Why Being Pregnant Is Great

Being pregnant is an exciting thing and here are some reasons why it is so great to be pregnant. First of all seeing your baby on that ultrasound for the first time is the most exciting thing and things become more real to you and your partner. When you have your first scan it is one of the longest scans but its all worth the time. You will be so excited when you see the first glimpse of your baby on the scan.

You’re probably waiting for your baby to move and he or she will around the 15 to 18week mark you will feel it and that is also very exciting. Don’t worry, you may not feel a lot or you might not recognise it for what is happening but you will, as the baby grows you will get lots of kicks.

Most of the time we spend our time watching out weight not to worry you may go up a few sizes but after the baby you just have to loose it all. I tell you now it is all worth it when you hold your baby in your arms. When you first start showing that your pregnant is very exciting, this is the time when people start noticing and commenting.

Now around the 3-4 month into your pregnancy or you may already have got your pregnancy clothes. You might have been a shopaholic before well now its an excuse to go get some new clothes because your going to need them. Also you will need to buy some clothes for your little one which is very exciting and there is so much to choose from. Also  you will need to start thinking about all the baby accessories for your little one such as a cot, pram, car seat, bath there is a lot of things to buy and all very exciting.

When you’re pregnant you can actually have an extra 1000kj a day which is normally in your last trimester and this is equal to two slices of wholemeal bread. You must maintain a good healthy diet for you and baby. And you can have an occasional treat it wont hurt you or your baby and it may fill in that craving or two. You may have cravings for chocolate or even things that are really abstract. You just follow your body and instincts but don’t go too overboard.

Pregnancy is very exciting but also you can be quite anxious but not to worry when you first see your new born baby it will be the best moment of your life. Sometimes it is hard to relax when your pregnant and that is normal but once you hold your baby it will be all alright and those worries will pass.

Now ladies and dads out there get excited because your going to be parents YAY!
