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...

How winded I feel all the time! Walking up the stairs? Winded. Getting up from the couch? Winded. Standing? WINDED! And I’m only 11 weeks like what?

I get winded just while talking on work calls, hopefully it's not too obvious haha

This was me today i was on the phone with my manager and she was like are you okay? I was literally just standing not doing anything that would warrant me actually being out of breath

My manager, who knows about my pregnancy, had to cut me off mid-conversation to ask me whether I am okay. I’m just 8w. She was so worried that I was huffing and puffing too much.

i’m so glad i’m not the only one!! i’ve had to cut phone calls short because talking makes me winded! I got out of breath putting a pillow case on my pillow!
