QUICK TIPS FOR DEALING WITH MOOD SWINGS IN PREGNANCY

Pregnancy causes a lot of changes in the body, expect double if you are pregnant with multiples(two or more). Here i will be sharing a few tips that helped me cope.

• Be positively busy. Except for medical complications, i am an advocate for an active life style. Even when pregnant; be productive. A new phase has started with your pregnancy but note that your life comprises more than the baby. 

• Be happy. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfilments. I enjoyed singing, dancing, reading and going out.

• Be contented. Don't expect too much from your spouse, no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to understand what you are going through while pregnant. Even the easiest pregnancy has challenges that men are just not wired to comprehend. So love him even when it hurts, believe in his love for you and forgive his thoughtlessness. This will keep you light hearted.

• Be loving. Love  yourself, i know this may be hard especially if you are coping with health complications. Pregnancy brings on a lot of physical changes, most of them are unpleasant to sight. So you must be determined to love yourself through it all. Do not let the sight of swollen feet or face, skin discolourations and any other unsightly features make you feel ugly. All the changes will soon pass away.

The period of pregnancy is brief but it leave a lifetime effect on our life's physically, emotionally, financially and more. Enjoy it to the fullest.

MY PHOTO JOURNEY THRU MY TWIN PREGNANCY

This was the beginning, i found out about that it was a twin pregnancy at 11 weeks. Multiple symptoms as regards nausea, vomiting , lack of appetite and general weakness made me loose over 7kg in the first trimester.
I really don't want to remember those days but its was un-avoidable period.

 Moving forward into the 2nd trimester, when my appetite and libido finally came back. It was mad fun as i was flaunting my smart and sexy pregnant belly.

 3rd trimester and final lap. Now i can feel the weight, lower back pain, pain in the pelvic area, lack of comfortable sleeping position and so on

 Yet i was going strong, dancing and sexercise. it was all fun with minor dis-comfort here and there till 37 weeks. At this point i was ready to pop, the weight was killing me and i was praying not to go beyond 38 weeks, since 37 weeks is considered full term for twin gestation. I just wanted to deliver asap.
