Have you been pregnant or are you pregnant? You might recognize these totally improbable, hilarious, annoying and sometimes downright rude experiences I and 21 other women had during our pregnancy.

I’ll start sharing my experiences myself:

  1. I didn’t dare to poop
    When I just knew I was pregnant, the morning after we had a positive Early Predictor pregnancy test, I had to poop. I didn’t dare to press though, afraid of pushing the baby out of my uterus. * Plop *
  2. “Have your tits grown?” Getting this question a lot.

do we really need bra's

Watch the video to get an answer to the question wether small breasted women need a bra as well.

  1. “Were you in a relationship at that time?”

Immediately after I told guy that I was three months pregnant, he reacted surprised, asking if I had a relationship at that time. Asking him what he meant with “at that time”, he replied “I thought maybe you had a one-night stand and decided to keep it.” My boyfriend and I have been together for 11 years and are kind of inseparable.

  1. “When will my nipples open up?”

I noticed that my nipples namely changed shape, but I could not discover an opening. Turns out you’re born with it. I still haven’t discovered them yet.

  1. “Huh? It’s as if your belly has become smaller? We’re not going to hide it, huh? Let it go.”

A response to my pregnancy belly progression photo. Not a comment that I could appreciate and  especially not since I only know the guy by face. Anyway, I’m sure he didn’t mean it in a bad way.

  1. “You know you have to eat for 2, right?!”

To be precise, only 15% more, instead of 100% more.

Eat for 2 … well, that’s what I did! Read it here.

  1. “Do you still have to throw-up so much? It can be seen, unfortunately.”

Last time I threw up was 18 years ago after 6 glasses of Passoa. And uh … thanks for “unfortunately”! 

  1. Women who have already given birth feel the need to tell all about how they went into labour, how vagina ripped and what a hell their childbirth was.

Fortunately, they conclude with “but it was well worth it.”

  1. I am suddenly tagged in all kinds of posts with links to the most horrible stories about giving birth.

Thanks a lot!

  1. “You just have this, you just have to that. But do everything in your own way!”
  1. I did not dare to jump anymore.

At bootcamp, we sometimes do a jump work: jumping jacks, box jumps, you know the drill. I don’t fully dare to continue with the jump work, worried that the baby pops out. Imagine that, like my mom had during her pregnancy, my cervix doesn’t seem to fully close!

Would you like to continue working out during your pregnancy? Give the ballet workout, which you can do at home, a try!

12. I could suddenly get nauseous by ugly outfits, interiors and even people.

I know: the latter. Shame on me!
