Mum gets BRUTALLY honest about the pitfalls of pregnancy – including projectile vomiting, weird nipples and wanting to murder her husband
A mummy blogger has said pregnancy should be considered an "illness"
SOME mums talk of getting a pregnancy glow when they were expecting their baby – but one honest mum has shared the brutal reality.
Speaking of weird nipples, haemorrhoids and vomiting, London-based blogger Tova Leigh revealed the not-so-glamorous truth of carrying a child.
Tova said: “I heard how a lot of people talk about how pregnancy is not an illness.
“Let’s examine the symptoms.
“You’ve got your morning sickness, also known as ‘all the freaking day long sickness,' projectile vomiting, haemorrhoids, heartburn, sensitivity to smells that even your own breath makes you want to gag, loss of memory, mood swings, dizziness and lots of gas, like yeah, lots of gas!
“Crazy cravings, wanting to kill people who touch your belly without permission and wanting to kill your husband for no apparent reason, apart from the fact he’s just so annoying.”
Listing a whole host of other ailments that include headaches and nipples turning brown, Tova said that these symptoms warrant pregnancy being considered an illness.
She said: “If you put all these symptoms into Google, Google is sending you an ambulance.
“I’d like the option of having the option of doing f*** all for nine months.”
The popular mum said that there should be a spa available for mums to check into for the duration of their pregnancy.
She joked: “I don’t want to cook, I don’t want to clean, I want to be pampered.
“I want to know why nobody has invented a pregnancy spa where women can just check in as soon as they miss their period and just stay there until the baby pops out.
“I’m thinking pedicures and manicures, facials, sitting in the sun, sipping some purified water, sleeping all day long.”
This isn’t the first time Tova has entertained mums online.
Last year she claimed children should not be praised children should not be praised for skills they don’t have in a hilarious rant.
She said in the video: "I am so done with telling my kids that they are great and super talented at doing stuff they are not very good at.”
Holding up a piece of orange paper with stickers on it she said: "Telling your kid they have an extraordinary talent at arts or something. And then you show me this.
"They're 12 years old and this is what they're doing in arts class. Don't tell them they're artistic. It was rubbish. He's not going to be an artist."
