It Is Hard To Be Pregnant
Pregnancy is not easy that is for sure. Until you have that crying but wonderful thing that you have carried in your womb for nine months in your arms, you will be a nervous wreck. Your body will not feel as though it is yours and you will be left wondering what I do. You will love the outcome, but there will be days where you wonder if you will be good at it.
At first you think about what you are supposed to do. What do you eat? How much do you eat? Everyone says that they have answers for you, but any doctor will tell you that there are no two exact same pregnancies. Therefore, you take the tips that people give you and apply them. You see if they work for you. If not, then you move on. Yet, it is time consuming.
You begin to wonder just how good of a parent you will be. There are reasons for this. You think of things that friends encounter with their children then you think to yourself how I will ever handle that. Kids have all sorts of doziest and you have to be prepared. Are you ready? The answer is no woman ever is. You just buck up and go on. Then you begin shopping and see that every toy you look at even baby bath toys has age restrictions.
Your body is changing right before your very eyes. Your stomach is growing. Your feet and ankles are swelling. You are huge, but people want to rub your stomach like you are Buddha and before long you are snapping at people because you are not comfortable and want to relax. Others are fussing over your weight and that glow.
Other things are happening to your body. You begin noticing things about your skin. It might be dryer than it ever has been. You might develop stretch marks. You think these are disasters, but they are not really all that bad. Break out the dry skin care products and lather up. That is all that it takes.
There is hope. You think you know it all, but when it really comes down to it different people are always telling you different things. Who do you trust? What is right for your baby and you? At this point, that is all that matters. That is why they have developed parenting classes to prep you for when that wonderful baby is born. Everyone will try to teach you differently. Stick to the experts.
Yes, we know it is hard. Many of us swear that afterwards we would do it over, but as we are walking around with this big belly we swear the other way around. It is all worth it in the end when you hold that precious being in your arms. Remember, you are not alone and you will do just fine.
