I know that many of
you are still young and not really thinking about kids yet, but there are quite
a few readers and bloggers who have been following me on this journey from the
big fat positive to birth of my beautiful baby boy and I’m grateful for all the
positive vibrations and nice wishes I got along the way. Since it’s my rambling
day, I thought I’d do a Q&A tag about my pregnancy (I borrowed the
questions from Beautifymeeh blog). Spoiler: my pregnancy was great so don’t
freak out before you read through :)
1. When were you due?
I was due March 25th
(Mother’s day over here) but the baby decided to hang tight for a week longer
and arrived on 1st of April, making a fool out of both of us (we
were hoping for April 2nd since it’s also my hubby’s b-day and it
would be a special bond for them to share).
2. Can different emotions from a mother affect
the baby inside in any way?
I firmly believe they
do. I could feel him moving around a lot more when I was stressing out at work,
even if I was just sitting behind my desk. Happiness and overall well-being are
key to a nice pregnancy.
3. Exercise for pregnant women?
I did regular pilates
until about 6 months. Then, I switched to pregnancy pilates. I also did a lot
of Kegel exercises and breathing
techniques. Otherwise, I just went for walks as much as I could. Regardless of
pregnancy, I continued with my daily life until about 36 weeks (out of 40 or
better said, 41 for me).
