你可能不知道的懷孕那些事(下)

Sense of Smell Gets Better

6.你的嗅覺會變得更加靈敏

During pregnancy, your sense of smell increases drastically, as does your sense of taste. Scientists hypothesize that this is to help pregnant mothers avoid eating small levels of toxins that might not be dangerous to an adult, but could be deadly to a fetus. As smoke, alcohol and coffee are all particularly noticeable to pregnant women, this theory certainly seems to be on the right path.

在懷孕期間，你的嗅覺靈敏度會急劇增加，味覺也是一樣。科學家們推測這是爲了幫助孕婦們避免吃下對大人無害但卻對胎兒致命的微量毒素。孕婦們對煙，酒和咖啡都特別敏感，這一理論看起來還是有一番道理的。

ractions Don't Stop After Birth

7.宮縮在生產之後還不會結束

Most mothers will have contractions for the first few days after birth. The muscle cramps are the body's way of stopping excess blood loss. On the upside, if you give birth at the hospital, you'll still be pretty drugged up and will probably barely even notice.

大多數媽媽在生產之後宮縮還會持續幾天。肌肉痙攣是身體爲了避免失血過多而採取的機制。往好的方面想，如果你在醫院生產的話，你的麻藥還沒有退，對此你毫無所覺。

Don't Really Need To Eat For Two

8.你真的沒有必要吃兩個人的份

Despite the widespread rumors that say pregnant women need to gain all the weight they can in order to birth a healthy baby, the truth is that most women will only need an extra 300 calories per day. That's equivalent to about one serving of yogurt and half a bagel. Most women only need to gain about 25 pounds throughout their entire course, if you happen to be at the buffet and are having a tough time resisting the desserts section, go ahead and sneak a little extra. No one will give a pregnant woman a hard time if she pigs out.

儘管民間廣泛流傳着孕婦要生下健康的寶寶就必須儘量增重的謠言，但真相是大多數孕婦每天只需要多補充300卡路里的熱量。這等同於一份酸奶和半個百吉餅的熱量。大多數孕婦在整個孕期只需要增加大約25磅的重量。當然，如果你碰巧在吃自助餐並且抵制不了甜點的誘惑，那麼偷偷地去多拿一點吧。就算一個孕婦大吃特吃也沒有人會去抱怨的。

Feet Can Grow Up To One Full Shoe Size

9.你的腳會大上一倍

If you're wondering why your feet will get so big when you only gain 25 pounds, it has to do with the excess pressure on your feet paired with relaxed ligaments in your body. As your pregnancy wears on, your body starts to release the tightness of its ligaments to help with the birthing process. Unfortunately for your shoes, this also means your feet start to lose their arch and stretch out on the sides. The flatter, wider shape of your feet will probably be temporary, but if they grew too much, the change could end up being permanent. If your feet do stay a bit larger, it certainly will serve as a great excuse to buy more shoes.

如果你在疑惑不解爲什麼只重了25磅腳卻變得如此之大，那麼我告訴你這和與放鬆的韌帶成配比的對腳施加的額外壓力有關。隨着肚子越來越大孕婦愈加疲憊，你的身體就會開始放鬆韌帶的緊繃度以便於生產。不幸的是你的鞋子就遭殃了。這意味着你的腳開始失去支撐點，向兩邊伸展。這又大又寬的腳或許是暫時的，但是如果情況嚴重的話，這個改變將會永久存在。如果你的腳稍微變大了一點，也不失爲一個給自己買更多鞋子的最好理由！

Father Might Show Symptoms of Pregnancy

10.爸爸也許也會出現懷孕的症狀

It's surprisingly common for a father-to-be to start gaining weight, getting morning sickness and even feel cramps in his lower abdomen. The condition is known as a sympathetic pregnancy or the Couvade Syndrome, which comes from the french word couvee meaning "to hatch".

準爸爸們增重，晨吐甚至感覺小腹痙攣都是十分普遍的現象。這種病情著稱爲“苦娃達”或者擬娩綜合徵，擬娩(Couvade)這個專有名詞來自法文couvee，是孵化的意思。
