Pregnancy and weight gain go hand in hand. It is only natural for a pregnant woman to feel like she is overweight and unattractive. The truth is, you are not unattractive when you are pregnant. Believe it or not, a pregnant woman has a special glow to her that turns men's heads.
Weight gain is a natural occurrence during pregnancy and is actually an important part of it. When you are pregnant, you tend to eat more because you are eating for more than just yourself. Everything you eat nourishes your baby so you do not want to try and diet in the hopes of losing weight or you could risk the health of your baby. Normal weight gain during pregnancy is around 25 to 35 pounds and a little over is fine as long as you are being monitored by your doctor. Just know that the weight you are carrying is your healthy child inside of you.
Nevertheless, there are some things you can do for pregnancy and weight gain that will help you look and feel more beautiful. This starts with the clothes that you wear. Many pregnant women make the mistake of trying to squeeze into their regular clothes. Even if the clothes you are wearing are stretchable, it is not a good idea to attempt this because it is unflattering. Be proud of the new body you are developing that is holding your unborn child and go maternity. There are a great deal of maternity clothes that are quite fashionable that will make you look great.
Another thing you can do for yourself while experiencing pregnancy and weight gain is get your hair styled. If you are experiencing morning sickness or are too tired all the time to manage your long hair, get it cut. Short hair looks great on pregnant women. If you want to keep the long hair, be sure to comb it and style it each day. This will do wonders for your looks and your confidence.
Do something that you enjoy. Go out shopping with friends or out for a walk in nature. Just get yourself out there and out of the house. It is when you are home all the time, letting yourself go that you start to feel down on yourself. Also, when you are out and about, wear that smile. There is a saying that you cannot feel down if you have a smile on your face.
Pregnancy and weight gain does not have to get you down. Women who are pregnant have glowing skin, better nails and hair and are just plain adorable. Be happy in your pregnant body and just realize that pretty soon you will be back to yourself in no time as you hold your little one in your arms.
