The apple of your eye comes with a package of benefits. Surprised? Most women think of pregnancy blues but there are plenty of reasons to be happy about too.
- Pregnancy can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle. Women who are addicted to smoking or drinking have to quit for the sake of their child.
- Pregnancy can be really stressful and for obvious reasons. From sickness and backaches to hormonal fluctuations that leave you tired and cranky. To avoid that relaxation is an absolute necessity. So, this is the time when women can really let their hair down and have some much needed `me time'; no questions asked.
- Do you know that pregnancy can make your bones stronger? Pregnancy boosts the production of oestrogen which protects the bones. Moreover, pregnant women absorb more calcium from their food than normal women.
- Big thanks to pregnancy for increasing libido in women. During pregnancy women are inclined to be more sensitive and responsive to sexual advancements.
- Pregnancy helps reduce the chances of endometrial and breast cancer. Studies have shown that women who have delivered ten or more times have a 24% reduced chance of being affected.
