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.

Screen Shot 2015-11-11 at 15.37.27 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."

"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!
