What I Learned While I Was Pregnant

posted on 20 May 2011 | posted in Health and Beauty


Before I got pregnant, I thought pregnancy would be a magical time. There were so many things that I did not know would happen to me while pregnant. First of all, I got morning sickness for two whole months. Every day, I would get ill when I merely smelled certain foods. Secondly, I gained a lot of weight extremely fast - I was in maternitywear before the first trimester was over. I knew that I would gain weight during pregnancy, but I did not know that you actually gain at least one to two pounds each week! I also didn’t realize that I would have to use the bathroom so much. My sleep was really interrupted while I was pregnant because the baby would push on my bladder. Finally, I did not know how much babies love to kick and squirm while they are inside of the womb. My baby did it all day long for most of the day, and it was really distracting when I was trying to get some work done. I liked being pregnant, but I wish I had known some of these things before!
