Sorry Ladies, there is almost no way around this one. I have yet to meet a pregnant woman who's said that they got to skip this.
In my experience it's always good to eat a lot of fresh fruit. And get a lot of oxytoxins.
DING DING DING - Word of the post!
Oxytoxins are those toxins your body lets out and takes in when you get a hug, kiss, or have sex. They're like happy toxins. Everyone needs em. When you don't get enough you can become depressed. Why take pills when you could just take hugs!
Any who, one moment you will wake up and the sun will be shining and the birds are chirping, and then your partner rolls over and yawns his morning breath in your face and to you it's cloudy outside, you think it might rain and you are utterly angry. Now of course you know that he really can't do anything about it, short of getting up every 2 hours through the night and brush his teeth. DO NOT SUGGEST THAT! Remember he has feelings too. There will be a lot of little things you wish you could change that you can't. You have to keep that in mind! You can't change everything, but you can look on the bright side.
Sometimes fresh fruit can bring up your emotional level. It's something about the sugars. But I'm no chemist so I really can't tell you why. Just try it. For me Blueberries and Raspberries (two fruits I've never had much of a taste for) always cheer me up! Try new fruits that are in season. You might find that it'll get you through morning sickness also. Also hugs in the morning are good for a quick pick me up. Sometimes if I see my partner through out the day I will ask for another. You can never have too many Oxytoxins. Ask your mom, friends, co workers etc for hugs when you feel a little down. If they look at you like you're crazy don't get mad just move onto the next person.
At night when you're feeling down try cuddling. It'll make you feel all warm and tingly 9 times out of 10. I'm not gonna lie some nights you'll be so hot you don't even want to be touched. Some nights you'll just be too cranky to want to cuddle. That's okay, but if he does don't get upset with him, he's only trying to help. Let him. Get creative. Try holding hands, laying with you back to his, or arms against each other. His skin will probably feel much cooler than yours for a while.
Don't be surprised if with all the movement in your tummy you get a little frustrated at night. It's normal. Do not feel bad if your hormones make you temporarily upset with your baby. Just remember that the baby doesn't know that it's bed time, and sooner or later he or she will fall asleep. It might make you move a little more in your sleep though. Like sometimes I tend to climb all over my partner in my sleep. Drives him nuts...
Either way ladies there's really no real way around your hormones. And that's okay. Just remember that it's really not your fault, but that you can do a few things to up your mood.
You can do it ladies. And last but not least tell the people you love that you love them every chance you get. The words I love you are powerful. On that note
I love you all, be blessed.
