50 Pregnant Women Whose Day Is Going Worse Than Yours Is (New Pics)
InterviewWhether you have previous experience as a parent or not, we can all agree that pregnancy isn't necessarily all that glorious. It's a beautiful moment in a parent's life as they eagerly await the arrival of their baby, but when we idealize it as something purely idyllic and miraculous, reality kicks in, and we start to realize it's not all roses and rainbows. Pregnancy can get messy, both for expecting women and the future fathers actively participating in this important event.
While outsiders may make assumptions about the experience of pregnancy, those who have had the chance to go through it know that it's not always what it seems. Fortunately, there are some very reliable sources that share honest yet funny facts about this blessed condition. Today, we've curated a new collection of chuckle-worthy posts shared online by mothers-to-be themselves, shedding light on some of the not-so-magical moments of pregnancy.

I Think My Wife Forgot She Was 7 And A Half Months Pregnant When She Tried To Hide So She Could Jump Out And Scare Me
I Called Chewy To Tell Them The Packages They Are Sending Me Are Too Heavy Because I’m Pregnant And If They Could Be Split Up. I Got This In The Mail From Them
I love Chewy. Our beloved pooch passed away and our very expensive dog food arrived 2 days after. They refunded our money, sent a condolence card and told us to donate the bag of food. That kind of kindness means so much when you are grieving. Love Chewy.
Same experience when we had to say goodbye to our cat. He needed prescription food, we had just gotten a bag that we hadn't opened yet. They also refunded our money and told us to donate the food, cancelled the auto-ship before I thought to, sent a card and also sent a dozen roses. Such amazing and compassionate service.

Load More Replies...I love the people at chewy. Several years ago they sent me two paintings of my dog from the profile as a Christmas gift. I still have these and am so blessed since my dog was killed by a hit and run driver while I was in the hospital last year.
that's so cute! we get food from a company here in the UK called Butternut. When they found out that our dog had cancer (he is now in full remission 2 years later) they sent him out a stuffed armadillo toy to keep him company through all his treatments. i cried.
Although the result is cute...but seriously, writing a company to specially package your order because you're pregnant...like it's not enough that they deliver it to your door so you don't have to go to the store!?! I wonder what else she uses that excuse for
Damn, who s**t in your cheerios? You ok? Need a hug?
Load More Replies...My Pregnant Wife Is Practicing Swaddling On Our Dog
Bored Panda reached out to Claire Falconer, a certified women's hormone coach from Australia. On her social media profile, she helps future mothers and shares valuable tips related to hormonal health, fertility, preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum. Apart from assisting her followers on the pregnancy journey, Claire continues her own adventures by traveling Australia in a camper van with her partner Luke and their two beautiful children, 2-year-old Beau and newborn Reef.
Motherhood often comes with unexpected challenges. Apart from all the wonderful moments, women have to face some difficult situations. That's why we asked Claire if she could share one of her personal experiences related to being a mom. Falconer told us: “As a mother we sacrifice our bodies, our brain cells, our social lives, our sleep, eating a hot meal, our money, our energy, our patience all in the name of unconditional love. Motherhood is wild, daily I’m reminded just how lucky I am but also questioning how am I going to survive.”

Asked to share a bit more about the realities of pregnancy that often go unnoticed or unspoken, Claire said: “I think the realities of pregnancy are now shared very openly. The fatigue, the nausea, the constant heartburn, the insomnia, the constant feeling of being uncomfortable, the back pain and hip pain and so much more physical symptoms everyone is so aware of. What isn’t spoken about so much is the fear and anxieties, the constant checking the toilet paper after every wipe for fear of losing your little one, the fear of will you be enough, will you be a good mum, will your relationship survive. The constant questioning yourself is sometimes enough to send you insane.”

But we shouldn't forget that, first of all, the time of expecting a baby comes with some wonderful benefits: “Something else that isn't shared so much is just how beautiful and powerful pregnancy can feel. People seem to always share the bad. But pregnancy can be beautiful. I felt the most sexy I have in my whole life during pregnancy. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror I was reminded that I was actually growing a human. I was making fingernails and toes. It was a beautiful time in my life.”

We wanted to know what, according to Falconer, is the most rewarding part of being a mom that makes all the challenges worth it. We found out that: “The unconditional love you feel for your little ones. Motherhood is the toughest job in the world but what these little people do to our hearts is what makes it all worth it. That little smile, or giggle they give you is worth even the worst night's sleep.”

At least you get to relax now with everybody doing things for you!!
Lastly, we were curious what advice Claire would give to other moms-to-be or new moms who might be facing some of the less glamorous aspects of motherhood. Falconer shared with us: “Do what you need to do in order to survive, there is no 'right way' to do things (obviously within reason). You will get so much advice from so many people and it’s often so overwhelming and this adds to the stress of motherhood. Trust your gut, and do what works for you, your family, and your baby. No baby, no mother is the same. You do you!”

It didn't quite come off as the spontaneous joy I had hoped for.

Kudos to everyone who's pregnant/has a baby, I'd go insane and very depressed with all of this
Haha, I feel the same. Like, I'm so happy for everyone being happy, but this is literally my worst nightmare XD
Load More Replies...Nothing like a pregnancy article to make me grateful that I got my tubes removed.
Your brain does actually shrink a little bit, and seriously you do feel stupid. Then you get the baby and you're sleep deprived so you still feel dumb, but you gain some crazy super powers, like amazingly fast reflexes. I also had incredible throwing aim: anything I threw toward a target hit it exactly. Laundry into a basket half the room away, crumpled paper into the bin, etc.
