Things About Pregnancy

Things I expected (and got) from pregnancy

heartburn
swollen fingers
constant need to pee
inability to lie on my front
tiny baby kicks
uninvited bump touching

Things I (foolishly) did not expect (and got) from pregnancy

bloating
gas +++
bleeding gums
one very sensitive front tooth
an aversion to chicken and courgettes
boobs
weird metallic taste in my mouth all the time
being talked to via the bump ("and how is mummy feeling today my little one?" OH GOD IT IS STILL INSIDE ME, YOU'RE LITERALLY NOT ALLOWED TO ASK ITS OPINION.)

Things I have not yet got from pregnancy but am expecting to any moment now

swelling everywhere
mood swings

Pregnancy: it's magical!
