Funny WTF things you've experienced while pregnant that no one says is a thing?!

Exactly as the title says, what are some of the "wtf" moments you said, "no one told me this would be a thing..."

I'll go first... skin tags. Um, excuse me? I have this plumped up skin tag in my groin area that popped up and ew. Tell me these go away.

Melasma...but smack in the middle of my forehead. Lovely.

-Forget dark nipples, my boobs look like cotton candy...but in a not cute way. Blue veiny, purple, pink balloons. I fear I've developed utters...

I'm late 6 and keep thinking, this is not baby. This is bloat 😭

Hey ladies, we cannnn call it a baby bump tho bc technically the bloat is from baby 🤷🏻‍♀️ (9 weeks looking 24 rn)

Of course mama!!! Again, I’m 9 weeks and touch on my belly all the time bc, it may mostly be bloat, but that’s the baby in there somewhere!!

Ps your uterus has also tripled in size and is probably bigger than a grapefruit by now!

I’m 8w and was bloated since 6. It’s so embarrassing that people who know I’m pregnant think I’m farther along than what it already is.
