1. The clothing
At the beginning of pregnancy you have to go through a series of changes that you are not used to, such as: breast augmentation! Something that can be susceptible to many looks ... And of course the incipient belly will be noticeable especially from the third month on.

A classic among the classics.

Are you pregnant? ”Well, here are 5 tips to help you answer these tricky questions.
- "I'm on a diet, and you know how much alcohol is to be eliminated!"
- Reply that you find yourself taking antibiotics for a specific pain, for example, an earache, a headache or a backache. If you choose to have back pain, don't even think about dancing all night.
- "Yesterday I overdid it and I have a hangover."
- If you've been invited to a party at a friend's house, the best excuse is to take the car and say that because you have to drive, you can't drink.
- "I made a bet with a friend that I could be alcohol-free for a month and if I win, he'll give me a weekend in London! It's worth holding on for a little longer." "A classic.
