Being a mother will fill life with pleasant surprises but even being pregnant has its own share of surprises. Here are ten of them. Not that all are pleasant ones but all of them are unique as they will occur because you are pregnant.
Ten Things To Surprise Pregnant Women
-
Surprise Number 1: You will find yourself cleaning wardrobes, closets and arranging stuff all over the house. Things you never imagined to do in the last month of pregnancy but this nesting instinct will make you do so.
-
Surprise Number 2: You will become forgetful because of the hormonal changes that will be taking place. Make lists of things you have to do so that you can help yourself.
-
Surprise Number 3: Mood swings are common in this phase but too much of it means you need to see a doctor. Being moody also includes not being able to stop eating or complete avoidance of food.
-
Surprise Number 4: Increasing bra size can be another problem. Your breast size will continue growing throughout the phase. The increase in lung size to allow better breathing for both the mother and the child, will also bring about increase in the size of rib cage.
-
Surprise Number 5: The glow in skin that comes with pregnancy is due to hormonal changes. Itchy skin in your abdomen can be cured by creams prescribed by your doctor. All these changes are reversible but the darkening of nipples is permanent.
-
Surprise Number 6: Your hair will grow faster in this phase but you will lose hair once you stop breast feeding. Nails become stronger and often split , so it is better to keep them trimmed.
-
Surprise Number 7: Well not only will you have to buy an entire new wardrobe but you need larger shoes also as your feet will get bigger by retaining a lot of fluid.
-
Surprise Number 8: Go slow as you are secreting relaxin now. This hormone loosens the ligaments that would make the joints more prone to injury.
-
Surprise Number 9: Constipation is something that will trouble you throughout these nine months. It is better you eat a fiber rich diet.
-
Surprise Number 10: Not only will your baby come out of your body with amniotic fluid and blood; but also you might feel nausea and want to vomit. You might lose control of your bladder and bowels too.
The eleventh and the best surprise will be the bundle of joy…..for sure.
