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 was not looking forward to shopping for clothes for pregnant women because I just assumed they would all be ugly and out of style. I was very pleased when I got there to see that I was wrong, they had many stylish maternity clothes to choose from. These clothes looked just like regular stylish clothes.
I could not believe that I could still stay in style while I was pregnant. I was only in my second trimester so I didn’t by too much right then, just a couple of out fits. To hold me over until I got so big I would need a lot 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.
While we were shopping I saw a ladybug baby bedding set and I just loved it right away. So we load up all our shopping bags and head home to start putting everything up. The baby’s room was beautiful and I loved how the new ladybug stuff looked on the bed.
I went in to labor a month later and had my beautiful little girl. We were getting ready to bring her home from the hospital when I tried to put the outfit I had choice for her going home outfit and it was so big. It would not fit. I ended up having to put her in some of the sleepwear that I had brought along with me because nothing else fit her. For the first month of her life she was so small that’s all she could wear. I guess my point is no matter how prepared you are, your baby will make you seem very unprepared.
