fun post!

Okay ladies, since pregnancy is more intense on some women than others, I decided to do a fun-post!

What do you wish you would have known(about pregnancy) before you got pregnant?

I'll go first! I wish someone would have told me about being SO picky over food, whenever I would have eaten anything pre-pregnancy.

To the ones who also pee themselves... It doesn't go away after the pregnancy... When you laugh too hard or sneeze without "holding it" it still happens lol... And one day 3 years after the birth of my son, my 14 year old step son wanted me to jump on the trampoline with him so I'm like yeah this should be fun! But ummmm after the first three jumps gravity took over and I was headed to my room for a change of clothes!  It's all worth it though!

how the world completely changes before your eyes and how deeply you fall in love with your little baby. best thing i have ever done was become a mother. sadly there are no words to describe the beauty and perfection of the love i have for my children. guess that is why no one ever told me about it, cause there are no words. ; )

There is a ton, but mostly how your vag will actually look different and even hurt from all the extra blood in your body.
