What I Experienced While Pregnant For The First Time; This May Be Useful To Other Pregnant Women
While being pregnant for the very first time I really did not have any idea of what the months ahead would bring me. I found out rather quickly. During the first trimester nothing changed. I woke some mornings with a little morning sickness and that was about it. During the second trimester I started to fill out in my belly area and could not get in to any of the clothes I had. I decided it was time to go shopping at a store that sold maternity wear.
I did not want to buy maternity clothes, I had been putting it off as long as I could. I just knew that I would not find anything that had style and I did not want to look like a fat woman in a potato sack. I could not believe my eyes when I got to the store. There were so many beautiful stylish clothes for pregnant women. They looked like clothes I would buy even if I was not pregnant.
I was so relieves that I would be able to have stylish clothes while being pregnant. I did not buy more than a couple things because I was in the second trimester and I thought I needed to wait until I got a lot bigger before I bought more clothes.
In the beginning of the third trimester we had been to the maternity store twice already and I was on my way back. I bought a lot of outfits and even some for me to wear once I had my baby. I knew I would need time before I could wear my old clothes again.
Around my eighth month I decided it was about time that we got everything we needed for our baby so that the nursery would be ready. We already knew we were expecting a baby girl and I was so excited about buying girlie stuff. I wanted to buy all the girlie things I saw. I bought most of it.
The one thing I saw and feel in love with immediately was the ladybug baby bedding. I just had to have it. So we get home with all of our new things and start putting them away. The nursery was looking beautiful especially after I added the new ladybug stuff to it.
A month later I was in labor and our little girl was born. After a few days in the hospital it was time to go home. I was getting my baby ready and putting on her going home outfit that I had with me and it was too big. I had to put her in the sleepwear that we had with us. For the whole first month that was all she could wear because she was so little. Nothing we brought would fit her. The point to this story is you may think you are prepared for anything but once your baby gets here you will learn that you are never prepared enough.
