So you just found out you're pregnant...

Here is a little unwanted advice for all you mamas basking in the joy of finally seeing that second line...

Enjoy every minute of not being big and not wearing maternity clothes. Sure you want everyone to see your bump, but once "everyone" can, you won’t care anymore and will just want it out (the baby that is).

Know this and write it down somewhere...you will forget how miserable you were in the last month. You will think you want to do it again. When you do it again, you will think, "this will be easy I’m experienced". But no, you will be even more miserable then the first time.

Don't bother buying alot of maternity clothes for when you are "really big". You only need like one pair of pants and two shirts. You will wear those on the rare occasions you leave the house. Invest in comfy PJ's for all other wardrobe needs.

Sleep, sleep, sleep…as much and as often as possible. Not only because you won’t be able to soon (like in the last trimester and the following 6-18 mos) but also because it helps ward off the irrational, easily irritated, moody, emotional, pregnancy induced insanity. No, but really...sleep helps.

Let people help you, with everything. If this is your second pregnancy make sure big brother or sister is good at following directions like: please get mommy's water from the table, please throw this in the garbage, please bring mommy a pillow, please pick up that sock because mommy can’t bend over...you get the idea.

Keep chocolate handy...enough said.

The bathroom will soon be your favorite room in the house...from hugging the toilet to peeing every five minutes, you will have lots of time in there to notice how dirty it is, but no energy to do anything about it.

Don’t weigh yourself...it’s depressing.

Don’t expect to be able to shave in the last trimester.

Enjoy eating what you want, when you want and do use the excuse that you’re eating for two. This is the only time in your life you can get away with it.

Enjoy sex while you can...soon you will want no one touching you...at least not there.

If you are one of those women who tries to hide the fact that you have gas, you will no longer be fooling anyone.

Don’t be depressed about menial tasks requiring such effort – bask in all the major accomplishments like getting up the stairs to your bedroom. And don’t be surprised when you forget why you went up there in the first place and you just lay down on your bed cause you are out of breath.

Yes, you did just pee your pants when you sneezed – wear a pantyliner.

It’s not a cold, it’s just a stuffy nose and you will have it for nine months. If and when you do get a cold you will have it for three to four weeks. Best bet - don't get a cold.

If this is your first pregnancy, enjoy your boobs, they will never be the same again.

Finally remember its only 9 months out of a likely 70 or 80 years of your life. The most incredible and amazing thing I have experienced in my life to date is seeing my newborn son for the first time and realizing that little human being was just inside of me minutes ago. We women have a privilege, and although it comes with some difficulties, you can do this and it is so worth it. ;)
