  • Discover how pregnancy changes every organ in the body- from the heart, to the brain and kidneys- and what we still don’t know about it.
    --
    Muscles and joints shift and jostle. The heart’s pounding rhythm speeds up. Blood roars through arteries and veins. Over the course of a pregnancy, every organ in the body changes. Initiated by a range of hormones, these changes begin as soon as a pregnancy begins. Explore what we know- and don’t know- about pregnancy's effects on the body and brain.

    I wish someone would do a video on all of the symptoms of pregnancy that no one really talks about- like urinary incontinence and hot flashes- but also how the hardest part of being pregnant isn't really the physical aspects, but the mental and emotional toll that being pregnant takes.
    Its months of interrupted sleep and constantly monitoring your position so you're not laying on your back or stomach. Its depriving yourself of your favorite foods or drinks- whether because they're unsafe for baby or because food aversions mean you can't eat roasted vegetables anymore.
    Its drinking so much water that you get tired of the way water tastes.
    Its how carrying a basket of laundry upstairs is suddenly so much harder than it was a month before. Its the way your belly gets in the way when you're doing dishes.
    All of these things add up. Pregnancy is a huge disruption to any person's way of life. And its exhausting.
    I'm in week 33 of my second pregnancy....and im so tired of being pregnant. Thats the worst part.

But having to change my sleeping position that I have grown accustomed to for the past 30+ years to become a side sleeper has been really hard. I also feel like it's hard to go out to dinner because I have to consider all the things I cannot have and also how things were cooked for meats that it's a bit exhausting and makes me just want to stay home and cook my own meal because I know everything in it and such. I am very thankful to be pregnant though since it took us a while but it can be stressful and emotionally & physically exhausting at times!

    Pregnancy is amazing it’s the miracle of life. I was pregnant and had experience all these symptoms for 7 months, then my baby passed away in my womb. I gave birth to her without epidural, it’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. Unfortunately, a lot women feel alone when they have stillbirth because people were there for them when they were pregnant but not after when they give birth to a sleeping baby, and that’s the time where they need the most support. A lot of people don’t want to talk about this because it makes others uncomfortable but that is part of the problem. People need to know about this because even if you set it aside and ignore it, it’ll happen to someone you know and they are suffering in silence. Ted Ed, I hope you make a video bout the subject to bring some kind of awareness.

      Men definitely should not force their significant other to have children. I do believe that they reserve the right to move on and be with someone else who has a similar perspective on children and family. This is an issue best addressed by the couple before engagement/marriage or even earlier in the relationship.
