8 Embarrassing Pregnancy Problems You Need to Know About

1. Your Nipples Itch: Your girls are prepping for breastfeeding--and that stretching makes them itch! 

- Get relief from lanolin cream or cocoa butter.

2. You Pee Your Pants a Little: That growing baby puts pressure on your bladder.

- Make legels--and hourly bathroom breaks--your new BFFs. (And psst: pantiliners!)

3. You've Got (Lots of) Discharge: Blame rising estrogen levels for those excess secretions.

But unless it itches, burns, or has a strong odor, don't worry. 

- Wear cotton undies and a pantiliner.

4. You're Gassy: Space is tight in your belly, making digestion erratic. 

- Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding fatty foods can help.

5. You've Got Acne: You're breaking out like a teenager, thanks to hormonal changes.

- But your go-to zit cream may not be pregnancy-safe, so talk to your doc about alternatives.

6. You're Having Crazy Dreams: New sleep patterns can cause strange (x-rated!) dreams.

- But unless they stress you out or disrupt your sleep don't worry!

7. You've Developed Hemorrhoids: Those painful bumps come from baby's weight pressing on the veins in your groin.

- Keep constipation in check: Eating fiber-rich foods and drink lots of water.

8. You're Super-Horny (or Not): Your libido might skyrocket (increased blood flow!) or bottom out (exhaustion!).

- Connect with your partner through sex or cuddling--or both.
