The Weirdest Things Pregnancy Does to Your Body

Both miraculous and super, super weird, pregnancy can seem like one weird symptom after another. It’s all worth it at the end of course, but here are some of the weirdest things that will happen to you when you find out you’re going to have a baby.

1. You’ll start leaking!

Yep! Whether it’s a squeezing out a little bit of wee when you laugh, or regularly discharge, your pants will be a more action-packed place during your term. Be prepared with pads and Intim Area Wipes to stay comfortable.

2. You might get hemorrhoids

It’s just not getting any better, is it? Understandably, your body needs an increased blood flow to the uterus during pregnancy. But the increased blood flow can cause the veins around your bottom to swell, causing painful hemorrhoid that make sitting uncomfortable.

Our Rectanal Aid Cream is suitable during pregnancy and relieves the symptoms of hemorrhoid.

3. You could go up a shoe size

When you’re not pregnant, your body needs to be a taut, a finely tuned machine for all the running, hunting and foraging humans do to survive… well that’s the theory.  But when you’re pregnant, you need to make room for a small child to grow inside, so your body produced a hormone to relax the ligaments so the baby can grow and sit inside the womb.

Unfortunately, the hormone, relaxin, takes effect in other places too, relaxing ligaments all over your body. Because the feet have so many bones tied together by ligaments, if they loosen, your feet can expand a whole shoe size! At least it’s a good excuse to get some stunning new shoes.

4. You’ll drool like a sleeping baby

… but they’re cute, right? It’s one of those mysteries of life, but many pregnant women report producing excess saliva during pregnancy. There’s not much you can do about it either, unfortunately.

5. You’ll relive your teenage acne

This is the last bit of bad news, we promise! Changes in your hormone levels during pregnancy can cause a fresh bout of acne – except this time, with a baby growing inside you, you might not want to use the powerful drugs you used when you were at high school.

Luckily FrezyDerm’s Ac-Norm Medilike Effect 1 Cream is an Alternative option to medical treatment. Mimics the action of the classical treatment for the symptoms of acne Type 1 (mild-comedonal) without using pharmaceutical molecules (medical device, CΕ 2803).
