The minute you begin your pregnancy everything is changing, your body, your clothes sizes, even your looks. But that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on your favorite holidays, like Halloween. Being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t dress up. Whether you are buying your costume or making them yourself, you can have fun. There are many costumes you can buy for couples or just for yourself. The Pregnancy couple may want to go as a baker and an oven, or an egg and bacon bit. Both outfits are really cute and creative, you can even make them at home if you chose too. 

If you want to get really creative you can make your own costumes, here are a few costumes that you can make just using your belly and normal clothes are:

The eyeball- This is something my husband created, all you need is a little facial paint and black clothes. This is something even a person that can’t draw can have a little bit of fun with.  Wear all black clothes on Halloween and paint your belly white, make the center of the eye whatever color you desire and don’t forget the red veins. Make it scary or cute, whatever fits your desire. Have a bit of fun and show off that tummy by keeping the shirt up or wear a shirt that shows your tummy. My husband got a kick out of this one and was so excited that he got to do the artwork.

If you want to dress up completely but not stand out, try going as a human pumpkin. Wear a tiny green cap or make one out of felt and all orange, if you can cut a slit in your shirt for your belly to stick out. Now, paint it orange and decorate your pumpkin.

A pea is another simple costume you can make and stay warm. Go find some green jeans or sweats and a green sweatshirt. Keep the shirt up or cut a hole in it to make your little pod stick out and paint it all green.

If you aren’t feeling up to having a full body costume, you could always just paint the belly and proudly show it off. After all, how often will you be pregnant? Think of anything that is round: basketball, volleyball, soccer ball, a bowling ball, etc

Don’t forget witches were mothers too, so if you’ve always dressed as a witch for Halloween you don’t have to stop the tradition. This year go as a pregnant witch or maybe a witch holding a pumpkin. Use that belly!

A Bun in the oven- Get a medium or small box, cut it out so that you can wear it over your shoulders. Make room for your head to slide through. Decorate it with paints like an oven. Cut open the front of the box so that it will open and close. On the outside of the box write, “Bun in the Oven.” Paint your belly a light beige for all to see the little baby bun.

As a woman, giving birth to a baby is the most fulfilling experience, but it comes with many challenges…such as losing weight after pregnancy. During pregnancy, you have accumulated many pounds of extra bulk, which you naturally want to get rid of. Dont lose heart: Weight loss after pregnancy is not only possible, its actually not very difficult either. Just be patient and consistent in your efforts and you will see the results for yourself.

Some Weight Loss Tips To Look Out For

Lets have a look of some weight loss tips to start with

Dont expect a miracle: The weight you have gained throughout the pregnancy period took 9 months to accumulate. Dont expect it to vanish just like that. Crash diets are not recommended for anyone, especially breastfeeding moms. So give yourself some time, to understand the procedure of weight loss and to let the measures work upon you. Eventually you will lose weight.

Start off slowly: Allow your body to heal properly after pregnancy before starting on heavy workouts, aerobics, etc. It takes 2 to 4 months time for the body to get back in to normal mode and regain its strength. Meanwhile, you can do light exercises like walking, stretches, breathing exercises and generally try to be active, this will help in weight loss procedure.

Eat sensibly: Dont do on a diet which will rob you off the nutrients. You are feeding the baby, so take care that you have proper nutritious food. Avoid excess fat, spices and junk food as much as you can

Have lots of water: Keep yourself hydrated, this will help your body in flushing out toxins and its a good way to lose the pregnancy weight gain. Dont go for sodas, instead have natural unsweetened juices.

Breastfeeding helps: Yes, if you are breastfeeding your baby, it will aid in losing weight after pregnancy. Dont starve yourself, have a balanced nutritious diet and only that much take calories which you actually require to.

Exercise: theres no way out: Some or the other form of regular exercise is a must for quick weight loss. If you find it difficult to hit the gym regularly, which is the case with most of the new moms, then try walking, swimming, yoga, jogging anything that will give you enough physical activity to burn off the calories. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, dance when you feel like, and just be active. If you are interested only in structured exercise, you may get an exercise video. You can then work out in the privacy of your home and according to your own time schedule.

Though losing weight after pregnancy is more difficult than losing weight otherwise, its not impossible. With regular exercise, proper diet and your great resolve, you will soon start fitting into your good old jeans once again.

It’s all great to hear advice during your pregnancy, especially unwelcome advice. I’m sure you’ve been told by one person or another how to live. Am I right? It only gets worse the further along in your pregnancy you are. Someone will want to tell you that you shouldn’t bend, or walk a certain way, not to pick up a baby in case you hurt the one in your stomach or put yourself in labor. As the pregnancy gets closer to the due date you’ll be told many different home remedies of how to put yourself in labor. Got a headache? Someone can tell you exactly what to drink to get rid of it without any medication, remember it is important to ask a doctor before trying to take something you’ve never tried before doing it. But the most fun I have during the course of the 9-10 months stretch is hearing all the wives tales, also known as myths.

I’m pretty sure you aren’t going to even care at this point what sex the baby is, all you want is for the morning sickness to stop. You may even be counting down the days until the first trimester is over. Chances are if you morning sickness someone is bound to tell you what sex of the baby is. One wives tale is if you are having severe morning sickness is a sign you are having a girl.

Here’s a wives tale that is a lot of fun and you can test it on everyone in your household. Take a thin piece of string or your hair, slide your ring down it, hold it above your belly and let the ring dangle above it. If the rings spins in a circle it is a boy, but if it goes from one side to the other, it is a girl. Once you’ve tried it out on your tummy, get someone in your house and do it above their hand. Does the ring spin in a circle above your husband’s hand? Hmm, is it really and old wives tale or is there really something to it?

Many women claim to suffer from bouts of heartburn during the pregnancy, according to the old wives tell this would mean your baby will be born with a head full of hair. Right before the end of your first trimester your doctor will listen to your baby’s heart rate, this is to make sure the baby is doing alright. The wives tale goes, if the heart rate is high it is a girl and a low one is a boy. 

Ever have someone tell you that you are carrying high or low and wonder what that really means? Basically if you are carrying your baby low it is closer to your abdomen, a high baby is closer to your chest. Look at yourself in the mirror. How is your baby sitting? The old tale says that if you are carrying high it is a girl, carrying low is a boy.

Wives tales can be a lot of fun but keep in mind these aren’t fact. Don’t go preparing your child’s room just because one of these told you, you were going to have a girl.

As a woman, giving birth to a baby is the most fulfilling experience, but it comes with many challenges…such as losing weight after pregnancy. During pregnancy, you have accumulated many pounds of extra bulk, which you naturally want to get rid of. Don’t lose heart: Weight loss after pregnancy is not only possible, it’s actually not very difficult either. Just be patient and consistent in your efforts and you will see the results for yourself.

There was a time in this world when the need to lose weight was completely unheard of. People ate well, but they worked well too. They woke up early in the morning and then engaged in a whole day’s work. This work was mostly physical labor. People worked on fields digging, sowing, harvesting. They tilled they soil, rode horses, worked on farms and ranches. The result was that they could afford to eat almost anything they wanted in
Whatever quantities they wanted.

But that was ages ago. The world has changed so much since those days. Life styles have changed so much and the comforts and facilities have increased so much. But every rose has its thorn.

Also make us very lazy.

3. If you hate running, remember, you do not have to run a marathon to stay fit. 10 minutes of cardio each day is good enough for most.

4. Do not slouch in your chair but try to maintain an erect posture with your tummy tucked in. Slouching is a very bad habit. Not only is it bad for your back but it also

Breathe in air as strongly as you can and as you do so, tuck in your tummy as much as you can. Hold it like this for a few seconds and then slowly release your breath taking care not to let out your tummy. Try to keep breathing like this at least fifty or sixty times in a day. In fact breathe like this whenever you can remember to do so. After the first day, you should feel the muscles of your stomach tightening each time you do this. Then you know that you are on the right track. If you practice this without fail for 20 days, at the end of the twentieth day, you will have lost at least an inch. 6. While traveling in an elevator instead of just standing there and staring stupidly at the numbers going up or
Down, try raising your self onto your toes and then back on your feet again. Do this several times. Also try flexing your buttock muscles as well. In fact there are many muscles in our body that we can twitch and flex without inviting the attention of others.

7. Any work out should start with a 5 to 10 minute warm up and should end with a 5 to ten minute cool down session. Whatever physical exercise you are involved in, you must remember to warm up before the exercise really starts.

8. Do not carry your mobile phone around but leave it a place where you can hear it ringing. In this way you make sure that you at least get up and walk towards it.

Pool is a wonderful stress reliever.
