1. Hair removal with a can
The thermometer no longer drops below 28 ° C. Sandals and skirts have taken over the sidewalks. The days at the pool or the beach are approaching. You can no longer be ostrich, the hairs stashed under the leggings. Two major difficulties will arise: succeed in bending down to reach your ankles, and especially you waxing the bikini line blind (round belly obliges).
Our advice : use a mirror and keep it simple (this is not the time to try the metro ticket) and in case of too much back pain, delegate the task to a beautician.
2. The ridiculous swimsuit
Those who are in the early stages of pregnancy will be able to settle for a two-piece one size above their usual size, but the others will have to go in search of a special pregnancy swimsuit. And have an interest in arming themselves with courage in the face of bare maternity rays. Choose from the polka dot one-piece that looks like you’re expecting triplets and the two-piece with integrated long top with ruffles to feel completely tart.
Our advice : choose a simple model, in a sober color and accessorize with a patterned sarong (which will hide the mistakes of waxing the bikini line blindly).
3. Wondermaman’s mask
To put it simply: sun + hormones = hyperpigmentation in certain areas of the face (especially around the eyes and mouth) = crestfallen on the beach.
But the good news is that by being reasonable (wide-brimmed hat + sunglasses + index 50 cream every two hours), you will escape the mask. And if you really fail, Tasks gradually disappear the following year.
Our advice : every morning, apply the protective cream as a day cream.
4. Excessive sweating
Usually, a cool shower in the morning, a good deodorant and a cotton tank top, and you can smell the flower… Pregnant, perspiration does not stop at the armpits. It drips down your back and behind your thighs, giving you a pretty transparent mustache half the time. In short, you are in water (x) before you lose them!
Our advice : drink as much as possible (hot drinks are more effective), dress long and wide, with natural materials, stay in the shade, move only in the morning and evening, a bit like lizards.
5. Swollen legs
After your breasts, it is your belly that has swelled visibly. Maybe even your arms and thighs, since the body is making reserves! You had left your legs, about the usual circumference and your cute little feet of course. Say goodbye to them, because summer will make them rise like ordinary bread dough under the tea towel!
Our advice : sleep with your legs a little raised (a cushion that is not too thick under the mattress), avoid sitting cross-legged, finish the shower with a jet of cold water from the bottom up, choose comfortable clothes and shoes (two plus sizes), wear compression stockings if you have pain and / or varicose veins or fly.
