Random Thoughts During Pregnancy

> When you’re pregnant, and want the best for your baby, you’ll do everything to get the stress and negativities out of your life. This will make you realize that there are only few people you want to spend your time with.

> One's capacity and energy levels change during pregnancy. Unless you're in your second trimester, you can't work as hard as you used to. At this point, it can be difficult to accept your pregnancy. You will be able to overcome all of the guilt and shame you feel with the help of your husband.

> It will be difficult to realise that you are carrying a human being, until you hear the heartbeat and see the figure of the developing human within your body using an ultrasound equipment.

> Pregnancy is too precious to be ignored. It provides you a surreal experience of God’s power and mercy.

> It allows you to identify who really cares for you. Others won’t understand the symptoms you’re feeling, and won’t even try. Some also won’t care if they’re causing you physical, emotional, or mental stress. Your people will show their care and love for you in every way.

> You can hug your unborn baby by choosing to be around the people and things that make you happy. Feel-good hormones in action!

> It’s amazing how humans are capable to love someone who hasn’t even born yet.

> I found out that once a woman becomes pregnant or has her own child, everything else will never be the same again. A part of herself will change forever. It can be good or bad, depending on where you’ll look at.
