Mom's Answer: The Most Surprising Thing About Being Pregnant.
We asked Moms our our Facebook Page, "What was the the most surprising thing about being pregnant is/ was...."
Here's what they said.
"I craved dirt the last couple of weeks. I had heard of bizarre cravings before but always sort of thought it was made up or just happened to crazy people."
"The night sweats afterwards!! 😩😩😩"
"Feeling him progress with his kicks. I will miss that!"
The comments on their body a lot of Moms found very annoying.
"How comfortable people feel commenting on your body...or touching it. 'you’re huge!' 'Your face is swollen now!' 'You’re about to pop...ohhh you have 2 months left??' 'Is it twins?!' 😂"
"People coming up to you saying. . You are fat.. or are you sure you having one. .or your baby is going to be so big that you won't be able to push her out"
A few Moms had surprising medical issues...yikes!
"Carpal tunnnel. Can't feel my right hand!!"
"Having no cervix left at 23 weeks and being air flighted to a bigger hospital to have surgery to try to keep baby in. It was successful. She stayed in 8.5 weeks. I had her at 31 weeks and 4 days. She is my miricle baby."
"Breast cysts"
But there were also many positive comments.
"Loving being pregnant! I was 9 months pregnant and could have gone longer with him in there...lol. I absolutely adored the way I felt emotionally, the way I felt and looked physically. Makes me want to do it again just thinking about it!"
