When you sneeze or cough really hard you may pee a little or even if your baby kicks your bladder. Constipation. The foods that used to be your favorites you may end up hating it so much you can't stand it. You will go through  spells where all you want to do is sleep and then spells where you have all the energy in the world and want to do everything. Your sex drive may increase or decrease depending on your hormones. Hemorrhoids associated with constipation. You may get headaches. You will swell. Your feet may grow in size as well as your clothes. Your boobs may leak a little before the baby comes. You will not be able to shave down there very easily without help. Tying shoes may become difficult too. Your back will more than likely start to hurt the further along you get. You may not be able to sleep comfortably but trust me you will be exhausted. Braxton hicks contractions can hurt. You may cry when they accidentally add onions to your burger. And many more.

Seriously crippling back pain that comes and goes. Feeling like you're gonna pass out cause you get anemia out of no where. GUILT over everything you do wrong,  or don't do. Like not knowing Spanish so you can't teach your baby Spanish.

What I wish I knew:
In the beginning I was all down for sex. Then every time we would I would need to pee (even if I just went before foreplay) it was so uncomfortable that I just gave up on trying. Now it doesn't bug me and he's not interested. Lol
Late 2nd trimester early 3rd: pooping was a struggle, now I poop 3/4 times a day soupy poop.
The BACK PAIN is crippling, and laziness of eff it all takes over.
and you'll grow to hate even the kindest of gestures from your significant other and friends, everyone starts to bug the crap out of you whether they mean well or not.

Extra ear wax, hemorrhoids, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, pelvic rest (no orgasms or sex), pelvic girdle pain, lack of bladder control, waking up every three hours, heating when you stand after sitting or lying down, lack of patience, zits, acid reflux...its a wonderful experience...toot toot.
