You know all those joyful (sarcastic voice, guys) things about pregnancy that we DON’T miss about being pregnant?

Norwegian illustrator and mother-of-two Line Severinsen began drawing cartoons of pregnancy problems back in 2012 while pregnant with her first child – and perfectly captures the array of challenges we ALL face.

And in fairness; when it comes to pregnancy and our raging hormones and all the craziness that comes as part of the deal, sometimes all you can do is laugh.

To the Huffington Post, Severinsen explains:

“I thought to myself that there is no way that no other people felt and looked like I did. So I wanted to create a counterpoint to help people like me to understand that they weren’t alone and that it is OK to feel and act less than perfect sometimes.”

We love it!

“It’s really rewarding to see that my drawings and experiences are resonating well with so many people,” the graphic designer explains.

“I now have a 3-year-old girl and a 5-month-old boy, which guarantees that I won’t run out of stories for many years to come.” We bet!
