We don’t have kids here at Eastbourne LifeStyle HQ, but all of our friends are Mummies. So we thought we’d get them to share with you 5 things that happened to them whilst pregnant, that no one ever warned them about. It did make us giggle and they had a list as long as your arm, but we narrowed it down to the best ones. Let us know if you think we’ve missed anything off or let us know about your own experience. Thanks for your help girls.
1. Everyone will see your lady bits – anyone and everyone – even the cleaner.
Being prudish goes out of the window at this stage, everyone will see everything and by the time it comes to give birth you won’t even care!
2. Your big belly is everyone else’s property.
Being pregnant is like walking around with a new born puppy, no one looks you in the face anymore, they talk to the belly. They also like to touch the belly. Old ladies in the queue next to you will have a stroke, your friends will want to feel the kicking and hopefully this wont happen to you – complete strange putting their ear to your belly to listen.
3. Have you seen how cows give birth – an arm up their wotsit – we’ll it’s pretty much the same for us.
We don’t need to say anymore on that one!
4. Hormones make you out of this world cra-aazy
The donkey adverts will really get you with baby hormones, by get you we mean – you will become a crying blob in the floor wondering why the world is such a horrible place. Or your friends won’t text back quick enough (within 10 minutes) and you will think they hate you and that you did something wrong.
5. You will never ever sleep again – most people tell you that – but it’s no exaggeration
From 20 weeks onwards – wave goodbye to a full nights sleep.- we’re serious. Sleepless nights are now your thing – get used to them – 4 hours of sleep a night is now considered a luxury – 4am will now be your best friend.
