I am only 9 weeks pregnant and feel like I've been hit by a truck. I was expecting to feel the pain and frequent urination in the third trimester, but not this early! I recently learned that pregnancy isn't a break from periods, instead it feels like one constant never-ending period. I also didn't expect to be so grossed out by my favorite foods or to be unable to eat any leftovers. Omg and getting sick without being able to take any decongestants! Ugh!

What is something about pregnancy that you did not see coming? I want to know no matter how grotesque. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing and for the thoughtful response! I had no idea about an increase in body hair lol. Its so beautiful to read your ur infant recognized the voice of your three year old. This very much helps with my anxiety and worry. Thank you =)

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
