pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and fulfilling stage of every woman’s life whether married or un married but also very tasking. in this stage as a woman your body shape begins to change which is not always so very nice to you. you put on weight, get bigger and weaker as an actress once put it “i feel like a host” yes being pregnant makes you a host but not to a parasite but a little pure bundle of joy!
as a woman when you understand and appreciate the joy of being a mother and when you think of the beauty you would hold in your hands at the end of 9 months it becomes worth it! though i do not have a child yet, so it might seem surprising how i understand all this, the answer is, i have a very good imaginative mind!
at the first tri-mister its mostly fun because you and your partner are so excited to have a baby or another baby, so you both handle the vomiting and morning sickness with excitement.
getting to the second tri-mister if you are the type that likes been in control of her body you will start getting frustrated with clothes not fitting and swollen legs and feet, some eat excess while others less. from talks with friends of mine who have crossed that bridge i have come to realize that no matter how excited you are to have a baby there a re times when you just cant take it anymore.below I'll try to list some inconveniences that comes before the joy:
bigger clothes
no more rolling around the bed
food selection and high consumption
mid night cravings, i saw a lady who craved Ben's chocolate 11pm every night!
your face just doesn't look right anymore
you will less attractive to yourself and partner
difficulty to take a good bath standing
these are just a few i could get and I'm sure there are so much more varying from woman to woman
now the essence of this post is how can i be attractive during pregnancy especially when its obvious and bigger.
firstly i would say its a thing of the mind! yes the mind, some women complain ‘I'm so ugly!’ others say I'm like a buffalo’ if think like a buffalo of course you would look like one but if you think like a princess carrying a precious one you will look it trust me.
so the first step in feeling attractive during pregnancy is getting your mind straightened out! appreciate your baby, understand you look that way for a short while so that little cute one will have a chance in this world.
get beautiful colorful maternity wears, don't squeeze yourself in old clothes you will just look terrible, simple short free dresses, dress well to suit your present size.
keep your hair short and clean, i learnt pregnancy makes you allergic to the slightest sense of heat, so get a short hair style the allows ventilation so you don't need to scratch and scratch.
get maternity bras that will fit your pregnancy breast sizes, when you try to squeeze them into old bras, no matter the cloth you wear you breast will look really bad and unattractive.
eat well, whatever you crave or hunger for please take it, when you cravings aren't satisfied you become restless and unsettled.
sleep in well ventilated rooms and take lots of rest. so whenever you are up, you will feel alive and good to go.
engage in exercises daily to sharpen your strength and stamina
NOW MEN!
did you think i would skip them? of course they also have a part to play in making a woman look and feel attractive during pregnancy so if he’s close by let him have a read!
husbands/boyfriends compliment her especially when she really looks good to boost her confidence
buy her nice outfits if you see something you think will fit get it! it shows you appreciate her present size and want to help make it enjoyable
spend time with her and your baby tell and let them know how much you love them both and how you can't wait to have the baby too(honestly!)
supply her needs food or errands
help her out at the bathroom and take her out for evening strolls
together you will both have the most exciting anti-natal period!
I don't get to have a daily nap and am busy chasing around John Henry. ;) About the only "negatives" I can mention are heartburn, the same two stretchmarks from last time, and over-zealous kicks at some moments.
