Pregnancy can be a beautiful journey, but let’s be real—there are some unexpectedly annoying aspects that are rarely discussed. While it might seem like there’s an abundance of complaints about pregnancy experiences, the reality is that most of these blogs barely touch on the oddities that come with carrying a little one.
There are numerous surprises that await expectant mothers—many of which go unspoken. For instance, few are eager to share the joys of excessive gas, unexpected hair growth, or the struggle of maintaining a tidy bikini line. These are all lessons learned in the trenches of pregnancy, often while feeling like a gassy, bloated, and uncoordinated version of yourself.
Recently, Buzzfeed released a video that brilliantly encapsulates some of these seldom-discussed pregnancy symptoms. You might find yourself exclaiming, “Oh my gosh, I’m turning into a werewolf!” or questioning, “Do I smell apples?” And let’s not forget the constant urgency of needing to pee!
If you have a friend contemplating parenthood, be sure to share this video with them. It’s a humorous yet eye-opening look at the weird side of pregnancy that most people shy away from discussing. But beware—it just might make them rethink their timeline for starting a family.

In summary, pregnancy is filled with surprises, and while some can be amusing, they are often the topics no one feels comfortable discussing. Sharing these experiences can help ease the journey for those about to embark on it.
