Enjoy your happy pregnancy!

Let’s now talk about the very happy pregnancy! It goes without saying that happy people tend to feel better and have a more positive outlook on life and the lemons we are sometimes dealt. The same is true of expectant moms.

Probably the best way to be happy is to be happy. Unfortunately, no one can provide a universal formula for happiness. What we can recommend is that you try to adapt a positive mindset; instead of asking, “What else could go wrong?” ask, “What am I most grateful for?” Taking a few minutes to count your blessings can help you put perspective on any situation.

You can also increase your happiness levels by participating in meaningful work, giving back to others and cultivating healthy relationships. A happy person develops a sense of empowerment—that her happiness cannot be taken from her.

Certainly, happiness brings out the best in each of us and helps us see the best in ourselves. And for expecting moms, pregnancy is one of those times when they most need to believe the best in themselves. For example, we remind expectant moms to be happy, because:

1. You are creating life, an extraordinarily miraculous gift!

2. You have never looked more beautiful, voluptuous or motherly!

3. You have the rare pleasure of eating whatever you want, whenever you want (Take advantage-this perk doesn’t last!)

4. You can unabashedly shop for cute baby outfits—darling caps and booties—and squeal with glee when you find the perfect shade of mint green on a baby creeper!

5. You can take secret delight in the jealous stares of others; there is nothing in the world more precious than a pregnant woman with a rounded belly and a motherly glow!

So, if you are pregnant, always try to be happy, even though there are some changes within you, the unpleasant ones, just like what you will see below.

The Changes in Pregnancy

Every woman who has experienced a pregnancy knows that changes come within the nine months. Naturally, our bodies change. Our boobs get bigger and our tummies expand, taking us on a whirlwind from one craving to the next. What are the other changes?

* Morning sickness, which can happen at anytime during the day, is also a new change for expectant moms. Foods and even smells we once loved can send us into a hurl on a second’s notice. On top of that, we get to enjoy sweating like piglets, pimple outbreaks, exhaustion and sore feet and backs.

* The emotional and mental changes. You’ve got to start getting into the Mom Mindset, so you tend to become more protective of others. See your husband using a knife that looks too sharp? Better run over and cut that tomato yourself!

* Indeed, we women take our roles as mothers seriously—sometimes too seriously. Sometimes we work ourselves into tearful outbursts over anything from a sad movie to a dirty rug during our pregnancies.

* Becomes irrational occasionally. Mood swings are totally normal, too. A pregnant woman’s body is going through hormonal changes, and spouses and others are well-advised to not taking anything personally.
