Unexpected bonuses of pregnancy

diverdi · Dec 19th, 2010, 15:18 PM

I've had mild psoriasis since my early twenties and about 4 years ago it got more severe. Normally at this time of year it would be getting really sore and dry, but it's fading and going in some places. I'm not putting any creams on so I figure it must be to do with being pregnant. Fantastic!

Anybody else had any unexpected bonuses?

I was dreading the supposed worsening it make to your skin as i've always suffered bad but like you i'm delighted its gone the other way, its been the only positive but you cant have it all and its great for me! x

Biggest bonus so far is my husband has finally found the kitchen and made us both the odd meal, usually whilst I have my head down the toilet

Sorry, having a bad ms day!

I'd have to say my biggest bonus has been all the help from DH

He's been cleaning and cooking a lot more so I can rest on the very few days off that I have. He's also been really patient about running out to get me popsicles (my biggest craving) at 2am

I also don't mind the extra attention to much either

We told DH's family this past weekend and all of them have been super helpful and they're calling to see how I'm feeling and stuff...it's kinda nice

I don't seem to get hayfever when I'm pregnant.

And the lack of periods is pretty cool too!

I've lost 8lbs! Now that I'm entering my 2nd trimester I hope weight loss doesn't continue but hey, I went from 198 to 190lbs so I'm still too overweight but every ounce helps.

Hubby's running to do my bidding. It used to be that I'd ask him to go to the store and he'd say "I will, but tomorrow." Now he gets right up and puts his shoes on and off he goes at my command. Oh the power!

Foot rubs. Hubby is really spoiling me with these.

People asking me how I feel. I thought this would be annoying but it's so sweet that everyone is concerned and is aware that I can't do too much without straining.

Yay me too i've lost 8lbs with all the sickness and not being able to eat... Obviously I hope the sickness stops and i can eat normally again soon, but every cloud....

I've not had any personal physical bonuses but one bonus is definitely not having to change the cat litter anymore! Hubby always seemed to forget before so it was always down to me..I still have to give him gentle reminders it needs changing though!

bummer, I don't think my psoriasis is any better with pregnancy

Mine too! He grumbles about it every time but it's definitely a bonus!

I've also lost some weight, don't think I've been this slim since I was about 12!! Great news your psoriasis is better
