Today I'm ganna be positive! Did you know that it's is easier to be pregnant in the winter then in the summer? We have something to be grateful for. (other then the obvious) Pregnancy makes us naturally hotter, which is amazing for winter. Because are body temperature is rising, it will keep us warmer in this chilly, snowy weather. We finally have something to thank our hormones for, it's finally for our benefit. Imagine it was 90° outside, and you're sitting there getting heat flashes. At night, you're hot and you already sleep in the bare minimum, but imagine it in those hot summer nights and there is sometimes nothing you could do about the heat.
When I think of snow and winter all I want to do is cozy up by my fireplace, roast some marshmallows, and drink hot cocoa. The winter actually makes us want to be cozy and snuggled, we just cant wait to get into bed and cozy under our blankets. Talk to a pregnant women in the summer, I don't think snuggling under a blanket and getting all cozy is on her wish list of the day. It may be, to be in bed and sleep, but not so much the snuggling part.
The snuggling up in bed actually helps us sleep better and longer, and who can't use that. The thought of the winter snow allows us to stay in the state of mind and be more comfortable when we sleep.
In the summer, people are out much more often, than they are in the winter. In the winter people tend to stay in doors and they get more proactive things done around the house, which is perfect for us while we are nesting. We can organize our houses, to prepare us for the extra room that will be needed once the baby arrives. But don't hibernate, or you will go a little insane from staying indoors all day.
Anyone feeling a little self-conscious about their bellies? Winter allows us to cover up our baby bump by layering, we can wear sweatshirts or even just a coat, when were headed out. Winter clothes in general are not as snug as summer cloth, and when you're pregnant remember your hot, so you're probably only wearing T-shirts, or nothing that will make you wear too many layers.
I'm loving the coziness of this weather, stay warm, stay safe and stay cozy!
