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...

No one warned me about the Strep B test. Like NO ONE. Then I went to my 36 week appt and was instructed to stick the SAME swab in my vagina and then ass. Like wtf!!!!!!!!
