BBNaija Chinwe: Surprising fact about being pregnant

Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate Chinwe’s recent pregnancy announcement has sparked a lot of interest and discussion among fans, Topnaija.ng reports

While pregnancy is a natural and beautiful process, there are many surprising facts that people may not know about it. Let’s explore some of these lesser-known aspects of being pregnant, especially in the context of being a public figure like Chinwe.

Mood Swings and Emotional Rollercoasters

Pregnancy hormones can cause significant mood swings, making women feel happy one minute and tearful the next. This emotional rollercoaster can be challenging to navigate, especially in a high-pressure environment like the BBNaija house. Chinwe’s fans have been supportive, understanding that her emotions may be amplified during this time.

The Nesting Instinct

Many pregnant women feel the nesting instinct, a powerful urge to prepare their home for the baby by cleaning and decorating.

As your due date draws closer, you may find yourself cleaning cupboards or washing walls — things you never would have imagined doing in your ninth month of pregnancy! This desire to prepare your home can be useful — you’ll have fewer to-do items after the birth. But be careful not to overdo it.

Increased Vulnerability

Pregnancy can make women feel more vulnerable, both physically and emotionally. A pregnancy journey can add an extra layer of pressure and scrutiny. It’s crucial for your husband to be mindful of your privacy and well-being during this time.

Joint Mobility

During pregnancy, your body makes the hormone relaxin, which is believed to help prepare the pubic area and the cervix for the birth. Relaxin and other things related to the pregnancy loosen the ligaments in your body, making you less stable and more at risk for injury. It’s easy to overstretch or strain yourself, especially the joints in your pelvis, lower back, and knees. When exercising or lifting objects, go slowly and avoid sudden, jerking movements.
