FIGHTING THE PREGNANCY BLAHS

Every pregnant woman has experienced the pregnancy blahs. I can
remember feeling so big and unattractive throughout my two
pregnancies, and secretly wishing for the 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 the
fact that you created this little human being that is developing in your
body should make you feel wonderful through every step of the 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 the
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 the outdoors will uplift your
spirits.

3) Make yourself feel attractive by taking the 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.

6) If you start to feel bored with your pregnancy, choose an activity
that you will enjoy to help you through the boredom. Many woman will
prepare for the baby by going shopping or decorating the nursery. Other
woman choose a hobby such as gardening, preparing a scrapbook, writing
in a pregnancy journal, etc.

7) Roughly 10 percent of women experience mild or moderate depression
during pregnancy. If you feel persistent depression or anxiety, seek
professional help.

8) Spend quality time with your spouse. Go for a romantic dinner or
out to a movie. Enjoy this time because it's hard to find time after
the baby is born.

9) Take time out for yourself. Motherhood is just around the corner
so take this time to enjoy your independence.

Although it may seem like 9 months is taking forever, really, it goes
very quickly. Enjoy the wonderful experience of pregnancy each step
of the way. There will be a time in our lives when our children have
grown up and we wish to live the pregnancy experience all over again.

You can beat the pregnancy blahs! Feel good about being a woman and
feel good about bringing a wonderful new baby into the world.

MOTHERHOOD QUOTES
*********************************************

IF I HAD MY CHILD TO RAISE OVER AGAIN

If I had my child to raise over again,
I'd finger-paint more and point my finger less.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I'd be firm less often, and affirm much more.
If I had my child to raise over again,
I'd teach less about the love of power
And more about the power of love.

-Diane Loomans (adapted)
