(me @ 14 weeks)
1. You can NOT eat for two when you are pregnant. Trust me. I've done that. You will become three people if you do that - two of yourself and one baby.
2. The best clothing investments are non maternity clothes that are flowy and stretchy. My favorite "maternity" yoga pants are pants that I have worn over and over since the birth of Emet (and that was almost five years ago.)
3. Flossing is a must when you are pregnant. I can justify an accidental flossing "skip" when I'm not pregnant, but if I go even one day of not flossing when I'm pregnant, my gums will bleed the next day.
4. Most yoga poses can be adapted to a pregnant body using props. And that's important to my state of body and mind.
5. Being pregnant makes my husband get stuff done for me. So I milk it while I can...
6. There's no shame in your belly "popping out" early. Especially if you've already had a baby - everything's already stretchy so it just happens. Embrace it.
What have you learned about being pregnant?

I have not yet learned but enjoyed reading about your experiences.
Thank you C
I've learned that my babies (with whom I was once pregnant) are now my best friends.
Aww, that's really sweet, mom. =)
Thank you for sharing your experience. :-)
