Oh my gosh! Where do I begin!? I had a tooth pulled out while pregnant with barely any anesthesia. Nosebleeds every day, hemorrhoids to this day, sagging boobs, I have developed acid reflux and will forever have it from the constant throwing up through both pregnancies. I had. Vertigo, an ear infection, mastitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, mild incontinence and that’s just to name a few! I haven’t even gotten started with my mid section yet! I’m just glad I took lots of pictures before my pregnancies, so I have proof I didn’t always look like this! Hahahahah My cousin had blood vessels around her chin and neck area burst and so she had all these bruise looking marks and she also had blood shot eyes from those vessels popping from her pushing so hard during labor. Yikes!

Hahaha, thanks. I have 2 happy healthy kiddos, so it was all worth it! 😉
My nurse kept saying she was worried about me because my face would turn red like a tomato and she said my face looked so uncomfortable because I was straining so much 😩
I was sooooooo swollen. Couldn’t wear any shoes at the end. Level 28742849 edema lol

Omg I had the worst cankles!!!! Seriously, I was barefoot or wore thongs the last trimester I could get my feet into anything else 😂
I had a filling fall out when I was 39 weeks pregnant! The pain was extreme it felt like the nerve exposed (maybe it was I don’t really know teeth stuff) hurt so bad with cold and warm water couldn’t eat I mean it was BAD. I was fixated on this idea of my life being a double nightmare not only can I not eat at 39 weeks pregnant now but IM 39 weeks pregnant and MISERABLE PLUS I knew even after baby was born I’d not only have the pains from pushing out this child but I’d have the tooth pain still... My dentist refused to give me any numbing medications because the baby wouldn’t like it! So I got my filling replaced (drilled more and everything) without any pain medication...

Oh my goodness! I had almost the same experience! Mine was a wisdom tooth that never gave me any problems until the second pregnancy. My obgyn said it was because of all the hormones going through me. The pain and the throbbing also consumed my day! I couldn’t think of anything else except knocking my tooth out to stop the pain. I really didn’t want to take any meds, but I took 1 Tylenol every 8-12 hours for 3 days until I was able to get a note to allow me to get my teeth pulled out! They were so worried doing an X-ray on me and so they doubled my lead vest. And my obgyn approved some low dose local anesthesia. The dentist was so scared of the pain I would still feel, because the anesthesia was basically water. I told him that I’ve been experiencing excruciating pain already, as long as it gets taken out, do whatever!!! Hahaha I laugh about losing a tooth now, but back then, I was soooo miserable!
Gosh I thought I had it rough! Women are warriors. I peed everywhere when i was in labor. I couldn't stop. After being in labor for a REALLY long time every contraction made me pee. I had to stand/sit on a puppy pad, I peed in the car. I hobbled into the emergency room covered in pee.

It was a bit of everything! X)
Ugh pregnancy is the greatest isn’t it? I passed 2 kidney stones at 23 weeks, mastitis at 30 weeks, felt like my pelvis was splitting apart from 25 weeks on, hospitalized for preterm labor at 33 weeks, pulmonary edema (complication from mag sulfate), inpatient for 12 days with preeclampsia, babe came 4 days before induction date at 34+5, 17 days in the NICU. Phew. When I think about being pregnant again it makes me want to cry 😂

Peeing my pants while sneezing. So embarrasing...
Peeing on my pants with every sneezing or cough or even laugh
I pee, and pooped only cause after they broke my water they gave me meds and it numbs, I couldn't feel it at all coming outta me...I was so embarrassed...never told anyone...feel alot better now I laugh n smile at it now lol
After having all 4 of my kids, I now have to cross my legs really tight when I cough, sneeze, and laugh alot. My 3 older kids are 22, 19, and 18, and my little one is 4 and half. When I was pregnant with my last one, I would get nose bleeds.
Nose bleeds! Over production of melanin had me looking like a Nutella cooking my whole pregnancy. Freakiest thing to me. My teeth wanting to fall out. Cyst acne + painful peanut sized bumps w/clear fluid on my face + very itchy face and more. Got thru it, gotten a wonderful baby boy out of it and I ain’tdoin it again
After giving birth I passed a blood clot the size of a baseball
Your plug coming out 😷
My foot went up a size not gross but very inconvenient

Mine were too and they got darker..but everything normalized after birth
Bloody mucus. I had it throughout my whole pregnancy I hated it.
Hemorrhoids. Never had them before. Gross and painful
I got a varicose vein on my vagina. Ya. I thought it was an ingrown hair and went to a male dermatologist who was like, "This will go away after birth. I can't help you." LOL
I had a very painful cyst down in the danger zone. It got to the size of a golf ball. I could hardly walk or sit, even rolling over in bed was painful. It developed at 16 weeks and nobody would touch it until I was done being pregnant. Absolutely miserable lol.

Bartholin cyst i had the same thing but mine became infected and when they drained it the puss shot across the room 🤢 couldn’t wait until birth
Mine was a paraurethral cyst. I still need to have surgery to correct it, and I'm dreading it.

you might have a UTI... does it burn when you pee?
Ugh I had the worst diarrhea and threw up everything I ate I could not keep anything down..I had the worst nausea. I had horrible leg pain from varicose veins that I got while pregnant it hurt when I would get up to walk..I got diastasis recti, ab separation where I can see the gap in my stomach, an umbilical hernia which I had the worst surgery to close the hernia in my belly button, as well as saggy boobs because I breastfed both babies and exclusively pumped! Aaah just pregnancy does so much to your body 😭😩 I’m still recovering and my son will be 1 this month..I feel like my body will never be the same after it’s two occupants..
Bloody gums. Like, I every single time I brushed my teeth, sometimes even in the middle of the day I’d taste blood in my mouth. I was so worried at first because I NEVER had bloody gums before and I’ve always had really good dental health. I didn’t even think it was related to the pregnancy but lo an behold, it totally is. After my daughter was born, they went back to normal.
I had an extra sac of fluid that caused unbelievable pain and discomfort
No one tells you about how you become a fire breathing dragon. I had heartburn for days.

I had group B strep . Had to be on an IV before delivery my daughter. Sucked I couldn't do anything. Not even eat and I have problems with my sugar dropping so I was sick.
Threw up so bad I have cuts in my throat, had Ivs all through out my pregnancy, blood transfusions three times a week, iron transfusions once a week, couldn’t hold down anything, no medication worked for me, bed rest the entire time, I seriously lived in the hospital most of both of my pregnancies, birth was amazing slept through both of mine no lie pushed once for my son and woke up felt a strange feeling and looked down my daughters head was out of me, stayed almost two weeks after birth both times just so I could have blood bags and be monitored, pushed my uterus out as well with the birth of my daughter pushed too hard to get my placenta out, I now cannot digest meat, I’m lactose intolerant, I can’t have chocolate, no fast food, can’t have any tomato based anything, nothing with milk in it, nothing spicy, nothing with grease. But through all of it I have two wonderful babies and they are truly amazing no matter how much hell they put me through I am so blessed and so thankful I have them (amazing kids)😍

You earned those stripes :) I wear mine with pride
Peed when i sneezed and peed sooooo much ...
Popped capillaries in face and eyes from vomiting Vomiting straight up bile every day 🤮 which then caused me to throw up (old) blood a few times that the doctors presume was from a tear in my stomach but they really don't know ✌️ I also ended up with gallbladder attacks 6wks pp due to my baby's foot squashing my liver,(I didn't have a bump at all and my baby was 8lb4oz so he just squished everything in there) And I also now can't eat much spicy or greasy/fatty foods (mostly processed meats), without paying the price for it and really have to limit my alcohol because of my liver (have been lactose intolerant since I was about 13 so quite alot that I enjoy I've to avoid/limit now) But I would do it all over again for a baby as good as mine 💓
Armpit hair growing at light speed 😂
Vomited so bad everyday that my GYN had to put me on meds and they still didn’t work... I threw up up until the day I had him. The day I had him I threw up and pooped my self I was induced so the pain was more intense and I did it naturally with no meds. He ripped me inside out 24 stitches 😩 I’m 7 months PP and I still have vaginal pain
Oh god yes, I remember the blood vessels popping.. looked like I had a horrible rash it was so bad. Lasted most of the pregnancy too. Had the super bad poops, the gas, didn’t have urine leaks til third trimester when baby dropped.. but I did have a ton of freaking discharge. And I got hairy quick. My leg, armpit, and public hair grew so damn fast 😂 shaving felt pointless
Prolapsed hemorrhoids from week 17 on...I sat in ice to make it through Thanksgiving dinner.

Endless acid reflux. 6 months nausea and counting.... 🤢
Peeling the skin off the inside of my mouth from all the acid reflux. Oh & my episiotomy stitches not holding so I had a big extra hole & they could re stitch it so just had to wait for it to heal. Agony!
When I was walking to the bathroom after labor, pee just gushed out of me and all over the floor. I couldn’t even feel that I was going.
Lets not forget, weakened bowels.
