Pregnant women may think acne was behind them, left there with the teen years, drama, and hormones. But they were wrong. Welcome to raging hormones that kick start acne all over again (or for the first time for those women who lucked out during their teen years). And acne is not happy to show up just on their face. Pregnant women often find pimples on their butt and boobs too. And in the places that generally do not get acne, be prepared to discover that body hair has gone into hyper production anywhere and everywhere! To top it off, be prepared for mood swings that rival the biggest meanest roller coaster. Ecstatic one moment, bawling the next.

When the baby starts moving around, it is not content with just a gentle nudge. A woman's insides take a beating. It is like being tackled by an MMA fighter, kicked by a ninja, and punched by the Almighty Thor. So not only does the stomach insides take a beating, it looks like an alien is about to burst out of the pregnant woman's chest to everyone around them. It can be freaky for non-parents to watch.Don't be surprised, at this stage of the pregnancy, if friends become distant or, alternately, beg to touch the baby belly. Be firm about who is allowed to touch the belly and who isn't.
