what people DON'T tell you about pregnancy...

I thought this post could be fun.... just the little facts women don't tell you about being pregnant... We can update this for the next 8 months :-))

What I've learned so far:

- because of the uterus growing quickly, you ALWAYS feel like AF is going to show! (very unnerving!)

- having a cold/sinus infection is worse when preggers because you are limited to what treatments you can do! UGH!

--breasts are painful.  I thought they would be sore...but my breasts are killing me, especially when I'm not wearing a bra.
