We all have our ideas of what pregnancy would be like, whether that involves a lot more junk food, or weird and wonderful cravings.
But how many people talk about what it is actually like, without disguising the worst bits?
In this video, a group of women talk about the things they learned during pregnancy, including what they thought it would be like, and the biggest physical struggles they faced.
"The biggest thing I learned about pregnancy, is that it is not joyful for everybody."
The question is asked: "What did you think being pregnant would be like?"
"I thought it was going to be a magical time of rest and relaxation," one woman says.
Others mention not having to suck in their gut as being something they were looking forward to.
