Reasons why women’s bodies change during pregnancy
Women go through a lot of changes while carrying a baby. Whether it’s swollen feet or a change in complexion, there are reasons for the drastic transition.
An article by Kids Health explained that there are at least 10 changes moms-to-be go through. Here’s what to expect when pregnant:
Nesting instinct
Women often feel the need to get their home ready for their new baby by cleaning and redecorating. As the due date gets closer, the mom-to-be might get the powerful urge to start spring cleaning.
Problems with concentration
You might have heard about “mommy brain” before. Women often get worn out by morning sickness and become mentally fuzzy from exhaustion.
Mood swings
Pregnancy and premenstrual syndrome are a bit similar in terms of how a woman feels, the swelling up of breasts and the hormonal imbalance. Pregnancy mood swings could have one feeling happy one minute and really sad the next.
Bra size
One of the signs of pregnancy is an increase in breast size. The growth is caused by higher levels of oestrogen and progesterone.
Skin changes
Pregnant women have increased blood volume to allow needed flow to the uterus and other organs. Some ladies may develop brown patches called melasma or a dark line in the middle of their abdomen linea nigra.

Hair and nails
Some women may experience changes in their hair and nails due to hormones. The changes are not necessarily permanent.
Shoe size
One of the most famous side effects of pregnancy is swollen feet. This occurrence is caused by extra fluid in the body Wearing slip-on shoes in a larger size can be more comfortable, especially in the summer months.
Joint mobility
During pregnancy, the woman’s body makes the hormone relaxin, which helps prepare the pubic area and the cervix for the birth.
Varicose Veins, Hemorrhoids, and Constipation
Varicose veins, usually found in the legs and genital area, happen when blood pools in veins enlarged by pregnancy hormones. Varicose veins often go away after pregnancy. To help prevent them:
- Avoid standing or sitting for long periods
- Wear loose-fitting clothing
- Wear support hose
- Raise your feet when you sit
Things That Come Out of Your Body During Labor
