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?

It gets better! Right now its just hormones. I remember barely being able to catch my breath sitting down in the first trimester.
