Play the pregnancy card, you deserve it!
Every pregnancy is different, but there are some tips that all moms to be should follow. Also, you probably didn’t think of it, but there’s an upside to being pregnant while surrounded by distant family. It will be revealed in a little bit.
As you know, alcohol is not allowed during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. Sodas, as well as non-organic juices, can cause nausea, vomiting, even harm to your baby. Stick to water and freshly squeezed juices.
Celebrations are a great temptation when it comes to food, even for the most disciplined pregnant women. In addition to excess weight, overeating leads to heartburn, abdominal pain, and other digestive problems. After all, holidays are always associated with tons of food, the sweetest cakes, cheese plates, and roasted turkey. The question is – how to resist? Follow at least the basic rules regarding nutrition.
When it comes to other activities, such as dancing or hiking, it’s best to stick to your routine. Listen to what’s your body telling you. Don’t try to compete with others; you are not ill, but you are carrying a baby, which is lovely, but also exhausting.
No, you won’t be able to wear a little black dress and look like a million dollars. Do the makeup and wear whatever feels most comfortable at the moment. Women tend to be too hard on themselves, especially late in pregnancies. However, that’s just additional stress, and you and your unborn child don’t need it.
There is an issue of overprotective relatives. The rest will want to touch your belly all the time, so it’s time to pull that pregnancy card. Every person will have something to say. Smile, nod, and when you feel like ending a conversation, excuse yourself and say: “Baby doesn’t like the smell.” Get creative and blame that baby for everything.
When you’re surrounded by extended family, there’s a huge chance you’ll feel like you are a teenager again. Come up with a signal to let your partner know you aren’t in the mood to talk anymore. If the family tries to treat you like a baby, you have two options: let them spoil you or come up with a migraine. It’s your body and your baby, so don’t let the others ruin these special moments for you!
