Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman’s life. She becomes a vessel for another human being, helping to grow and nurture a tiny baby until he or she is ready to make their grand debut. It is truly incredible – nothing short of a miracle.
But let’s get real for a minute – it’s not all roses. I feel more confident saying this now, as this is my third time through the experience, and I wish that someone had told me about the good AND the not-so-good aspects of pregnancy before my first. At the risk of sounding like I’m complaining (and maybe I am), I just can’t hold my tongue any longer on the surprises of pregnancy that complement the wonders.
I am excited to have my first post featured on Busy Mommy Media today, a great parenting resource that sets out to make moms’ lives easier through child-rearing tips, meal ideas, hacks, and more. Head over to read about the downsides of pregnancy that nobody talks about!
Pregnancy sucks! It was awful for me! Painful, uncomfortable, limited my ability to bond with my toddler, worth it for my son but pregnancy can be awful for some.
Yes! I hear you! And I feel guilty complaining but really – for me – it can be pretty awful.
I hated being pregnant. The first time I was sick all the time. The second was so complicated and full of risk, I couldn’t enjoy any of it. Congratulations on having your post featured.
Thanks Shann! I can so relate to your pregnancy experience. I wish more people would talk about the downsides.
its a good post for awareness. specially those poor women who have no idea about it. you write well 🙂
Thank you!
WILL INFORM MY FEMALE FRIENDS ABOUT THIS, EXPECTING MOTHERS AND THE REST…

I read your article and it’s so true! For me, the exhaustion was the one that really caught me unprepared. I also thought that I will catch up on sleep once the baby was born. I was very, very wrong.
Ah yes… The lovely lack of sleep that starts for mothers well before the baby is even born. Going through it now – as I sit here on my phone trying to keep my eyes open. 🙂
Pregnancy is definitely not a cosy ride, its nine whole months of being hella uncomfortable but so totally worth all the inconvenience
Yes! So worth it in the end, but those months leading up to it…
Hair falling is one of big problem during pregnancy. I just want to know how long does my hair falling out after pregnancy.
Ah good point! This lasted months for me each time and then took forever to grow back afterwards!
