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.

Another way in which Endgame delivered! (The more serious being showing a superhero battling depression, generally being a mess, and crying, while still being a superhero.)

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.

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.

It’s called “take and bake” pizza. It ensures that the pizza is always as fresh as you want it to be. I’ve worked at a place like that, so if you have more questions I’d be happy to answer them.

In Northern Minnesota, there is a food called Ring Bologna. It's a mildly spicy bologna about 18 inches long, and packed in a circle. It was a favorite in out house until my first pregnancy. Never again have I been able to stand the sight or smell of it since. Baby is now 38.

This was me! Pizza smelled horrid. I couldn't even imagine eating it. And 17 years later, I still prefer not to eat any pizza with tomato sauce. Terrible side effect. Also, I had always loved the smell of coffee and it made me sick when pregnant. Fortunately, that one went away.

This happened to me with coffee. I loved it sooo much, mostly iced. Once pregnant I got half caff and decaf a couple times out at coffee shops in various flavors and forms and hated all of them. Eventually I figured out it wasn't the shop, the coffee or drink type.. I just hate the taste of coffee now I'm pregnant! So sad. Maybe my love for it will come back once I have this baby in a couple weeks.

I Have To Stuff My Nose With Cotton While The Asiago Bagels Bake And Cool Because The Smell Of So Many Asiagos Just About Kills This Preggo Mama

Last time I threw up and this time I could feel myself getting sick again so I did the only thing I could thing of to save myself. It worked!!! I may have to put baking Asiago bagels on hold from here on out until after I've had Solomon. Ironically I've never had such trouble with nausea and smell sensitivity as I'm having now with my first boy. Everyone has always said theirs was worse with girls! Go figure mine is worse with a boy! And I thought I'd get some relief.

Maybe she didn't forget. Maybe she just couldn't pick them up and decided to sacrifice them in the parking lot.

This is not good. Fluid retention (oedema) can be very bad in pregnancy and can be early warning sign of pre-eclampsia (toxaemia) which is very bad for both Mum and Bub. First link below tells you how to treat. Second link is for specific symptoms in pregnancy. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/oedema/ https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/related-conditions/common-symptoms/swollen-ankles-feet-and-fingers/

I went through this too, my midwife had me up my protein, let my carbs, and put my feet up as often as possible. It was like magic!

I can't see any white line which means maybe you're the one who parked badly, or equally badly?

If that's ranch, then I get it. I always had the occasional pickle craving, with and without pregnancy ;)
