As a woman, our bodies go through a number of changes during pregnancy, and being prepared for this can help in not feeling so overwhelmed when they do occur.

1. Your Sex Life: Hormonal changes can increase or decrease sex drive. 

2. Morning Sickness/Constant Nausea: As if being an emotional wreck was not enough, here comes the nauseating morning sickness. 

3. Skin conditions: Due to the hormone rush, some expecting mums may have bouts of acne, rashes and pigmentation on the face. This can also be seen on the neck and breasts. 

4. Acid Reflux: Heartburn or acid reflux and indigestion is common during pregnancy. While baby grows in the womb, your organs are squished up to make space. 

5. Hyperactive Bladder: The most common of all. While the baby moves around in the womb the mothers feel the kick over their bladder. 

6. Painful Breasts: The first sign of pregnancy is usually found on your breasts. They appear larger, tender or even painful, thanks to heighten sensitivity.

7. Mood Swings: The most common physical changes – they are not new to women as we experience them during our cycles. 

8. Weight Gain: Yes, pregnancy is a time when we gain maximum weight to accommodate the baby. But it can take a toll on your self esteem. 

9. Bowel Movements: Constipation is a common body change, especially if you are on iron supplements. 

10. Fluid Retention: The body starts retaining more fluids during pregnancy and may lead to swollen ankles, puffy face and swollen fingers.
