Being pregnant can be hard work - carrying around the extra weight can be tough on your back, not to mention swollen feet, stretch marks and being constantly tired.
However it’s not all bad; in fact, it can be pretty awesome and here’s why:
1. You bring a smile to everyone’s face.
Nobody can resist being happy around a pregnant woman.
