Why I Loved Being Pregnant: Part One
Share
There are so many upsides to being pregnant. Number one, if you aren't working, you can say it's cause you wanted to take time off for for your baby. I know a lot of struggling actors who wish they could say they are on maternity leave. Better than "I haven't booked in months and can I take your order?"
Number two, Hispanic men are so nice to you. Not that they are mean otherwise, but there is a great child-centered, mom-loving aspect to the Latino culture that I benefited from, living in Southern California. Other types of people would let a door swing shut as I waddled up in a caftan and flip flops, but not a Hispanic man - they would hold that door.
Now, we know with pregnancy comes fatigue, swollen limbs, and weird rashes, but in this video I present my favorite by-product of being with child.

LOL, that's one of the things I loved most about being pregnant too! Fat was beautiful. FINALLY!
Congrats on the pregnancy! We are too (with #5…yea, a little crazy) and super excited after 3 miscarriages in the past 2 years.
Anyway…Just a heads up on the rash. I had something similar with my first 2. My midwife prescribed aspirin. With my first preg, I took 3 aspirin the 1st day, 2 the 2nd day, and 1 for the next 3 days. Worked like a charm (w/ no mess or scars). With the second preg, as soon as I noticed the rash, I popped a couple and it went away immediately, never to return.
Yea, yea. My doctor was horrified when I told him. "Aspirin! What if you had started to bleed!" Oh please! I was just so glad to get rid of the itch!
