Your pregnancy is different from your friend or neighbour. But this phase is profoundly transformative. Within just a matter of a few weeks, your body will start expanding and your baby bump will also start showing. Besides, you might experience a huge change in your psyche. After all, your family is expanding and it is natural for you to feel anxious. In fact, the anxiety could be about anything – finances, family structure, childcare options, and many more.
However, apart from the pregnancy discomforts and challenges mentioned above, there are a few things that you’re just going to love about being pregnant.
Comfortable Clothes
May in your first trimester, you hardly need to think about what you can wear. You can in fact wear anything that you feel like. However, as soon as your baby bump shows, you think about revamping your wardrobe with maxi dresses, high-waist flowy skirts, loose shirt dresses, mommy jeans, and anything soft and comfy for wearing.
Your Hair and Skin Look Glowing and Great
It’s true! As soon as your belly comes out, your acne-prone, dull, and pale-looking skin suddenly becomes radiant. Also, due to the hormonal fluctuations, you will have thick hair.
Getting an Excuse to Nap
Your body is almost like a factory now. It is working hard to nurture a life inside and that takes a toll on your body. This might make you feel tired. Moreover, during pregnancy, the volume of blood and water in your body increases by 40% and 50%. This additional fluid along with your weight gain can make you feel tired.
Feeling Your Baby Move
There cannot be anything more amazing than feeling your baby swim inside you for the first time. However, as you progress with your pregnancy, you might feel your little one inside you punch in your bladder or ribs.
Never Boring
Every week, during your pregnancy, is different than your previous one – inside out. The changes definitely come with their challenges and stresses, but during this time you will be the center of attention. You will get enormous attention from the elder members of your family, and friends. You will get some chance to spend with yourself only, by pampering yourself with a pregnancy-friendly facial, manicure, and pedicure.
You Get Special Treatment Even While You’re Traveling
When people see you travelling with your baby bump, they offer you their seat.
Your Breast May Be Big, but that’s not Bad
Those extra volumes of water make your breast tissue grow big in size as it gets ready to hold the milk before your little one arrives.
You Crave Weirdly
In fact, you make the strangest combination when it comes to food – pickles and ice creams. You wake up in the middle of the night craving for pickles or ice creams or even sweets, but the trick is to have everything in small quantities and in well -balance.
Pregnancy is a long journey a woman’s life, but a beautiful one. Enjoy every aspect of your pregnancy till such time that you deliver your baby.
