Pregnancy, childbirth and then raising a child are not all coo's, ahh's and a mush of cuddly goodness. There are curses that come to women once pregnancy and its aftermath take over a women's body.

Curse #1

You get fat. Yep. Some women may look beautiful pregnant but others look like blobs. That "healthy glow" really only happens from hours spent over the toilet during bouts of morning sickness. In fact every woman who wants a healthy glow should actually try this: Lean head over toilet bowl, heave, repeat. You will have a "healthy glow" in no time and will be able to get rid of all those lotions and potions that don't really work.

Curse #2

You have to pee. This happens through out all stages of pregnancy and its aftermath. You smile, you have to pee. You laugh, you have to pee. You cry, you have to pee. You sneeze, you have probably peed yourself. It is just something women have to deal with for the rest of there lives after giving birth. Let me give you a hint too: It doesn't matter if you had a c-section or not, having an 8 lb fetus jumping up and down on your bladder for 9 months will ruin the way you think about peeing for the rest of your life. In fact you will probably stop thinking about peeing since just the thought makes you want to pee. Reading this has probably given you the urge also.

Curse #3

The creatures err kids that come out of you are not all loving and sweet. Most times that is just a disguise. A baby is beautiful sleeping but when that crying begins and you cannot figure out if it's a dirty diaper, hunger or just plain fussiness you will know what I mean.

Curse #4

Your body will never be the same. Not only will you have to pee constantly but you will have these marks on your body called stretch marks. These vicious brands will appear on your backside, stomach and breast area. You can cream and tan until you are about to get cancer of some form but they will remain.

Curse #5

A baby makes unidentifiable smells at times. Often they are strong and pungent too. Once indentified you should expect to feel queasiness, possible retching and an argument to ensure with your significant other about who fed the baby that.

Curse #6

God, Linda...sshh! You want to get to that grandparent phase when our own beloved "brats" produce the world's most adorable kids (that needless to say, we can send home)?? Well, ixnay on the ukepay, woman! ; ) Having carried five of these creatures in my body,each one larger than the previous tennant, and having nursed them until, roughly, kindergarten. I feel ya, sister! I recall over the years there were days I felt no one could come through this parenting phase sanely. And times with each one when I could have died happy from the sense of pure love and gratitude. And it didn't take much to turn one into the other on the same day. You've cultivated a wonderfully balanced sense of humor. Thanks so much for sharing! (Keep thinking: Some day this will make a funny story... some day this will make a...)

And I can answer Charlotte's question - the stars have access to after pregnancy liposuction and round the clock personal trainers - and probably, nannies so they can take advantage of both.

I laughed out loud when I read this one. Love the humor -and the truth. When I read this, I wonder why anyone would have more than one child...but somehow I still would go back and have all 3 of mine again, knowing that I'd gain 44 pounds with one pregnancy, deal with live snakes left in pants pockets (discovered on laundry day) and worse. Pregnancy alone...never did understand women who "glowed" during pregnancy. I looked horrible!

Good article.

This is fun but also way too truthful, isn't it? But tell me, how do those Hollywood stars manage to NEVER get fat after having a child?
