Things that people don't tell you before you get pregnant...

I know this was a topic I promised to revisit, but now I feel like I am learning some more things that deserve to be said.
My primary area of concern right now is that no one mentioned to me that morning sickness can return or finally rear its head in the third trimester.
Yes, I had the pleasure of vomiting for the first time since being pregnant just days ago, and have felt like I needed to more than once since then. In fact, right now, I am wanting to just lay down to make the nausea go away.
I made it all the way to 27 weeks without facing the toilet head on, and now, here I am, for the first time in months, unable to eat anything but a fish sandwich with ketchup and wondering where it went wrong?
Yes, even the old days craving has returned. Other than this, the only thing I can think of that I might possibly want to eat right now is a blue icee or some chocolate.
What the hell?
Really the only difference from this and about 15 weeks along is the tiny human kicking me in the gut. Well, that and the only clothes I can wear now are stretchy and nearly transparent because of the hot flashes. I can go from zero to about 25 degrees too hot in all of about 60 seconds.
The amount of sweat I seem to be able to conjure up within a minute or two is unreal. You would think I just had a great workout when all I might be doing is shopping or moving some laundry or even sitting in a room with a closed door.
Now I have heard of hot flashes and felt something similar when ill before, but this is just stupid.
I find myself thinking back to the days when women wore heavy layers of clothing all year and had no central air. Some people still don't. I think all those people deserve a blue icee machine.
I almost fear that something is wrong because my finger is not swollen today and my wedding ring just rolled around my finger on its own. I am not complaining, because I am getting a big hearty kick to thank me for eating that fish sandwich with extra ketchup.
It almost makes me sick to talk about it, but it tasted great.
Another thing I have recently been told is that one may experience severe headaches and a backache from the glorious treatment known as the epidural. How can something so right be so wrong? I do think I will probably just take my chances.
I got a list of 3, maybe 400 local pediatricians from the OB when I was there last week. He said it is time to try finding one so my baby will not just get a "hospital doctor". Without using so many words, he basically told me that these are like little trolls who live under the hospital bridge(or cafeteria), climb out to inspect your baby and try to steal their breath after they are born, and then are never seen or heard from again, until they return decades later to bargain for their soul. I guess Mr. W and I will have some phone calls to make.
I had the pleasure of taking my glucose challenge test yesterday, and despite some advice from other moms, just ate a normal breakfast and lunch, waited a couple hours and went in to drink the crap and wait. Oh pancreas(I think that is where insulin comes from), don't fail me now. Sitting there for one hour was torture. I cannot imagine the boredom involved with sitting in that lab for three hours. At the same time, not really wanting to trick the test(hey...if it ain't working, I would rather just know), I would prefer to have accurate results. I will keep you posted in the event that I am a lucky winner of the 3 hour test, or GD-if so, I am sure more posts will follow, as I imagine a filet of fish and ketchup would not be included in that diet.
Just a few other things I hadn't been warned about would be the shifting of all my fat(to be specific, I feel like I have a belly full of baby, on top of a saggy kangaroo pouch), constant lower back pain, and less then desirable skin changes which can include acne, new moles, skin tags, hypersensitivity to the sun, and many other joys beyond stretchmarks.
