It’s important to be aware of your body during pregnancy, and to talk to your ob-gyn about even the most mortifying of your symptoms. Pregnancy can slow down the digestive system while also decreasing your control over the muscles around it, leading to embarrassing gas problems. The fetus can also place pressure on the bladder, leading to incontinence, especially when sneezing or laughing. Pregnancy-related hormones can also lead to embarrassing hair growth in unwanted areas of the body, although you can reduce this with tweezers and waxing.

Key Takeaways:

• Many pregnant women know what to expect in pregnancy such as knowing that their belly was going to expand and that they would often be tired.
• Some of the things that happen to a woman’s body during pregnancy can be shocking such as her legs swelling up.
• The gastrointestinal tract can be slowed down during pregnancy and make a woman gassy and this is because pregnancy brings about a hormonal surge that does this.

“Despite the embarrassment, it’s most important to not be shy: Your ob-gyn needs to know what’s going on with you to make sure your pregnancy is on track.”
