To us outsiders, being pregnant seems like such a beautiful experience. Months of researching baby names, learning about the human body during doctor's appointments, and bringing a new life into this world. Honestly, it sounds so magical.

But the everyday life of pregnancy is so much more than that. And way less glamorous than the movies want us to believe. Stylish maternity clothes are really expensive and hard to find, and that "glow" that everyone keeps mentioning is more sweat than sprinkles.

To paint you a more accurate picture of what it's really like to grow a human being in your belly, Bored Panda has compiled a list of honest posts that mothers and their loved ones made about them expecting.

It's ok to assume one is pregnant if it encourages to be polite (to give a seat, open doors, etc) but if it's used to control and humiliate like in this example... Makes me MAD.

To help you make sense of what pregnant women go through, Bored Panda contacted Vicki Broadbent, a writer, director, broadcaster, and founder of the parenting blog Honest Mum. "There is a myriad of changes which take place when you're pregnant: hormonal so chemical/emotional changes and of course physical as your body expands to house your precious cargo," the bestselling author of Mumboss (UK) and The Working Mom (the US and Canada) said.

Vicki herself has two boys and a baby girl on the way. "I believe pregnancy has provided me with somewhat of a maternal superpower too. My instincts are sharpened so my boundaries are stronger; I have less tolerance for any BS or drama as I'm protective of my mental and physical health and that of my baby's and my focus is firmly on that which brings me joy," she explained. "I recently read that women are born with all of the eggs they'll ever have in a lifetime and that when my mother was in my grandmother's womb I was there, nestled within her as a tiny egg. How incredible is that? I like to think there's a generational strength that has been passed down to me from this strong line of women, empowering me on a cellular level."

ADVERTISEMENT

That's true, female babies are born with all the egg cells they're ever going to have; around 1-2 million of them! No new egg cells are made during their lifetime. When a girl reaches puberty, she has between 300,000 and 400,000 eggs left.

Feelin’ Like A Whole Chicken

Feelin’ Like A Whole Chicken

Madiford2 Report

Pregnancy starts taking its toll right from the get-go. "First-trimester nausea and fatigue certainly aren't fun. Nor is indigestion and insomnia of the second trimester but as this is my fourth pregnancy and third baby (I sadly lost a baby last year), I am relishing the magic of pregnancy as much as possible," Vicki Broadbent said.

That being said, Vicki still faces challenges. "I can't lie and say I'm fully at peace with my changing body as society/the media and my own pressure to not look 'too big' does affect me but I'm certainly trying to be kind to myself with loving affirmations and making healthy food choices and safely exercising. I'm doing daily meditation too so I can be more responsive and less reactive — hormones can be wild at times — so that helps!"

Tommy's, the largest UK charity researching the causes and prevention of pregnancy complications, miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, and neonatal death, also recognizes that it's natural to get a bit stressed when you're pregnant and acknowledges that coping with your symptoms and changing lifestyle, as well as everyday life, can sometimes be overwhelming. To relax, Tommy's offers these tips.

Personally, Vicki prefers meditation and allowing herself to feel all the emotions that arise. This includes crying when she needs to. 

"Talking candidly about how I'm feeling is key," she said. "I kept a lot of trauma buried within me after a tough first birth and I learned from that period that not expressing my pain was detrimental to my mental health so now I talk (and talk) to those I love."

The mom listens to her body too. "When I need to sleep, I sleep and any guilt I might have harbored to try and be superwoman in previous pregnancies has definitely gone this time around."

Vicki discusses her experiences in her blog Honest Mum as well as on Facebook and Instagram. She will be releasing a new post today so be sure to check it out. Nobody is quite as articulate and sincere as she is.

the bad Salt does that - if you ate only actual food as it appears coming from the earth off the trees out of the ground you wouldn't have that problem and if you need to add salt make sure it's Himalayan or Celtic or something natural not the chemical c**p from Morton's

There are things that can help. Yes, I'm a guy. But I've been an assistant to two separate pregnancies, not to mention the numerous others I've helped out with (mom, aunt, cousins, sister, etc). Walking, while definitely uncomfortable, helps with circulation and can help prevent swelling. Also, reduce your salt intake. A lot of sweets have salt. Salt holds water. That water goes to your feet. Finally, spend at least 2 hours total with your feet higher than your heart (this is recommended for heart health anyhow, but especially so for pregnancy). This helps fluid drain out of your feet and back to your center mass. Prop your upper body up, and put a small stack of pillows under your heels so your heels are about 2 inches above your heart.

You have to go for walks every day. Move and get circulation in the body and when you are done, then go home to sit with your legs up. Fluid in the body when you are pregnant often comes from sitting still for too long with your feet down.

Swelling to this degree can be an indicator of high blood pressure, putting mother and child in danger of preeclampsia. Get in to see a doc ASAP. This is one of those things that medical science can't fix and will kill the host and parasite. SEE A DOC!

I hit pregnant in November and by February I was sure I had the start of the above. Come May and Imove were twice this size clear up past my thighs. Still the Dr. said I was fine... Come July, can't touch toes to ground, skin splitting, went to the dr. Then hospital, sent home, back 2 days later and daughter was born via emergency c-section 2 months early due to it progressing to HELLP syndrome and we both almost died. Never let the Dr.s try to talk you out of knowing when something isn't right. It could be deadly. 18 years later and my little 3lb13oz preemie is still tiny but perfect and beautiful!

So no one freaks out. I've seen many women have swollen feet like this and didn't have preeclampsia. They had jobs where they were on their feet for 8-12 hours a day. Its not uncommon and doesn't always mean there is a health issue. Mine swelled with both pregnancies even though I ate very differently and it was because I had a standing job. I had to get Crocs to wear because I couldn't wear regular shoes. Many in my job did this.

Not necessarily. I had low blood pressure my whole pregnancy - finally reached 'average' around 9 months. My feet were so bad my toes were almost invisible even with low blood pressure. Skin split. It wasn't even pre-eclampsia. It was just 'oedema'. Was told to chill out by my physician - 'it's only pain'. Man, I really wished I could transfer it to him at that point.

I had legs so swollen I had no definition from thigh to toes. You couldn't even tell I had knees much less ankles- but it happened AFTER I gave birth! I only gained 20 pounds during pregnancy and weighed more post delivery than pre because of the water retention. Bizarre. Pregnant bodies are just bizarre.

There are MANY women who suffer extreme edema in the 3rd trimester. This is not always due to eclampsia. Babies apply pressure to the aorta and literally shut down blood flow.

Very often they're only kind people being a bit clumsy. First one: 'oh, you're 7 months pregnant, but your belly is very discreet'. A week later, (admiring tone) ' wow you're due in October, but your belly is already quite big' (really depends on the clothes I wear). I know my baby is OK, I didn't overweight, I'm in good health and shape, so I really don't mind comments like this as they're first meant to be nice.

Why is this boxed and custom made as if it were from a pizza place, but uncooked and sealed in plastic?

Let's Say I "Hypothetically" Forgot To Take A Pyrex Lid Out Of The Oven Before I Preheat It And It "Hypothetically" Melted

Let's Say I "Hypothetically" Forgot To Take A Pyrex Lid Out Of The Oven Before I Preheat It And It "Hypothetically" Melted

What would be the best way to get the plastic off the hypothetical oven rack? Or would one need to just throw the whole damn oven out? Asking for a friend.

Actually, melted plastic usually peels right off of smooth metal, once it cools. Ask me anything about bad housekeeping!
