Pregnancy is a popular topic as an adult woman, and it can sometimes feel like everyone\u2019s talking about it. So now that you\u2019re pregnant, you know the ropes, right? You know about giving up alcohol, caffeine and sushi, you know about the morning sickness and swelling, and you\u2019re ready. Except there might be a little more to the story. Here are the parts of pregnancy people never tell you about.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sore Breasts<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest indicators of pregnancy can be soreness in a woman\u2019s breast. A pregnancy causes your body to send signals to parts of your body that it\u2019s time to get going. The resulting soreness is caused by your breasts preparing for milk production — extra blood flow, fat production and the ever-so-lovely hormones.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Keen Sense of Smell<\/b><\/h3>\n

The increased amount of estrogen in your body can heighten a pregnant woman\u2019s sense of smell. While this can sound like a fun perk, it can often cause increased morning sickness as unpleasant smells are intensified. To help avoid recurring nausea from smells, try chewing gum or being more particular about scents in your daily routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Constipation<\/b><\/h3>\n

A generally taboo topic, constipation is something many pregnant women suffer from. When pregnant, your body starts pumping more and more progesterone–with the intent of relaxing your uterine muscles to avoid early contractions. An unfortunate side effect of this relaxing is dreaded constipation. Eating small meals with extra fiber and drinking lots of water can provide some much needed relief.<\/span><\/p>\n

All. Of. The. Sweat.<\/b><\/h3>\n

When people refer to the fact that you\u2019re glowing, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s because you\u2019re perpetually sweating<\/a>. Once pregnant, your body fires on all cylinders to prepare and grow that tiny human. Your hormone production,  metabolism and blood flow all kick into high gear, making you, well, sweaty.  Hence, glowing. As always, stay hydrated!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve exposed pregnancy\u2019s best kept secrets, you\u2019re ready to make that tiny human. Remember that even though pregnancy isn\u2019t always pretty, it is <\/span>always<\/span><\/i> worth it.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
