Pregnancy truly is a miraculous process, but an odd one, too. The changes that a woman’s body undergoes while physically growing a human being are often like something straight out of a science fiction movie.
Between the morning sickness, crushing exhaustion, fluctuating hormones, and your bladder being squashed like a grape, pregnancy can occasionally seem less like a miracle & more like, “Are we done yet??”.
The parents of Twitter are here to share the grittier realities of being pregnant; laugh along with them as they dish on the real pregnancy deal.
Here are 16 Funny Tweets About Pregnancy That Will Make You Question Your Life Choices

At least you’ll get your body back once the pregnancy ends… bahaha! Just kidding.
