My MIL keeps saying im not sick so I should do all the heavy work normally, but my body feels so tired and different. Just confused na, is pregnancy actually a illness or not?

I hate when people treat us like we are sick! Yes, we have limitations and feel tired, but it is a beautiful journey. Do you guys also get annoyed when family members stop you from doing basic daily tasks?

It is a natural thing but sometimes we do feel very low or get heavy vomiting. For normal tiredness, a good diet and ginger tea help. But if you feel very sick, please consult your doctor immediately.

I totally understand why you might feel this way when your body is going through so much pain and exhaustion. But trust me, it is the most beautiful phase of creating a tiny life. You are strong and doing amazing, dear.

When I was throwing up five times a day, it definitely felt like a disease! But it's actually just hormones peaking. Once that tough first trimester passes, you'll start feeling like yourself again.

Actually, modern apps also track how active we can remain throughout the trimesters. It's a natural physiological state, not a pathology. Tracking my weekly progress helped me realize how amazing our bodies are.

Looking back at my pregnancy days now that my baby is running around as a toddler, I can tell you it's definitely not a disease. It's just a temporary phase of extreme hard work for your body. Enjoy the pampering while it lasts!

Omg same, sometimes when I had bad nausea I kept thinking 'why am I feeling so sick if this is a natural process?'. But it is just our body working overtime to grow a tiny human. Hang in there, you are not alone!

Shikha Roy · Answer

Not at all, dear. It is just a beautiful natural process of your body. Take proper rest and stay happy.

Ayyo, absolutely not! In our family, elders always say pregnancy is a celebration of life, not an illness. Just eat traditional healthy food, stay active, and follow whatever your gynac advises.

Honestly, this is such a good question because sometimes the way people talk about pregnancy makes it sound so scary and medical. I am planning soon and want to stay active, not sit in bed all day like a patient!
