1. You Will Think You're Going To Die. All The Time.
What if you don't make it to hospital in time? Or if you can't handle the pain? What if you DIE? It's not impossible, but pregnancy-related deaths are low, and it's mainly irrational fear that will freak you out the most. No matter how many times you remind yourself that the female body has been pushing out babies for millenniums, you can't help but lose it every time you feel the action going on inside you. Kind of turns the cliche Hollywood version of women in labour screaming "You did this to me!" at their husbands slightly more reasonable, don't you think? Whether you're a mum, mum-to-be or dad that's seen it all, feel free to share your monstrous pregnancy stories in the comments below.
