Journey of a pregnant woman to motherhood is replete with a number of surprises. The moment she and her spouse learn that there is pregnancy and a baby is going to be there in their family, they are in an ecstatic mood. It is the most exciting moment for husband as well as wife. It not only transforms the body of a pregnant woman but her mind too. While dealing with the joys and pregnancy celebrations, let’s spare a thought for the anxieties arising during pregnancy, too. Every pregnant woman faces a number of unanticipated side effects during her pregnancy, most of which disappear after pregnancy.

Unexpected Effects Of Pregnancy

Mood Swings

The most common phenomenon that a pregnant woman experiences is that of mood swings. It occurs mainly during the first and the third trimester of the pregnancy. Mood swings make a pregnant woman feel ecstatic as well as depressed and isolated without any rhyme and reason. It is advisable to see the doctor if the problem of depression continues for more than two weeks.

Inability To Concentrate and Take Care

A pregnant woman undergoes hormonal changes, and faces problems of exhaustion, morning sickness and preoccupation with the baby that makes her forgetful. One can successfully overcome this phase of pregnancy by preparing a list of things to be done, taking necessary rest and limited but nutritious diet.

Nesting Instinct

It is commonplace for a pregnant woman to develop an intense nesting instinct, which is a strong desire to provide a home for the ensuing baby and decorate it. However, be careful and avoid too much of hard physical labor to ensure that the baby is safe.

Increased Bra Size

Since the breasts of a pregnant woman continue to get enlarged, get swollen, tender and painful, one must change the bra size to feel comfortable.

Skin Glow

It is not unusual for a pregnant woman to experience an increase in blood volume so that she can cater to the metabolic needs of her fetus. This makes her skin glow and make her look unusually pretty. Some pregnant women also develop rashes, pimples and moles because of hormonal changes. If there is irritation or itchiness due to skin stretching on the abdomen, use skin creams and lotions for relief.

Hair And Nails Growth

A pregnant woman, at times can have hair growth on her face or belly. Her nails may become longer and grow faster.

Increased Shoe Size

It also happens that some pregnant women see their feet swelling, but these changes are not permanent. In order to get relief from the pain, one can wear slip-on shoes of a larger size.

Other Changes

There are few more symptoms of pain during pregnancy, including reduced joint mobility, varicose veins, hemorrhoids and constipation. Though almost all these problems disappear after pregnancy, it is always better to be careful and have a balanced diet. This can help alleviate the adverse effects of these temporary conditions in a pregnant woman. A pregnant woman can look forward to a variety of surprises during her pregnancy. There should not be any anxiety because almost all of these side effects disappear after pregnancy. The golden rule for any pregnant woman is to enjoy these very exciting days, weeks and months that will eventually bring a newborn into the family.

    Get to know them better. This is not a task only to be accomplished through dating. The more you get to know him or her, the more you can tell if you like them as a friend or something else. Just talk and do fun activities with the person.
    Stop and consider why you like the person. There are many physically attractive and smart people out there. But if you see something beyond that really catches your attention, you've marked this person as unique and probably like them. Why else would they stand out from so many?
    Consider how many times you think about the person. If you find yourself thinking about this person several times a day, and they are happy thoughts that possibly make your heart beat faster, then you probably like them.
    Think how often you laugh at their jokes etc. When you like someone, you will find yourself laughing at things even if they aren't that funny. This is a natural attempt to make them feel appreciated.
    If the one conversation between you and the person is stuck in you head and you cant stop telling people about it. this means it was important to you, and you probably like the person.
    Consider how much you try to be near them. If you've planned your walking speed to catch a glimpse of them as many times of the day as possible, there is a good reason for that.
    Think about how you feel if you touch him or her, by accident or on purpose. If you're still thinking about brushing shoulders several hours ago in school, then that is a special thought and you probably like them.
    If you feel you're ready for a relationship, and are confident enough for a positive response, then just go ahead and ask them out. If you're unsure of their feelings for you, there are several wikihows on how to tell if someone likes you.

    First let me tell you that this is going on for decades in India and a lot more in Bengladesh (and some other countries)
    So who’s ingorant ? because I knew and I still believe in god.

    Those who see god as an entity which should make everybody happy are the real ignorant.

    I am very sure that you will find beauty and health conscious women in Malaysia as you will find them anywhere else in the world. Of course, some of them use anti-wrinkle creams.

    Malaysians, being Asians, are not prone to the physical symptoms of ageing until they reach the 50's at least. The women are usually petite, short and slim. Since they cover most of their body, they do not get sunburned too often either. The tropical climate allows their skin's natural oils to moisturise and protect their hair, skin and nails. They also don't consume alcohol, hence they have less health problems which are often triggered by excessive alcohol.

    Malaysia is also abundant with luscious fruits and vegetables, so even low-income households have easy access to a healthy diet. And, owing to the very sunny climate, Malaysia has fewer depressed people, and it is easy to lose weight by exercising even a little in the outdoors.
