Name one thing that has shocked you about pregnancy. Mine so far is that an ultrasound hurts... a lot 😨

Oh just wait until they shove a metal cold speculum up your vagina, that surprised me and it hurts A LOT

The pain we go through for our babies, huh? @snicole12

Round ligament pain! No one ever told me about that before I got pregnant.

@crazytoast, Yes ! It does make it all worth it at the end though

@babyjunebug, that and the headaches too 😱

@snicole12, yeah I can't wait 😀

something that's shocked me: the cotton swab test they do in your vag and anus in your 3rd trimester ! between that and the glucose tolerance test

@ocgirl, omg don't scare me lol 😵

@ocgirl, and why exactly the behind? 😟

lol sorry girl I just found out about this! I guess when you're around 38 weeks pregnant they have to test you to make sure you don't have some type of infection that you can pass to the baby during labor. luckily the infection doesn't come with symptoms and if you have the infection they give you antibiotics during labor so that your baby won't get anything

I just don't like the idea of getting a swab to my butt lol but its all for the baby's health and they say it's just a regular size qtip that they put in there lol

@ocgirl, yeah all this poking and prodding in less than desirable places makes me anxious hahaha

I had a random sciatica nerve go nuts on me and I started yelling with my back arched. My husband thought I was being possessed.

The pelvis pain for me 😫😫

The cramping (round ligament pain). I thought I was free of menstrual type cramps for 9 months (until labor), but I was wrong, ha ha.
