The areola (the area around nipple) will darken during pregnancy. Though this can happen because of a hormonal imbalance if you’re not pregnant

You may start feeling faint or dizzy if you stand still for too long. This is because as your uterus grows it can put pressure on major arteries in your legs causing blood supply to slow making you feel light headed. Also eating infrequently can lower your blood sugar which is a vital nutrient to growing baby.

With your uterus swelling, this puts pressure onto your bladder making you feel like needing a wee more frequently. Most woman feel this a week or two after becoming pregnant.

The hormones during pregnancy slow down your bowel movements. This gives your body more time to get nutrients out of your food, thus causing constipation. Unfortunately this will happen all way through pregnancy and in most cases get worse as pregnancy progresses. Making sure you eat a healthy diet full of fibre and nutrients can help ease discomfort.

On other hand many couples feel that pregnancy can do wonders for sex life. Many men may be aroused by fuller breasts and rounder hips of a pregnant partner. Some women feel great about not having to worry about contraceptives and periods.

Well beyond all of that is actual partaking in sexual intercourse where some people often worry. Of course as pregnancy develops, missionary position becomes impossible, which on a plus side forces into exploring other ways to make love. A few ideas are:

- Woman on top – this not only gives man a great view, but also lets woman stay in control of position and penetration.

- Rear entry positions – take time to find a position that is comfortable for you these rear entry positions also allow man more penetration

- Spoons – this is where both partners lye on their side and man penetrates from behind, this gives shallower penetration which is more comfortable for some ladies during later stages of pregnancy
