Myths and Mysteries of Pregnancy REVEALED


So.. Despite the fact that when you begin growing a human, your own little loved progeny, that will most certainly be the greatest teacher AND gift you have ever received, you have absolutely ZERO concept of what anything will feel like from week to week, day to day etc; pregnancy is NOT as horrifying as every random woman, who stops you on the street to tell you it IS, I promise! 

Myth number 1:
The morning sickness is going to put you on your ass, make you feel like you are hungover for 9 months and WILL make you green as you vomit the cucumber and peanut butter sandwich you just HAD to consume. 
NO! If you drink 2L of water, take your pregnancy multivitamins and eat regular, healthy(as in non preservative laden) snacks and food, and get decent rest then you may get some slightly off days at worst, moments or a very rare blergh moment IN YOUR FIRST TRIMESTER.
Even the worst sufferers would do it again in a heartbeat, which stands to reason that they are totally over exaggerating when they tell you myth#1 (designed as population control and the first round of scare mongering).

More myth busting goodness over the next few days.. Stay tuned! ;-)
