Pregnancy brings about a plethora of changes, both physically and emotionally, and often leads to a longing to engage in certain activities that are best suited for the privacy of your home. While it may be tempting to indulge in these desires, public settings can make it less than feasible. Here’s a look at some things many pregnant individuals find themselves wanting to do but typically refrain from in public:
- Use Ice Packs for Relief: Many pregnant individuals experience discomfort, especially during the third trimester. Wouldn’t it be great to grab an ice pack from the frozen section and soothe those swollen areas without a second thought?
- Express Frustration in Public Restrooms: When the urge to relieve yourself becomes urgent, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed. Shouting out your suffering might feel cathartic, but it’s certainly not advisable in a public restroom.
- Apply Soothing Creams Freely: Breast sensitivity is common during pregnancy. Unfortunately, applying soothing lotions or balms in public can raise eyebrows and lead to awkward situations.
- Treat Personal Discomforts During Meetings: Utilizing hemorrhoid cream while at work may be a necessary relief, yet it’s not something you would want to do in front of colleagues.
- Enjoy the Freedom of Nudity: The comfort of being unencumbered by clothing can be very appealing when maternity wear feels restrictive. However, public nudity is rarely accepted.
- Let Those Gas Bubbles Escape: It’s a natural bodily function, yet the urge to pass gas can be a source of embarrassment. Discreetness is key, though wouldn’t it be nice to let loose without concern?
- Neglect Personal Grooming: With so many changes happening, some may feel less inclined to maintain their usual grooming habits. However, neglecting personal care too much could impact social interactions.
- Snack on Others’ Food: Cravings can strike unexpectedly, but taking food from others’ plates is generally frowned upon, even if the urge is strong.
- Seek Public Opinions on Discharge: Questions regarding bodily fluids are best left to healthcare professionals. Asking random strangers can lead to awkward conversations.
- Engage in Intimacy in Public Spaces: For those experiencing heightened libido during pregnancy, the urge to be intimate can be overwhelming. However, public displays of affection are usually best kept to a minimum.
