The human body is nothing short of miraculous, and during pregnancy it manages to do some wild and downright clever things to accommodate the little human growing inside.
2.Babies can poo during labour, which will make the amniotic fluid contain meconium (which is a dark sticky substance that is essentially a little one's first poop).
9.The reason for those famous pregnancy cravings is debated, but theories include heightened hormones and that having someone else get the craved food shows reassurance to the person who is pregnant.
10.You might've wondered what happens to your organs during pregnancy. Well, they shift to make room for the baby.
11.Most people know that the breasts change during pregnancy, but did you know your nipples can darken significantly in colour?!
16.Twins can be born years apart. This happens if the parents have IVF and use the same batch of embryos from the same treatment cycle at different times.
