The upside of pregnancy

Reasons to be happy during your pregnancy would often include:

• A glowing complexion accompanied with faster growth of hair and nails. This is especially true for the second trimester.
• Some women get naturally more inclined to shift to healthier food options during the first trimester instead of junk food and an overdose of caffeine. So you do not really have to leave your bad habits – it’s likely they will leave you!
• You and your hubby are keeping a secret from the world during the first trimester and that can be very exciting for some. Imagining how different people would react to the news is fun as well. (more…)

• Swollen feet

She was every bit the professor at a well-known medical college that she expected her to be – spectacles with a chain hanging by, a thin frame, and skepticism written all over her face. (more…)
