The minute you find out you’re pregnant, your life becomes a whirlwind of new responsibilities and changes.
It’s mad confusion and exhilarating anticipation all at once. But before the baby is born, there are a number of things to consider about how pregnancy will change your life forever.
Here are 15 things pregnancy will change about you.
1. You’ll start going to prenatal yoga
Your body is not just changing, it’s going through an intense transformation. These days, most pregnant women are also doing daily yoga as a way to stay healthy and fit for the baby.
Since you won’t be able to just jump into your old workout regimen anymore, a prenatal class is a great way to start feeling comfortable with your body again.
Anywhere from three to five classes (depending on your pregnancy) is usually recommended.
2. You may have to consider a new line of work
While you can continue working during pregnancy, you may find that your job simply isn’t safe anymore.
Staying on your feet all day, driving long distances, and lifting heavy objects can all be harmful to the baby and ultimately to you.
