Pregnancy Info HOME

What a nice post. Three positive things I can think about are: I have learned to take care of my body (since it is hosting my little guy) before I worked a very stressfull job and was constantly on the go and didn't really take as a good care of it as I should. Two is I have developed a closer bond with my family (I think babies really do bring people together) and three I found a reason to make our apartment every more of a home than it was before (GO NESTING!).

ya i agree with you astra babies bring family closer which i never felt before

lol kya hua? naraze hai husband?? is he saying that he's been listening to you stress too much? My husband I think is the same way with me. You're so funny. Apka nam kya hai? Mera hai Simal. the thing that they don't realize is, that half the negativity or i should say stress, comes from the dr's themselves, like how they scared me about IC and because of that I haven't even exercised throughout the pg because i was too scared. not that i'm too big now, but i do regret when i hear others say they went to yoga. blah blah...bander dr's. aur kya hora hai? kithne boring hai pregnancy.........aur kithne lam-bee. they should have pregnancy for six months, and the baby fully developed in six months lol.

Three positive things that I've learned being pg. 1) I have also have gotten closer to family, closer to my sister, my mil even, and my mom. i feel like i'm a part of their club and now finally understand that a lot more. as well it's brought me closer to my dh. we feel more like a family than ever before. 2) taking care of my body. i've never eaten so healthy or drank so much water and milk and i quite smoking and drinking is on hold. I feel so much better aside from the pg aches and pains, i must say i really like that i'm no longer a smoker. i feel good about myself physically and mentally eating well has been a big factor which has led to having a calmer and patient outlook. 3) and biggest one is that i'm going to be a mother and i'm going to have a son or a daughter to raise and love and look after and to me that is the biggest positive and fills me up with so much love.

didn't...i meant didn't......i swear i'm not on crack.

Sims my name is Ashwini . it was so cool to read a lil Hindi . Well u have gotten close to MIL OMG thats an achivement. lol ... and cool infact i guess this is the right opportunity to break the ice. I need to try out tht .

she makes it easy though. she's really really nice. and we got along before but i was still a bit of a partier and wasn't that close to her. so now i feel like such the adult and we talk and hang out and stuff. it's nice. but shes not the typical mil she doens't boss me around or anything or pry into my business and get this, we live together...crazy huh!? we'll be moving out in may when our house is ready, new house new baby such a blessing.

Thank you for posting this, I'm glad I now have the opportunity to share what my pregnancy has done for me. Before I got pregnant I was suffering severe depression and self discontinuation of anti-depressants. I rarely ate, I lost a lot of sleep and I only spoke when I absolutely had to, and even when I did I never looked anyone in the eye. I was going on my fourth year of depression, not a happy moment in all those years. My physical health was in danger because I cried so often that I was becoming dehydrated, and since I didn't eat I was extremely malnourished. I went to several different psychologists and was put on several different medications but nothing made me feel better. When I got pregnant and had made the decision to keep her... All of my depression faded away. She was what was missing from my life. She gave me willpower. Being a mother comes with a lot of responsibilities and for once in my life I was eager to make something of myself. She really gave me a reason to keep on going, and she literally saved my life. I have never been happier, I talk a lot more now, I always have a smile on my face, I'm making sure to eat right, I'm improving myself so that I can be the perfect role model for her. She is my everything, and I owe her the world.

Mmm..this is a great post idea! I think one of the most positive things for me so far has been my views on self-image. Having dealt with an eating problem in my teens, and then dealing with depression and the major weight gain that came with my meds, well, I haven't always thought well of my body. And now, well, I'm still overweight, and feel frumpy and awful (but that's largely in part to the fact that we're 3 days overdue here!), but I'm able to see the miracle that is the body of a woman! Also, being pregnant forced me to seek counselling for my depression instead of just being on meds, and I've learned a TON about the way my mind works, and how to curve my thinking process! (It's called Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with depression!) This baby has forced me to freak out to the point where I actually got myself help, and I'm looking positively towards my future. And for the first time, my future might actually include me being off of my meds! Can't think of anything more positive than that!

i quit smoking the moment i found out i was pregnant and have not smoked since, have not drank at all and it made me realize i dont have to drink in certain situations that i always used too and i can still have fun, and i havent missed ma__s on sunday for a long time. baby has brought me closer to the lord. amen! great post by the way. i needed this. thanks

thats good to know gals we all seem to have become good in one or the other way iam sure these good qualities we have practised so far will give us all good and cute babies

1) I have learned to let people help me more-- I try to be too independent and when you're pregnant, there are just some things you need to stop and ask help with (like changing the litter box). 2) I have learned that no matter how much I like to complain it doesn't change the circ_mstances but an att_tude change can make the circ_mstances more tolerable. 3) I have learned that patience pays off. Things don't necessarily happen on my time-table but the best things in life are worth waiting for!

Goldfish I have a monster in law whom I don't really get along with very well she gets on my last nerve!

i think alot about how my life is better now being preggo and i totally forgot about what some of the girls have brought up! im not on 'happy pills' anymore!!! i used to be one of those people who would fly off the handle easily but now i never ever do, and my body sure can tell the difference! if theres a arguement i just say its not worth loosing my son over and walk away, its so awsome!! i also (as someone already mentioned) ask for help now with carrying things and i used to hate it but ive discovered theres nothing wrong with asking for help, pride isnt everything! and the one that i guess i still hate to admit is..my mom isnt as dumb as i thought she was :o). she actually does know a bit more about babies and being preggo then i do, no matter how many books you read or how much advise you get from people, momma knows best!!! maybe one day i will get up enough courage to tell her how right she really is, just maybe :o). and another positive thing (or annoying, depending on the way you look at it) is i have become a calmer driver, i go the speed limit, always look several times before pulling into an intersection, things like that, i used to hate drivers like ive now become!!! ok this was a fun project! thanks goldfish!

1) I was a COMPLETE party animal before becoming pregnant and had really lost sight of my future...i wasnt focused on things that were important (school, family etc.) and i had became a chain smoker of cigarettes in a matter of months (literally)...since being preggo i have regained my focus on self and life and i feel like i have something to live for. 2) Me and B/f have been able to communicate a lot better since being pregnant and we discuss things that are important and focus on plans for our future...3) Im trying to learn and prepare to be the best person i can be so that i can lead my child by example

meant to add on 1) I havent smoked or drank since i found out i was preggo and i dont intend to afterwards...anyways my skin looks so much better w/o smoking
