10 Things No One Tells You About Pregnancy | Austin Moms Blog

Don’t take this blog the wrong way – I am OVERJOYED that I am creating a little human inside me. Seriously excited. BUT the negatives of pregnancy are strong right now and I COMPLETELY understand why some people only have one child. I did not expect the following things. At ALL.

 

1. Morning sickness is NOT just in the morning.
2. You look chubby for 4-5 months until the “bump” actually looks a like a baby bump.
3. You lose your appetite during morning sickness. Like almost completely. I miss good food.
4. Fatigue? No. Exhausted for no reason? Yes.
5. Shopping for clothes ahead of season. Not really possible.
6. 20 weeks seems short in writing, but waiting for the gender that long is unbearable.
7. Everyone asks you “How are you feeling?” EVERY time they talk to you.
8. Morning sickness + exhaustion for no reason = complete bitch. Some days I wonder why my husband sticks around.
9. Hot days outside are ten times hotter when pregnant.
10. Pimples in my mid-twenties? WTF?

Things I am loving right now are the snacks people bring helping me to gain weight. Lord knows I love some sweets! And my hair is SO full and long and growing so fast. I just need to get better soon so I can show it off. 🙂

What were some things you did not expect during pregnancy??

I love to share outfits, babies, treats and travels. My personal blog, Hi Lovely,is focused on photography, fashion and greater well-being of this new mama's life. You'll find me easily seduced by a lovely cup of coffee, a well designed hand bag or a margarita. I might be covered in baby poop one day and diamonds the next. Thus the life of a mom who blogs.
