If you take a look at what’s on the web about pregnancy or read any kind of informational pregnancy books or guides, you will no doubt get your fair share of precautions, warnings, signs to look for, and the horror stories. But people forget to share, write about, and tell you about the downright wonderful things that happen over this nine-month period. And the events of pregnancy truly are amazing. These are 3 of the most beautiful things about pregnancy that you don’t hear about enough.
The Anticipation
Nine months is a long time await the arrival of your son or daughter. Thinking of names, decorating the nursery, and picking out baby outfits are necessary ways to prepare for the arrival of your child, but they also build up the suspense. And oh what a wonderful suspense pregnancy is! Just as your baby is getting ready to make its way into the world, pregnancy is the perfect amount of time to make sure you are prepared and the world your baby enters into is full of love.
The Natural Glow
Pregnancy causes physical changes in your body that actually make your body glow from the inside out. Your hair is fuller, your nails are stronger, and your skin is brighter. Not to mention, life is literally pulsing through your veins, so you can’t help but smile. Your entire body naturally glows a little more than normal over this nine-month period with the gift of life.
The Relatability
Because pregnancy is such a natural process, nearly everyone you meet will make some sort of connection with you. You will hear all kinds of “congratulations” from close friends and strangers alike. Whether you run into an expectant mother in line at the grocery store, see a young family with a newborn baby on a stroll through your neighborhood, or you meet an older couple who shares the joys of parenthood with you, the “pregnancy connection” is unlike any other bond.
Sure, pregnancy can be scary, especially if you’ve never been through it before. Your body changes in ways you didn’t even know it could, and you may experience feelings and emotions you didn’t even know existed. But when it really comes down to it, pregnancy is one of the most beautiful things that can happen to a woman. What do you think of these beautiful things about pregnancy?
Sounds pretty great
Wow that insight was really welcomed. I appreciate the perspective a lot.
Thank you for sharing! I think these are wonderful things that we should hear more of. I love the one of Anticipation rather than anxiety… Just beautiful.
Those three things really are awesome. Congrats on your bouncing baby boy ? Ty and Venessa ?
🙂 This is indeed unchartered territory because typically it’s the discomfort and unwelcome body changes that take center stage. I’m not yet a mother but I want to be some day to experience these awesome things too! Congrats and safe landing for the baby too!
You guys are truly motivation to my spouse and I as we start our journey to financial freedom.
