how tired i would be. i literally broke down in tears today because i'm so exhausted...and from doing NOTHING! i just keep thinking how do people do this over and over again?!

ditto. i am "only" 32 weeks and just cried almost all day today. i feel huge, and it is practically to hot here to get out of the house after 10am. my trip to target yesterday lasted way longer than it needed to since i had to stop and catch my breath at the end of every aisle!

The groin pain. Labor pains were so welcome after dealing with my groin pain for two months!!

@mediagirl: same! Sometimes I felt like my pelvis was going to crack in half!

the carpal tunnel and sciatica.

@stargal: OMG thank goodness I'm not the only one. My stretch marks stretch from below my pubic bone to ABOVE my belly button. I am so depressed. No more 2-piece swimsuits for me. I hate how they feel likes little ridges now that baby is born. I also didn't expect to get them on my thighs, butt and breasts too.

I didn't expect to have morning sickness PAST 12 weeks - I though 12 weeks was the magic number. I had morning sickness from week 6-week 18! Ugh. I hated it. Every day I threw up.

I didn't expect the intense sciatica pain that literally impaired my walking abilities and called for weekly chiropractic care just so I could walk.

I didn't expect to have my bladder forever altered and postpartum have the weakest bladder ever- I have to pee right before a workout or I will wet myself. I have to pee every two hours, or who knows if when I laugh it will trigger something. Sometimes even certain stretches - like yoga that makes my legs go into the splits- trigger it too. This is probably the worse part because it really affects my quality of life. I worry about it all the time. How many times I have since been stuck knowing I would wet myself because there is no bathroom in sight I'm desperately trying to strengthen my pelvic floor It's so embarrassing.

I didn't expect to lose my appetite for the entire 9 months. Also how bad heartburn would be- so bad, I couldn't think! And the carpal tunnel was pretty crummy towards the end.
