So guys what do you wish *they* had told you about pregnancy before you got your BFP?? I thought we might get a bit of a list going, might help the girls following in our preggie footsteps ;)
1) The excess mucus issue - OMG I've had to wear liners for so long now & it's just getting worse!
How extreamily hormonal you'd be. For example, crying because the butter was put on the wrong shelf in the fridge.
LOL That my levels of patience would very quickly run out!! I'm usually a very patient person but now I get cranky very easily. Don't mess with a pregnant woman!! LMAO.
The nights you are awake cause you can't sleep from either calf cramps or hip pain etc
Love
Same here on the hormones and moodiness. Although some would argue that I'm like that all the time. I don't think I'm as bad this time as I was with the others but still I can change moods in 5 seconds flat.
Take care

the heartburn and leg cramps, never knew cramp could be that bad :(
Ummmm wind! LOL! In the first tri I had HUGE amounts of wind!

Back ache...
oh yeah, definitely constipation :(
I'm with Kathryn on the whole lack of sleep thing & HIP Pain... oh I think I"m having a sympathy one now! LOL!
That it was possible to gain massive amounts of weight...
The Pelvic pain got pretty bad too...
Period cramps for 4 months, lack of sleep, heartburn, and definitly hormonal issues.
{WIND} from both ends!
heartburn, itchy skin, sore boobs, constant camel wees, all foods make you feel sick, your body will NEVER look the same again & boobs sag! Loss of hair, constipation & diahorrea in 1 day? Dark skin pigments, headaches, lack of real sleep, exhaustion, moodiness, emotional.....
But ofcourse don't let all that put you off...

Constant, constant, constant nausea, throwing up every day for more than six months...
But the biggest one for me was: my Mum not telling me that she was hospitalised with high blood pressure for six weeks before her first was born....
And I was hospitalised with pre-eclampsia at 31 weeks.... she didn't tell me until I was in the hospital.... GRRRRRRR...
Mind you, after Alex was born, my grandmother told me that two of her best friends died from pre-eclampsia - I'm glad she told me that AFTERWARDS!
Find out how your Mums were with pg, girlies!
clumsiness! we have next to no glasses and crockery left because i keep breaking them all!
sciatica.....oooowwwwwwwch!!
Got it now....sigh... 8-[
