Being pregnant for the first time has really opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I’m also beginning to understand certain things- like a pregnant woman’s random psycho and/or emotional fits. Pregnancy not only changes you physically, but emotionally, and it is definitely a test of your relationship strength with your spouse.
Granted I’m only in my 14th week right now, but my body has gone through a whirl-wind of changes already. My hormones went through the roof, sometimes I feel like the life has been permanently sucked out of me, my boobs are growing at a phenomenal rate, and now my belly is beginning to bulge. And that’s just the beginning.
Sometimes we think emotions are simple- happy, sad, angry… However, if you’ve ever experienced a crazy PMS moment where nothing makes sense and not even your husband understands what the hell is going on- well, mulitply that by 10 or 20 and you get crazy preggo lady fits. No ice cubes? The world is ending. Nothing in the fridge sounds appealing? You’re surely going to starve. Annnnddd cue the random crying and emotional rampages. I’ve had a few of these moments so far, and my poor husband will ask “Why are you crying?”. Ha! That’s a silly question because even I don’t know the answer!!
All of these physical and emotional changes can make a pregnant girl feel alone. Because as far as the baby daddy is concerned, he thought everything would just be normal- sort of. And that’s where social networking comes in. I’ve found that it’s nice to know other pregnant ladies, or veteran mommies to talk to because as a first time mom there’s a lot to learn. Most of the stuff I’ve heard, I could’ve done without…like the gross stuff that happens in the delivery room. But I suppose it’s good to know what to expect.
Hopefully these next 6 months go by fast- I’m tired of waiting already. J
