What to expect when you’re pregnant for the first time
1. Your schedule will be very busy
Giving birth requires a physical, mental and emotional investment that you have never experienced before. Your schedule will be completely jam-packed and your routine will change. You are with your baby all the time; feeding, holding and changing him. Your partner’s support and equal involvement during this crucial time can play a vital role in shaping your relationship with yourself and your baby.
2. Breastfeeding isn’t always easy
There is an expectation that breastfeeding should come naturally to mothers and babies, but this is not true. The breastfeeding journey can cause obstacles and stress along the way. It can be both complicated and painful. Be patient and give this process enough time to ensure it is beneficial for you and your baby.
3. Mood changes happen frequently
Mood swings are considered very common during pregnancy. These changes can be due to physical stress, fatigue, changes in hormones and metabolism. You can consult your doctor and talk to them about mood swings. Also tell your partner about your moods so that they too are included in your emotional journey.
4. Postpartum depression is real
Postpartum depression is very common and most women experience it after giving birth to a child. Postpartum depression can cause upset, crying and tantrums over small things. Visiting your doctor frequently after delivery is helpful as they can provide you with the guidance and treatment you need.
5. Frequent urination is expected
Another symptom after birth that you should prepare yourself for is the frequent urge to go to the toilet. Bladder control problems after pregnancy occur due to a variety of reasons. But that should not stop you from keeping yourself hydrated. Make sure you talk to your doctor for treatment to control your condition.
All the first-time moms out there, take care of yourself and embrace the new journey of motherhood.
