The stereotypes of pregnancy!
Down with pictures and stereotypes!
Although mentalities are gradually starting to change, it is still complicated not to hear in the media or by our loved ones a very stereotypical approach on pregnancy. Do not be overwhelmed with these injunctions, experience your pregnancy freely!
You will be radiant!
Oh, how many times have you heard this kind of thing? This photo continues over and over ...
“Pregnancy makes mothers radiant! Are you not? It’s not normal! ”
There is no normality, pregnancy is different in each woman, some can find her wonderful while others will not appreciate these 9 months.
Pregnancy is also synonymous with pain, constraints and other inconveniences. It is not a long, calm river, we can easily notice a “yoyo” or “roller coaster” effect in some women.
Your body, you will keep it.
Social networks pose here, most of the clichés. Contrary to what certain publications can convey where the silhouettes are perfect, your body will change, evolve and will take time to regain its balance after birth. Do not panic, do not feel guilty, and accept this change which, casually, houses a little wonder.
Besides, on this side, mentalities are evolving more and more quickly. No offense to some, some photographers highlight the natural beauty of postpartum bodies, where stretch marks and cans still tamped slowly.
However, pregnancy should not rhyme with drought and you have to take moments for you, to understand what your body needs and preserve it. There is nothing better than enjoying a moment for yourself, and with my day, well-being and pleasure are our priorities!
To hydrate your skin and prevent drought, my day recommends its Face and body moisturizer, suitable for babies from birth and of course, for older children (and parents!). Its natural formula with organic shea butter nourishes, protects and soothes all types of skins daily, even the most sensitive.
Fancy strawberries you will have.
Hello improbable desires, and goodbye the reasoned food.
Again, these shots continue to influence the lives of future mothers.
"Eat, you are two now", "You'll see, you're going to want pickles at 4 am", "you can eat more!" ...
If for some women is true, this is not the case for everyone! No, you do not have to eat more if you do not feel the need, no you will not necessarily want strawberries, pickles or any other small cravings. Yes you are you, and that's good! Listen to your body, try to understand it and be free to choose what makes you want or not.
Sport you will stop.
Except medical advice, obviously, no you don't have to stop moving. Maintaining physical activity is even completely recommended, both for your physical and mental well-being. It is also advised in the prevention of gestational diabetes and other pathologies to walk 30 minutes per day.
Again, listen to yourself, if you feel able to do it, do it! But don't be inactive.
Pregnancy is not like in movies, none will look like that of the neighbor, your sister or your best friend. Be free to decide what you want for you, and assume your choices. Simply live.
