10 months pregnant - what have I learned so far

So today is the official due date as given by the NHS :) A paper type wheel thing and a scan confirmed that this is indeed the date that will make me 40 weeks pregnant or 10 months (because, who said it was 9 months of gestation?).

What have I learned so far?

1. Being pregnant is NOT easy

2. There is pain, all the way through the 10 months

3. You loose your shape and dignity

4. You make new friends that are going through the same crap as you at the same time. Most likely these will be your only friends as soon as your babies are out.

5. Partners are pregnant too! Their shape will change and get cravings. And they will have to endure your hormonal outbreaks by agreeing with you and admitting defeat.

6. Babies can kick in a way that will make your belly look square

7. Baby's kicks can be painful, but fun at the same time

8. You will avoid sex and sexual thoughts all the way through the pregnancy, up until the final two months, when your lady bits expand, blood flows in mysterious ways and hormones you had when you were a teenager are back! Having sex now is way more important than worrying about the massive belly and the baby inside.

9. If you are lucky to get increased sex drive at the last couple of months, you are excused because you "need it" so as to bring labour on.

10. You will be so exhausted by the end of the gestation, that you don't care how the baby is going to come out, as long as it's out!

haha and many more ;)
