what is the worst thing about pregnancy, that people DON'T tell you?

Question

i think the most annoying thing i found that people didn't tell me, is the fact you have to wear a bra 24 hours a day for a couple of weeks!!!!!

Answer 1

No... it HAS to be when you actually deliver and the nurses keep pressing down on your uterus to make sure all the afterbirth is out... and then they keep waking you thru the night and morning to do it again and again UGH.... be prepared...you SO want to punch them in the face!

Answer 3

Nobody warned me about back labor, or the fact that your tail bone can actually be broken when delivering your baby. The pain from the back labor was so horrible, then my tail bone took almost 6 months to heal! And how the Dr.'s and nurses come in and have to look at your nether regions every few hours after you deliver! No such thing as dignity in any of it, but it's all worth it when you get to hold your sweet little baby!

Answer 4

When your milk supply comes in your breast hurt really bad and get rock hard. My son was kept at the hospital for 5 days because of high bilirubin levels. I woke in the middle of the night in pain and crying because I needed to nurse. I ended up in the shower instead and popping tylenol. Also I had a major episiotomy incision with him so it hurt like hell to have a bm. My second delivery was a piece of cake compared to the first.

Answer 5

The worse thing no one told me?
Having to sleep sitting up. LOL
With my second baby, I was so huge I couldn't sleep for the last three weeks of my pregnancy.

Oh wait, also that babies don't care what your plans are! Baby #2 had NO plans of leaving! He had to be dragged into this world kicking and screaming (literally!).

Answer 6

For regaular birth not a caesarian birth... Worst thing is that they have to cut your skin outside the vagina so the baby can come out... it freak me out!!! but hey doc say you wont feel a thing and they will fix the cut after that..

Answer 7

The end

Answer 8

if the baby comes to fast and by the time you get to the hospital and they can not give you anything for the pain. THAT was the WORST feeling in the world!

Answer 9

I think the worst thing is the terrible pain you go through having the baby.

Answer 10

Wait until you're breastfeeding - if you're large-chested at all, you'll have to wear one 24/7 again! I'm 4 mo post-partum and still do!
