Sadly, I cannot claim this blog as my own. The following list was put together by Helena Jordao (another World Racer). However, it was too good not to repost it!
I hope you enjoy!

While I've never literally been pregnant, I've heard about the experience from many of my friends. Here's why the World Race is a whole lot like pregnancy:
-
Morning nausea is a normal occurrence
-
You never know what your body is gonna do the next day
-
Ladies gain weight
-
Stretchy clothes!! YESSS!!!!
-
Craving chocolate and peanut butter ALL THE TIME
-
Eating the craziest foods ever
-
“Will I ever get enough sleep?”
-
Barf Barf Barf Barf Barf
-
“Is there something growing inside me?”
-
“Do I need to go to the doctor?”
-
Some things you want to eat are no longer safe
-
You get really excited about playing with kids
-
You plan on getting back in shape afterwards
-
Tears Tears Tears Tears Tears
-
You start hating all of your clothes
-
Your vision changes
-
Emotions run wild
-
The men are sent to buy chocolate
-
People follow your progress, so you post pictures weekly
-
People ask what month you’re on (hahahaha)
-
Your life will never be the same afterwards
-
In the end, you’re gonna have to push, and everybody’s gonna cry and take a lot of pictures
- A brand new person is coming home
