I read every book and website about pregnancy and some might say I was slightly obsessed. We decided to start trying for a baby following a trip to Europe, and had no idea what we were getting ourselves into! The pregnancy industry is amazing and now I've had the baby I've found out how huge the parenting industry is too. So I guess that was the first thing I realised: It's a whole new world. I think you have to take the advice given by all the magazines, books and websites with a grain of salt. I went into this pregnancy with the attitude that less is best. I would try not to buy too much 'stuff'. The only problem is that baby stuff is so cute!
I also had no idea how many ailments/pains/discomforts happen to pregnant women, some of which I've listed below.
