Every pregnant woman has experienced
pregnancy blahs. I can remember feeling so big and unattractive throughout my two pregnancies, and secretly wishing for
pregnancy to be over so that I could have my body back and fit into my normal clothes. It’s sad to say, really, because pregnancy is such a beautiful experience and
fact that you created this little human being that is developing in your body should make you feel wonderful through every step of
way.Oh, but those pregnancy blahs kick in! Your stomach is growing, you cannot fit into your normal clothes, you can’t see your feet, you waddle when you walk, your feet and legs are swollen, and other additional physical changes make you feel, well, blah! Sometime during your pregnancy, you may even start to feel bored with
pregnancy and/or feel depressed. Yes, those raging hormones kick in too.
Here are some tips in helping to beat those pregnancy blahs:
1) Eat healthy and get plenty of rest. Choose healthy foods and ensure that your intake is nutritious.
2) Exercise. Even a short walk in
outdoors will uplift your spirits.
3) Make yourself feel attractive by taking
time to groom yourself. Do your hair and put on makeup. We all feel so confident and alive when we look good.
4) Buy maternity outfits that will make you feel good. Don’t buy just because they fit you.
5) Ensure to include pretty accessories in your daily wardrobe such as nice earrings or a pretty scarf. Most of us raid our spouse’s closet for clothes that we can wear throughout our pregnancy. Lovely accessories even dress up your spouse’s wardrobe.
