Pregnancy's pleasant surprises - 17 weeks pregnant

Here's a little perk that no one told you about pregnancy: The sight of a pregnant woman brings out the civility in people. Grocery baggers suddenly volunteer to help you out to your car. People fall over themselves to hold doors open for you. Men proffer cherished seats on train and buses. Everyone smiles at you. Enjoy it while it lasts! Such niceties, along with these other pregnancy-related pleasures, may only last a few more months:

Fast-growing fingernails: Sometime around the fourth month, your nails may start to grow faster than usual. Pregnancy hormones get the credit!

A luxuriant head of hair: During the second trimester, you might notice that your hair looks extra healthy and full. You're not actually growing more hair — thanks to pregnancy hormones, you're just losing less.

think so i always have a full head of hair

The proverbial "glow": Also during the second trimester, you may notice that your skin looks brighter than usual. Hormones are partly responsible, but an increase in blood volume also brings more blood to the skin, giving it a luminescent look.

definately, my skin looks good

A newly ample bosom: It's common to go up a cup size or two during your pregnancy, so you may have some new cleavage to show off!

absolutely!

A turned-on mate: Believe it or not, your guy may be loving your new physique. Men tend to see the sensuality in blossoming breasts and soft curves. Plus, the sight of your pregnant form is a constant reminder of his virility.

definately! :)
