7 Reasons Pregnancy is Good for You

You get smarter

OK, not really. In fact, thanks to surging hormones and crossed brain wires, you may feel like a complete ditz at times. But you do get smarter when it comes to safety, cutting out all of those risky behaviors from your youth, like drinking, smoking, driving like a maniac, and not wearing a seatbelt. Plus, you have a doctor on call 24/7. All of the constant monitoring and testing may start to feel tedious toward the end, but at no other time will so many people be so invested and interested in the state of your health.
