told me that my stomach would feel like a science experiment and that I would be able to out-fart my husband AND his brother.0

I am very fair skinned so when DD was born I almost had a heart attack when I saw that my once pinkish areolas were dark chocolate! And that the bright red tiger like scratches were actually stretch marks!! Found it hard to believe that with time both colors would fade lol Also the hair loss after giving birth!!!! But this time around I'm actually shedding during the pregnancy hopefully I won't go completely bald after I give birth lol0
-
That you have the craziest, most vivid dreams0
-
-That it will feel like your vag is getting struck by lightening
-That you WILL pee your pants. Even if it's just a little.
-Getting out of bed is a chore
-When you try to sit yourself up, your belly looks freaky and scary!
-Not just heartburn.... but HEARTBURN0 -
- You have earned a gold medal in farting.0
-
that epidurals can stop working on HALF of your body right before you have to push! (I laid on that side that was feeling pain to "start it back up") Thank goodness it kicked in a bit after and RIGHT before push time. Good thing too because I had always planned on getting epidural and not going drug free!0
-
That braxton-hicks contractions start so soon... I've had them since 15 weeks, up to 15 per day (got checked out many times, nothing is wrong, its normal-for-me). 27 weeks now and sick of em!0
-
- that constipation can hit badly even if you eat TONS of fibre, exercise and drink plenty of water
- that nasal congestion and nose bleeds are actually normal!
- that you favourite scented candles, perfumes and husbands aftershave will smell SO bad!!
- that you may experience a strong metalic taste in your mouth when you eat0 -
But on the plus side, the bigger my belly gets, the smaller my thighs look!0

I once read the "confessions" of a L&D nurse, and she was saying that they are grossed out when women come in all ungroomed down there. I am NOT about to get my hoo-ha waxed, sorry, and unless you're shaving me, you'll just have to deal with it! A lady can only do so much with a sharp object and a sensitive part of her body blindly. Mirrors don't help much, either.0 -

LOL! Same here. I normally keep that area nice and tidy, but I can't even shave my legs on my own now. They can deal with it.0 -

Question: Do you know...If you don't come in waxed, do they shave you? This is largely going to determine whether or not I make an appointment to get waxed soon-ish. The idea of someone coming near that area with a razor is TERRIFYING to me.0 -
That you have to take potty breaks to run more than 2 miles.0
-
-That heartburn is super bad!
-That you can puke during labor and you feel like you're splitting in half!
-That it's REALLY hard to put on shoes in the third trimester.
-Hm...that people do perineum stretching to get ready for labor...
-I'm sure there is other stuff I'm forgetting, but that's what stood out to me.0 -

They don't shave you.
But I imagine if you roll in with some serious jungle action - they might tame it back ... Like for stretching,tearing,stitching purposes. But I think it would have to be a really epic bush for that to happen.0 -

I think it varies!!!!!! Recently a couple girlfriends and I were talking and they were saying their doctors had mentioned something about making sure to shave or trim (not sure which) or else they would do it for them! Haha no way I'd let them go near me in that way! Lol0 -

I gave up and bought slip-on shoes.0 -

If my midwife comes near my vagina with a razor while I'm giving birth, I will kick her.0 -
That you could get stuck with an epidural needle 13 times, including feeling it jam against your vertebra, and once they finally "get it in", it still doesn't work! Which is why this time I will be going au naturale in a birthing center instead, since I know what it feels like anyway!0

No they don't! When I was preggo with my son, I attended prenatal class offered my hospital, and this question was explicitly asked, and the l&d nurse said NO. She said it doesn't matter and they don't care. Some women go there with full bush, others go with Brazilian, but t doesn't matter either way. I went to give birth with barely trimmed with my previous aby, and there was no mention about it. I never had a wax down there, and i am not going to do that at 9 month preggo. I usually shave there , but in the 3rd trimester that is mission impossible.

However, it is very location specific. I am originally from eastern Europe, and I know back there they shave you and give you enema. In Canada , they do not do either of those , at least nt in this province.0 -

Wow, I would think that after maybe the second attempt, they would get someone else. Clearly that person had no idea what they were doing.0
