Yes, waiting for a baby is a happy event… However, let's face it, pregnancy does not have only good sides and there are a whole lot of small (and not so small) inconveniences that come to mark these 9 months. little out of time. We are between us, let's be honest, pregnancy has its share of hassles and silly things that ruin our lives a bit. And you, what did you find the most painful?
1- Nausea and its siamese: vomiting, the infernal tandem. Never far from each other, they have a knack for ruining the day as soon as you try to put your foot on the ground.
2- That daily frustration when, in front of the wardrobe in the morning, you realize that there are so few clothes you can still fit into.
3- Heads drooping over laptops or books on public transport so as not to see the big can that points to their noses and the plump buttocks that only ask to sit on a seat.
4- Are we talking about the joys of acid reflux and constipation?
5- The pervasive anxiety felt throughout pregnancy. It usually disappears at the time of the consultation at the gynecologist to return instantly as soon as the cabinet door closes. Pregnant women are psychic about everything, all the time, that's a fact.
6- These people who strive to touch their belly "because it brings good luck" when we do not know each other … and these same people would not even have left their place in the queue of the supermarket to the pretty bottle all round.
7- All the hopes put in vain in creams, oils, gels, serums and anti-stretch marks massages… Yes, in vain.
8- Indecision in front of certain foods (preferably the ones we love): sushi, foie gras, carpaccio, oysters, camembert with raw milk … We hear everything and anything about their consumption and it's complicated to know who to trust. The only thing we know is that we dream of eating it, but that we are afraid of doing something stupid by giving in to temptation. Terrible dilemma!

9- Hair that grows despite common sense and good taste. Hair that is impossible to remove anyway. In question ? This new abdominal circumference. Waxing your legs becomes a dream … for the bikini line, it's downright utopian.
10- Turn, return to find THE position that allows you to fall asleep more or less comfortably … Until the moment when baby decides to attempt a double somersault pike with landing on the bladder, the fatal combo.
11- The aforementioned bladder feels like a marble now. Thus forcing to interrupt cinema sessions, car trips but also every night by too many pee breaks (especially in the event of a double salto pike).
12- … Anyway, half the time you start to wet your panties before reaching the bathroom. Every giggle, sneeze or sudden movement is an opportunity to experience this wonderful feeling of flight. Note for later: Remember to make an appointment for perineal rehabilitation.
13- This immense fatigue that took hold of your body and your mind. Add to that this sudden desertion of your neurons… Not frankly foolish all that.
Warning, spoiler: birth won't help, too bad!
14- The monthly blood tests, exams and urine tests, but also the glucose test (well, a real good reason to vomit).
15- This slightly painful baby who loves to try a new dance step in the middle of the night but who stubbornly refuses to make the slightest movement as soon as the future dad puts his hand on his stomach. "But I swear to you, honey, he moved"
16- The fear of the scales at each new inspection visit. It's scientific. The scales will never be favorable to you and, in front of the angry gaze of the gynecologist when you tell him "the" number, you feel like when you were 6 years old, facing your institute, the frightening Miss Cruella.
17- No more fitting into any pair of shoes once summer arrives. Really none, not even flip flops.
18- This feeling of worthlessness and this obligation to seek help for:
- To move out,
- Repaint the baby's room,
- Carry the water pack,
- Lace up your shoes,
- Pick up anything that may be lying on the ground,
- Get up after a picnic,
- Put on your socks,
- Pull up her panties (yes, yes) …
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.Unfortunately not exhaustive list
19- This glamorous, sexy and waddling duck gait. If you're in a relationship with Donald, it can do it. If not…
20- Sciatica. Pleasant as a nail driven deep down the back. This pain can, on the worst of days, force you to crawl up the stairs. In lazy mode.
Note for later: opt for a single storey house.
Bonus – The worst of the worst? Certainly put up with the abominable birth stories of those who have already been through this and be put off as soon as you object to the wonderful nature of her pregnancy. We then have the choice between "you are not going to complain, for me it was much worse"And"you are not going to complain, you are so lucky to be pregnant"…Certainly. And even if you already love your baby more than anything in the world, no one will ever prevent saying that: Being pregnant is sometimes super sucks.
… Are we talking about the visit to the pharmacy when you are pregnant?
