Our newest guest writer chronicles her “growing pains” during pregnancy. Today’s lesson is about the quest to find inner peace, especially important with another life inside of you…
So my boyfriend recently broke up with me at 10 weeks pregnant. I still have no idea why but I am working on moving on. People say that I am supposed to find a “happy” place and stay there until the baby comes but there are days when I sit and listen to my “Total” station on pandora and instantly get into “my feelings”. I’ve since stopped listening to that station and stick to reggae and hip hop. R&b bring havoc to the mind. Life.
I am now 15 weeks pregnant and still sad about the break up but making myself feel beautiful helps with that. Doing my hair, nails, and feet. Oh and don’t forget my monthly wax. Now let’s get into the waxing thing….. At first I was so nervous. The room was cold and Lord knows I didn’t know what was coming but i believe that since I was able to give birth the first time I should be able to do this.
The place was really nice but super cold (I think that was for germs and to keep the wax hot). Catherine, a really nice Russian woman called my name within 5 mins of me being there. Shook my hand and smiled.
Walked me into her tiny room, shut the door behind her : read my slip that had what service I wanted and asked me to take everything from the waist down.
She then smiled and said … “Its okay I wall make this easy for you.” She started chatting me up which helped. I layed on the bed, bottom of both feet touching each other and she went to work.
As she worked she talked and advised that I should take deep breaths when it’s time to pull. *Tip alert* Ask the rep to let you know when she is going to pull. Take a deep breath in and slowly out. IT WORKS! The pain was minimal. Hurt for a few seconds then stopped. She was really nice and in 21 mins I was baby soft from waist to ankle. Being pregnant meant I was a little more sensitive in special places but like I said that pain only lasted a few mins and the beauty …. I’ve never loved my skin so much! After waxing exfoliate in the shower and LOTION UP!
I decided to wax because I was too sick to manage in the bathroom. You don’t have to go all out like I did but I don’t regret it for one min.
Although I am still pregnant, horny and just got dumped I still feel great about my body and myself right now.
Pregnant and some things that come with it.
Love J. Mar
