INDULGE YOURSELF

For some strange reason, some pregnant women often worry about the father of their unborn child than themselves. Throughout my pregnancy, I've met with many women at pre-natal clinics and they just wont stop talking about their men; "my husband is not happy about this baby," "my boyfriend wants to end this relationship," "the father of my child is so supportive, he rubs my back," "he says I'm getting too fat," "he knows I'm pregnant and he wants me to do everything," and, he this and he that! Do you think that these women need psychological help to cope with their obsessive behaviour over their spouse/partner?

OR, do you think that these women should start focusing on themselves? 

Ladies, pregnancy is a time to indulge yourself! Instead of worrying over your spouse/partner, there are a lot of things you do to make yourself happier. We know that stress is familiar part of women's lives but we sometimes forget that excessive stress during pregnancy can cause severe health problems with your unborn child. Pregnancy may feel as a never ending journey because we are so impatient for our happiness to arrive. There are ways to flip the stress and channel good energy into the life of both you and your unborn child.

• SO, here is a list of things you can do to not feel unwanted during and after your pregnancy. Lets try to work on your self esteem and what makes you happy.
• If you buy a scale to weigh yourself, you will will be able to monitor your size and change your diet.
• consult a doctor to change your eating patterns; being pregnant doesn't mean you have to eat for two.
• Sleep is important for baby's growth and development and, to repair your own body tissues.
• Caring for yourself: consult a doctor for appropriate vitamins/minerals for hair, bones, teeth and skin
• Join pregnancy groups/forums to ask questions and discuss about similar experiences and get solutions 
• INDULGE YOURSELF:  a favourite film, dish, snack, novel, hobby, SHOPPING, massage, planting, yoga, make-over (manicure, pedicure), travel, meet up with friends and almost anything that will make you happy. 
• LASTLY, think of your SPOUSE/PARTNER because that is when they will think of you FIRST!!!!

 Here is a picture of me, 9 months pregnant. It was worth every effort of indulging myself into the things I love.

Here is an informative/interesting site for expecting mothers:   http://www.babycenter.in/
