Not all pregnant women could say that they are having the time of their lives while at it. Pregnancy is not very pleasant to experience because as the physical body changes, so is the emotional and mental state of a person. Women are more hormonal than the usual, which is why it is important to be more understanding and sensitive when one decides to be around them.
An article published by Glamour featured a perfect example of a woman who is not happy during pregnancy. Knowing the reason behind a pregnant woman's crankiness could help in dealing with them. The first thing that one should be aware of a pregnant woman is that they pee a lot. That alone is already annoying and uncomfortable. There are times that they could go to the bathroom just to pee for 27 times. They do have weak legs, and it is because of the heavy child that they are carrying.
They are overly emotional. Babycenter.com explained that pregnant women experience a lot of mood swings, which means one minute they are happy and the next thing you know, they are mad at you for sometimes no apparent reason. Most of them have a low self-esteem because of the body changes plus the hormones that are so high that couldn't control their feelings of taking pity on themselves.
Being aware of the mood and the things that pregnant women are experiencing would help one be sensitive to the kind of words they would utter towards them. It is not advised to tell them to enjoy their pregnancy because that could sound offensive for most of them.
Always approach a pregnant woman with an empathic heart. Try to put yourself in their shoes, and you will realize how hard it is to be in their position. If you still don't know what to do, watch the funny video below that explains more of it.
