1 / 3- I was very active in pregnancy. Except for minor health problems, everything was fine, so I continued to study, combine two works, go to the gym. Of course, there was a toxicosis in the first trimester, but I hid it - neither did I guess at work or at work, until my stomach became visible. And as soon as the nausea is over, a wonderful time has come, on which I really miss, and soon I want to repeat this unforgettable experience. Probably pregnancy does something with the woman's brain, but I never felt so beautiful, happy and self-assured. I was preparing for childbirth and motherhood for a long time, went to childcare courses, read relevant literature. So, from the practical point of view, there were no difficulties after the birth, I knew what to do and how. At first, you do not experience any particular joys of motherhood: the child does not even look like a human being, and it all boils down to feeding and caring for him. It was hard at first to cope with lack of sleep, but it all became unimportant when my son started to smile at me, at such moments you feel happiest in the world. From this time comes Love. And the most wonderful thing about motherhood is to observe how a small person does what he did not know how to do yesterday. To my joy, I note that the city is becoming increasingly child friendly: more cafes are equipped with special children's rooms and facilities, children's events are held in the city and festivals, I hope this positive trend will continue. I would like more places, mother and child rooms in public places.
