Impact in Life

The event that has impacted and influenced my life is getting pregnant. There are several reasons why it has impacted and influenced my life. Some of the reasons include morning sickness, it cost a lot of money, makes life harder, being pregnant during the summer is hard because of the heat, the mood swings are horrible, first you loose weight then gain a ton right back, but most of all it is a life changing event. Although it is a life changing event and challenging, it is also a time of happiness.

First of all, the morning sickness associated with pregnancy is no fun at all. While I was lucky enough to only have it for about a month, some are less fortunate and have it all throughout their pregnancy. Also pregnancy can cost a lot of money, e,specially when the baby arrives. If one is fortunate to have a good family and a good paying job then they'll be fine. On the other hand for those like myself, who only have family support and a significant other working a minimum wage job, makes the financial situation much harder.

Second of all, getting pregnant makes life harder. Some of the reasons why it makes life harder include the mood swings, and loosing weight then gaining the weight you lost plus some back. Mood swings can be horrible. As I know from personal experience, mood swings will sometimes cause arguments between one and their spouse. When this happens, it also causes stress for everyone involved. Therefore, mood swings can end up being a bad thing during pregnancy. Pregnancy will also make you loose or gain weight. In my case, it made me drop down in weight, then shoot straight back up. Although, gaining the weight doesn't bother me as long as my baby comes out big and healthy!

Last, being pregnant during the summer is very hard work. The hotter it is, the more miserable one is likely to feel. For some reason one seems to be hotter during the summer time while pregnant. Getting pregnant is a life changing event.
