[Pregnancy] Body changes


I'm experiencing some changes on my body when I become pregnant.

Those are the changes that happened to me.


1: Weird  new bangs

I usually pull my bangs to the side. 


Since I got pregnant, my body decides to grow more hair.
Especially on my forehead.
I already had my bangs that were long enough to pull to side, but now I have new baby bangs that like to swing in front of my forehead.

Thanks hormone to make me look like I have two different kind of bangs at the same time. That's what I've always wanted.

.... NO.






2: Darker armpit


When I found out that my armpit looked darker than usual, I freaked out.
Why the hell do I need to have darker armpit?!
Somehow my body thinks
"Yup I'm pregnant, time to have darker armpit!"

NO, body, NO.

Darker armpit doesn't help my baby or myself.
You should really change your mind.



3: Dry heels


I heard when you are pregnant, you'll have itchy dry skin because your belly gets bigger so it pulls your skin.
That makes sense.
So, I expected that to happen on my belly or back.

Well, in my case, that was my heels.
Maybe my hormone or body know the reason but I don't know why I got super dry heels.
Now Nivea and I are best friends.

[Pregnancy] Early symptoms



Before I found out that I was pregnant, I had some early pregnancy symptoms. 

Everybody's symptoms are different. 

Here are mine. 



1: Watery mouth

I had no idea why my mouth was so intensely watery. I had to constantly swallow my own spit.
I must have looked so weird especially when I had to talk with people from work... but I had no choice. Either that or I just drooled everywhere.




2: Swollen legs

My legs were swollen and painful for days.
I had no idea why because I didn't do anything special. Besides, I had a desk job so I didn't have to stand up all day. 




3: Painful boobs


Usually my boobs start hurting around my period so I thought it was just business as usual.
However, the pain was more intense than that.
When they touched anything, they hurt SO much.
Of course, my dog somehow managed to touch them every time we hung out on the couch.












4: Numbness on my left hand 

This drawing says the right hand but it was left actually...
I noticed that my left hand was numb and I started to worry if I had cancer (thanks WebMD).
