1. Taking Pleasure in the Attention of Relatives:
Anticipate the joy of your parents becoming grandparents. Expect to be regarded like a delicate flower during your parents’ nine-month caretaking duties.
2. You Won’t Have to Do Any Heavy Lifting:
Technically, you could still do a little bit, but since most people don’t realize this, you’re free to settle back and project manage any upcoming house transfers.
3. You Will Always Get a Seat:
Whether you’re on the train, bus, or visiting friends, you will always be offered a seat. As soon as your bump is big enough to be a definite pregnancy bump (and not a food baby), people will be tripping over each other to offer you their seat.
4. You Can Win Every Argument Because, You Know, You’re Pregnant:
Nobody wants to argue with the pregnant woman or make her cry. Irrationality is almost expected from pregnant women, so use this to your advantage.
5. Massages Have Become a Way of Life:
Enjoy the pampering massages that come as part of the pregnancy package.
6. Your Boobs Are Bigger:
Suddenly, you have the attention-grabbing cleavage you always wanted… much to your partner’s delight too.
7. You Will Have the Strangest and Most Detailed Dreams of Your Life:
Keep a pad and pen by your bedside, and be sure to note down your weird and wonderful dreams when you wake up.
8. Feeling Your Baby Kick for the First Time:
Feeling your baby kick for the first time is nothing short of amazing, and it will really make the pregnancy feel so much more real. Many new mothers miss feeling their babies kick after they are born, so enjoy each one!
9. You Will Be Taken Care Of Like Never Before:
Suddenly, the most important thing to your friends and family will be how you are feeling. Everyone will be bringing you fresh fruit, cooking you healthy lunches, and joining you on long walks at the weekends.
As you embark on this incredible journey, relish in the unexpected perks that come with pregnancy, making it a truly special and memorable time in your life. Happy pregnancy!
