All About IVF
Parenthood is one of the most beautiful yet exhausting phases of life. The changes that come with it are so unexpected that it is difficult to see them coming. One moment you were having a movie night with your partner. Next, you both are rushing to change your diaper. And after some time, you start taking it all in stride, be it your baby puking on you or crying in the middle of the night. Here are the top ten aspects of your life that would change when you become a parent.
Your schedule takes a hit.
You got ready in less than an hour before you had a baby. Adding an infant to the mix will change the whole schedule. Your day-to-day schedule now involves packing a diaper bag, dressing and feeding the infant, and getting the baby into the car. And that’s if it all runs well. There are invisible disasters, such as diaper blowouts or tantrums, that make it harder to get dressed as a new parent, the sense of time shifts. And if you have not been the most up-to-date citizen before, you become one. Somehow magically, you can foresee the next 24 hours to get where you need to be on time.

Sleeping becomes a luxury.
You might not have a problem getting eight hours of sleep before, but now it is impossible. Get set for countless nights and days of blurring. But don’t worry you’re going to be shocked how much you can do with just 1-2 hours of sleep. You will learn how to keep going even though you’ve had no sleep for three nights in a row. Waking up all night becomes a ritual.
Putting yourself second.
As soon as your infant is put in your arms, it becomes your duty to care for and love them. You are more worried about your child’s future than yours. And you take action to ensure that your child is cared for—especially when you are gone. You are saving in life insurance to make sure your kids are safe. And not only this, in even small little things you ensure your little one is comfortable before you.

You become financially responsible.
Saving money may not have been a big deal until you had children. When you were going to go to the cinema, you went. You purchased it because you saw a cute shirt in a shop window. However, once you have children, you have to start to be more responsible for your income. You start saving after your baby is born. Instead of going thrifty on a whim, you spend the money on diapers. Plus, your kids are growing up quickly. You start saving for their education and their future.
Your wardrobe choices change.
Your wardrobe changes when you have a baby. You swap your dressy clothes for those that are relaxed, simple, and budget-friendly. Clothes that can tolerate drool, make-up, and sweaty palms are going to be the outfits. You’ll reserve your designer pieces for special events and keep them out of sight of your children.
You become conscious of your lifestyle choices.
Becoming a parent motivates you to make better decisions. You have a little kid relying on you for basically everything. You become more committed to cultivating healthier routines, such as doing yoga in the morning or cutting off fast food. Sugary drinks and bags of Oreos in your pantry are supplemented by granola and bananas. Plus, the kids will develop better habits when they see you eat well and exercise. Seeing your mom’s lunch on apple slices or going on a walk will help your kids build healthier behaviors.
You become an expert in planning.
Spontaneous activities came and went before you became a parent. When you and your husband want a date night, hiring a sitter would be part of planning your date night. Going to a gym or a grocery store involves having your child ready for an outing. Or you have to make sure your partner or family member will watch your child. Planning is now a vital part of your survival.

Your relationship with your partner
The time you spent with your partner on the sofa, watching movies, or reading together, disappears if you have a kid. It’s time to change diapers, make bottles, or catch up with household tasks. There is no time for you and your spouse to spend together, so you’re learning new ways to get in touch with your spouse while you take care of your child. You will continue to enjoy the small moments, and, in many ways, you will fall in love all over again.
Your friendships and other relationships
If you have a kid, you may find yourself spending less time with some friends and more time with other friends. You may find that it’s more fun to hang out with friends who have children. They understand whether you’re a few minutes late when your kid got blown out or if you’re a bit cranky from another sleepless night. Plus, your kids will play together when you are enjoying a much-needed adult talk.
You change.
Becoming a parent will transform you as a human. You discover hidden power and faith that you never thought you had. Everything you think about is to make sure your child is safe and safe. Your life gets filled with passion. You get to see the world through your child’s eyes, which will bring a little wonder to your life. The curiosity and awe your child has will help you see the world in an entirely new way.
