为何要不惜一切代价避免在夏天怀孕?
There's no denying that pregnancy is a miracle, but despite what Instagram and Beyoncé may lead us to believe, it's not always easy. When you have stretch marks and spider veins and are carrying around an extra 25 to 35 pounds, it's pretty hard to feel comfortable, let alone good about yourself. And when you add hot and sticky temperatures, small and revealing clothing, activities that require actual energy, and flip-flops that need to fit your swollen feet, things go downhill real quick. If you're expecting during the Summer, you can also expect a whole lot of aggravation. From sweat stains to humid nights, here are just a few of the reasons there's no worse time to be with child than the summertime. Dressing For Summer Weddings Is . . . Not Fun Fancy maternity gowns may not seem like a worthwhile investment, but you'll find that last Summer's cocktail dresses don't quite fit like they used to. You Can't Indulge in Summer Cocktails Whether it's weddings, rooftop hangouts, happy hour meet-ups, or a fun day at the beach, you can kiss those delicious Summer drinks goodbye. All events and gatherings will be dry affairs for you. Your Bra Retains More Water Than Your Ankles As if your newly inflated fun bags aren't heavy enough, your bra will also have to shoulder the weight of a whole bunch of boob sweat. Undisturbed Sleep Is a Distant Memory As if getting a good night's sleep in the summertime wasn't difficult enough, try keeping cool and comfy with a pregnant belly. This is what the Mission Impossible franchise should really be about. Your Feet Will Swell to a Size Greater Than Any Shoes Can Handle Heat and water retention are a dangerous combination, and your body will swell to comic proportions (made worse by the fact that the Summer calls for lots of open-toed shoes that leave nothing to the imagination). |
