I mean things you did not expect it, about your body or mind or whatever which surprise you.

I expected stretch marks, because I already had them on my boobs and butt and hips from developping so fast as a young teen...but the new ones I have on my thighs and above my hips is unreal...soooo DEEP. It's gross.
I didn't even think one would get them on the thighs..but i guess rapid weight gain on any part of the body with skin must stretch. It's soo gross. From my crotch to my knee it's like a zebra...and I'm not a big woman. I'm tall and only 140s. It just looks so disgusting.

Also with the hormones so crazy, I cried a lot...I doubted my mothering abilities a lot, I was just nutso for the first couple months..but things mellowed out and I had a great pregnancy, and my little boy just turned two last month...things are good.

Losing 15 pds instead of gaining it..My doctor said it was normal as long as I was healthy but it really scared me but I did it with both my kids in the first 2 months of pregnancy..I only weight 97 pds when I gave birth to my son..But I did break even I guess.The first 2 months I lost 15 pds but gain 17 back the next 7 did the same with my daughter.She was my first and with her at birth I came in at a big 102...But my children were both 6 pds and 6 oz..And then another thing was the not know whether I was gonna have to have a C-Section..They told me even before I got pregnant it my kids ever weight more then 6 pds I would..So when I went to losing that weight I was afraid the knife was coming but it didn't ..Child Birth what a experience...

This is my second pregnancy-I am 21 weeks. The first time I had no symptoms no sickness-nothing, I was happy all the time and it was great. This time I was sick for the first 3 months and over-reacted to EVERYTHING. I have been so emotional it is unreal. But things are starting to taper off and I am feeling like a normal person again...just a little larger.

That would definately be the sciatica I got in my hips. The pain was so bad, I literally could not get up to even go to the bathroom without help. Although, after I was up for awhile, the pain would ease up somewhat, so I could at least function. At least it was only that bad for the last 2 months or so. The 2 1/2 months of morning (all day ) sickness I had was nothing compared to that!

I loved my pregnancy. But I did not expect to have my tail bone broken during delivery. And I did not expect the "baby blues" even though I knew about them. I cried at everything after I had my baby, and this went on for a few weeks. I was so happy and so sad at the same time.

The absolute worst thing was sciatica. I had horrible pain from about my seventh month until a couple of weeks before I delivered. I visited our chiropractor a couple of times and that helped some, but not for long. The pain ran from the small of my back down my tush and down my thigh nearly to my knee. There were times when I couldn't walk, move or sleep it was so bad.
It's funny, in a way, though... our daughter started being a pain in my tush before she even got here!

Well... I have to pee every ten seconds haha, rather annoying.
I sometimes get sad over little things I would not usually,
and I really thought I would be able to control my hunger a bit better haha.
Other than that, I'm so tired all the time... I'm sleeping at least 12 hours a day!
Although, I am really more worried about the actual BIRTH!
SCARY!
ha.

Looking back it all has a purpose...the most annoying was when I went into labor with the first one, my husband said.."are you sure your in labor? "
"yes"
"OK then I'm just going to get a little sleep then before we go to the hospital"
"no I think you should stay awake"
"It's just that I'm so cold right now..is it cold in here?"
"AHHHHGG.you are wondering if it's cold in here?.....!!!!!!!"
I look back and realize the sweet thing was in shock...the best thing about pregnancy was meeting my miracles...the second was the BEAUTIFUL look my husband gets when he sees the babe for the first time (tears of joy) wow that is by far the most loving look I've ever seen.

My hormones were all over the place, so I cried alot. Though i would feel joy throughoutas I had lost a baby a few weeks before but found it very tough. Did have a beautiful baby girl at the end of it though.
