5 side effects of pregnancy that only pregnant women can tell you

Pregnancy is the most precious time of a woman’s life and also the most tricky.


Her body changes, her nutrition needs changes, and yet she is supposed to look all calm and collected.

While your doctor will tell you about the bodily and dietary changes, there are some unspoken side effects of pregnancy that only pregnant women can share.

Here are some of them!

1. She wants to feel special all the time!

Your sleep cycle is ruined, your diet is over the top but there is one thing that all pregnant women wish – and that is to feel special. She is carrying a baby, a life inside of her and she wants everyone to make her feel slightly more special than usual. Be it about cooking her favourite meals, ensuring she has a comfortable chair to check on her every day, she wants all the attention because it makes the whole journey far more enjoyable.

2. Anxiety before every doctor’s appointment

Every woman hears about things that can go wrong with an unborn baby and the whole 9 months, a mother is silently scared that something would go wrong. While taking a rickety ride to eating something that she gets to know she shouldn’t, she is anxious and scared deep within. And this feeling surges before every doctor’s appointment.

3. Google -mania

Apart from signing up every pregnancy newsletter she can find, an expectant mom often goes to Google for every little doubt. While this is not the right thing to do, she cannot help but Google signs and symptoms to ease out her worries. She will go online to read other pregnancy stories, or how moms handle the 9 months, and she doesn’t feel guilty about it.

4. She wants to flaunt her baby bump

Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, every woman enjoys her growing belly (when she isn’t thinking about how it is interrupting her sleep, or mobility). She wishes to wear dresses that beautifully enhance her baby bump and secretly wishes people to notice.

5. Hate it when people say she is gaining weight

Most pregnant women disclose the news of their pregnancy to only a select few. So the first few months, they often find people commenting if they are gaining weight. And they clearly hate it and feel like lashing back that it is their pregnancy belly.
