This is my first pregnancy and im barely 6 weeks but already feeling so different in my body. I just want to mentally prepare for what all changes are coming in the next few months. Can you all share what physical changes you went through?
My doctor explained it trimester wise actually. First was breast tenderness and nausea, second the belly and skin changes, third the swelling and breathlessness. She said most of it is hormones and the uterus growing, nothing to fear.
Apart from the obvious belly, my hair got thicker and my skin glowed in the middle months. Feet swelled near the end and shoes stopped fitting. Each phase had its own thing honestly.
Oh so many changes, I felt my whole body shifting. Sore breasts, growing belly, dark line on my tummy and my feet swelled up by the end. It was overwhelming but kind of amazing too.
Right now I cant see my own feet and I waddle like a penguin haha. Belly huge, back aching, peeing every hour. The body really goes through it but somehow you manage.
So many changes and some stay even after, like my belly took time to go back. I totally understand if it feels a lot. Be kind to your body, it is doing something huge.
Expect breast changes early, then belly growth, weight gain, back pain and some swelling later. Skin pigmentation and the linea nigra are very common too. All of it is normal, just keep moving gently and eat well.
