I want to start here on a warning. If you are a mom-to-be then skip this article. However, if you are still in the planning mode, better read it right away.
It goes without saying that your life is going to change drastically. However, there are certain aspects of your life that will become altogether extinct. So, check out and get yourself prepared.

Wear white

Honestly, the color white is not for parenting. So, put away all the white jeans and white tanks and any other dress in white color.

And this means any shade of white as well like cream, taupe, ivory…they are just not for you anymore. Shop for clothes now in dark color and patterns. You will really need that camouflage once the baby comes along.

Close out the bar

If you look forward to happy hours, then think you are going into a rehab for the first six weeks. As it all starts, you will not seem to miss it but as things settle down , a quick drink with a friend will also like a golden opportunity.

Use the bathroom in peace

Right from going to pee to shower time, you will have to cut down on just about everything. No, I am not kidding. So, take the last of those long luxurious baths and spend time in the bathroom with your favorite magazine. If your bathroom is your personal spa, then it is just for a few more months.

Redefine the word ‘Relaxation’

I guess, you must be looking forward to those lazy afternoons where you order food, sit on the couch and pamper yourself with movies and popcorn. But when the baby arrives, watching even a commercial will become a challenge. So, if you are planning to buy a new TV set, skip it.

Rush Hour

Are you the instant, fast and immediate type of the girl? Well, once the baby comes the definition of rush hour will certainly change. Between packing for diapers and travel kits and fixing bottles and picking things that seem to be just everywhere, you will at least need half an hour to leave your house on routine. And this is the usual day when calamities like vomiting, diarrhea or something worse doesn’t strike.

Read anything with chapters

Do you like to read, especially those captivating novels? Well, that’s going to end also. Sitting down to concentrate on anything will be next to impossible. And remember, the bathroom is also out of reach. So, now magazines are the best you can do.

Gossiping…Not anymore!

Kids will end your gossip hours as well. To get an uninterrupted catch up conversation will become something in your distant memory. But see there is a brighter side to this….yes the telephone bills.
