Giving birth is a wondrous thing, but there are some symptoms that no one talks about. I'm here to set the record straight and tell you the TRUTH about progeny and it's many challenges. I'm also here to tell you about how it all is worth every once of pain, discomfort, and misery just to hold your baby in your arms for the first time.

1. The indicator is nausea and/or vomiting.

I’ve been pregnant three times now and its something that happens that quick you feel fine one day and then the next day you suddenly change.

2. Dreaming.

I didn’t believe it until I experienced it but while your pregnant you dream some of the most ridiculous dreams.

3. Names.

Picking out a name for your baby for the rest of its life can seem nearly impossible.

4. Your FEET!

Like vomiting, this is another one of those good one day and bad the next. Your feet seriously swell during pregnancy and once you are done being pregnant your a shoe size bigger.

5. Bathroom Problems.


Your baby will put so much pressure on your bladder that you will feel like you will explode every second of the day unless you run to that bathroom.

6. Hair.

Whoever said your baby will be born with a full head of hair if you have a lot of heartburn during pregnancy was waaaay off. Heartburn is yet another symptom of pregnancy and that's it.

7. The Nose Knows.

Getting sick in the beginning of pregnancy is normal and some part of it has to do with your sense of smell. While pregnant smells become much stronger, making women steer clear of certain foods.

8. Labor.

You might poop during labor if you have a vaginal birth and that's ok because it happens quite often.

Pregnancy can be ugly, but not for everyone. Everyone will experience different symptoms but regardless of that, the end result is always the best, which is...HAVING THE BABY!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
