Posts Tagged ‘hormonal upheaval’

Since you announced your pregnancy, you hear everything and its opposite on the adventure that you will live.
Mother, stepmother, friends, colleagues, aunts, neighbors. Each is in their comments and advice. And it must be said, it sounds a bit wacky often.

You can see it’s a girl!

Misconception No. 1: “I’m not at my best form, I am swollen and covered buttons. My cousin said that I expect a girl because girls steal their mother’s beauty!”

The opinion of the specialist: You have a huge hormonal upheaval during pregnancy. You can see it in your hair and also your skin, which can undergo abrupt changes. If it was dry, it can become fat (hence acne), but the reverse may also occur, and that, whatever the sex of your baby. So not what your supposed curse prematurely girl!

Misconception No. 2: “My belly is very forward, it looks like a rugby ball. My colleagues tell me that I’m expecting a boy!”

The opinion of the specialist: Once and for all, the shape of your stomach has nothing to do with the sex of your child. When a woman is pregnant her arch her uterus pushes forward. The shape of the stomach depends on the morphology of the basin, and the elasticity of the skin. If you are too curved, it must correct this position to be harmful to your back, eventually. Tilt your pelvis forward, and keep you upright as if you wanted to enter the stomach.
