What I Experienced While Pregnant For The First Time; This May Be Useful To Other Pregnant Women

While being pregnant for the very first time I really did not have any idea of what the months ahead would bring me. I found out rather quickly. During the first trimester nothing changed. I woke some mornings with a little morning sickness and that was about it. During the second trimester I started to fill out in my belly area and could not get in to any of the clothes I had. I decided it was time to go shopping at a store that sold maternity wear.

I was not looking forward to shopping for clothes for pregnant women because I just assumed they would all be ugly and out of style. I was very pleased when I got there to see that I was wrong, they had many stylish maternity clothes to choose from. These clothes looked just like regular stylish clothes.

I was so relieves that I would be able to have stylish clothes while being pregnant. I did not buy more than a couple things because I was in the second trimester and I thought I needed to wait until I got a lot bigger before I bought more clothes.

By the third trimester I had actually been back twice to buy more maternity clothes and was on my way there again. I loaded up on clothes and even bought several outfits for me to wear once I had the baby. I knew that getting in to my old clothes was out of the question at least for a month or so.

When I was in my eighth month I decided that we needed to finish all the shopping so we could have the nursery ready when the time came to bring home my beautiful baby. We learned early on that we were having a girl. I had to buy everything girlie that I could. We found a lot of beautiful little girl clothes.

While we were shopping I saw a ladybug baby bedding set and I just loved it right away. So we load up all our shopping bags and head home to start putting everything up. The baby’s room was beautiful and I loved how the new ladybug stuff looked on the bed.

I went in to labor a month later and had my beautiful little girl. We were getting ready to bring her home from the hospital when I tried to put the outfit I had choice for her going home outfit and it was so big. It would not fit. I ended up having to put her in some of the sleepwear that I had brought along with me because nothing else fit her. For the first month of her life she was so small that’s all she could wear. I guess my point is no matter how prepared you are, your baby will make you seem very unprepared.
