Disgusting Things That Pregnancy Does To Your Body

Vibrant Varicose Veins

Increased blood volume creates varicose veins, which makes the body look like a road map. A pregnant woman's boobs could pass for parts of the Rocky Mountain chain, and her thighs look like the coastline of Spain. Increased blood volume also causes many women to experience nosebleeds more frequently. Make sure that there is facial tissue everywhere - in the purse, in the car, at the office, and remember not to panic the next time that you suddenly develop a nose bleed for no reason whatsoever. It's not your fault.

Red Hot Mama

Pregnant women do not need to go to the sauna (and are not supposed to do so). But even if they wanted to, they do not need to – they are already a fiery inferno due to their malfunctioning personal heating system. Thank the whacked out pregnancy hormones for this experience. This can benefit a woman's partner on cold winter nights but makes sleeping in the summer practically impossible. Unfortunately, this makes her sweat at the drop of a hat, and often from places on her body where she never knew she could sweat from. Invest in air-drying bras, tops and bottoms, and maybe even in the companies that make them. Also consider running a fan nearby at all times.
