Nui paha ka poʻe e noʻonoʻo nei he aha ka makana maikaʻi aʻe no ka wahine e kali nei i ka makana o ke ola hou, ʻo ka pēpē. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe makana ma ka honua e hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia me kahi keiki. Nui nā makana a ka makuahine e manaʻo nei e makemake e loaʻa ma muli wale nō o ke kōkua ʻana iā ia i ka holomua ʻana o ka hāpai ʻana, a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hoʻomaikaʻi lākou iā ia. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mea āu e hoʻoholo ai e kiʻi i ka makuahine e hilinaʻi ia i ka wā e hoʻoholo ai ʻoe e hāʻawi i ka makana, akā hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka hapa nui o kēia mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo i kēlā me kēia manawa i ka wā hāpai.
ʻAʻole pono e huikau nā makana hāpai me ka ʻauʻau pēpē, e pili ana i ka pēpē. Pili maoli kēia mau makana i ka makuahine. E hāʻawi wau iā ʻoe i kahi papa inoa o nā makana hāpai kūpono. E ʻike ʻoe he mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo kēia mai nā makuahine hāpai, nā makuahine mua a me nā mea like me aʻu i puni i ka bin i hoʻokahi manawa a ʻelua a ʻekolu paha. ʻAʻole kēia e pili ana i ka ʻōlelo a nā "poʻe loea" a i ʻole nā hale kūʻai e hoʻolaha nei. He mau makana kūpono kēia e mahalo mau ai ka makuahine.
Manaʻo wau ʻo ke ala maikaʻi loa e hana ai i kēia, ʻo ia ke hele i kēlā me kēia trimester a hāʻawi i nā manaʻo no ka manawa mua o ka makuahine a me ke koena o mākou. No laila e hoʻomaka kākou me ka trimester mua, a me nā makuahine hou. ʻO ka pinepine, ʻaʻole ʻike a ʻike paha nā wahine i ko lākou hāpai ʻana a hiki i ka hapalua o ke ala o ko lākou ʻekolu makahiki mua, ke ʻole lākou e hoʻāʻo e hāpai. ʻO ia ke kumu aʻu e hāʻawi aku ai i ka pahu makana "Hoʻomaikaʻi".
He makana leʻaleʻa maoli kēia no ka makuahine e kali ana. Ma muli o kou ʻano ʻakaʻaka hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻouka i kēia hīnaʻi me nā mea a pau mai ke kukui, ke kī, ka wai, ka ʻaila hemorrhoid, ka pata koko koko, ʻelua mau makasini hāpai, nā paʻipaʻi, nā lole moe hānai a me ka papa inoa hiki ke hele. Me koʻu hāpai mua ʻana ua hana kaʻu hoa aloha i kahi ʻeke makana "Congrats", a hoʻopiha iā ia me nā mea hoʻoinu waina, waina a me Baileys. ʻO kāna kumu, pono iaʻu e loaʻa iaʻu ma hope o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka pēpē ma ʻaneʻi e hoʻokō i ka lilo ʻana i makuahine hou. No laila, hiki i ka hīnaʻi makana a ʻeke paha ke lilo i mea pono a i ʻole naʻaupō e like me kou makemake. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele a hiki i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā aila lomilomi a me nā mea like a me kahi leka e ʻōlelo ana, "E hauʻoli i ka wā hiki iā ʻoe."
No kēlā mau makuahine i hānau pēpē ma mua o ka hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopiha i ka hīnaʻi me nā ʻeke kino, nā ihoiho, nā mele palupalu/ a i ʻole CD o kāna mele punahele, nā paʻipaʻi, nā kākika noho pēpē, TUMS, nā mea āu e noʻonoʻo ai e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i ka makuahine. e. E hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā me kēia keiki e hōʻike mua ana ka makuahine, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hiki ke hoʻomaka koke nā hōʻailona hāpai.
I ka neʻe ʻana o ka makuahine e manaʻo nei i ka lua o ka mahina, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hāpai maoli lākou. No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā makana i ka lua o ka trimester i ka hana ʻana i kahi mea maikaʻi no ka makuahine a me ka liʻiliʻi i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana iā ia. ʻAʻole kēia no ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole makemake kekahi makuahine i kahi palapala makana i kahi hale kūʻai makuahine e kiʻi ai i kekahi mau mea, a i ʻole he helehelena a me ka pedicure ma kā lākou saloon punahele.
ʻO ka lua o ka trimester ka manawa e hoʻomaka ai ka nui o nā makuahine e noʻonoʻo inā he manaʻo maikaʻi ka hānau keiki. ʻAʻole ia no ka makemake ʻole i ka pēpē, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻomaka ʻana e nīnau i kou hiki ke lilo i makuahine maikaʻi. ʻAʻole hauʻoli ʻo Māmā i ke kaumaha e hoʻomaka ana e hele mai. He ala maikaʻi loa ia e kōkua ai i ka makuahine e hoʻomaha a hoʻoikaika maoli i ka pilina o kou pilina.
ʻO ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā "lā ʻaina awakea" e puka i waho a me ke kamaʻilio kaikamahine he makana maikaʻi hoʻi. ʻAʻole ia he mea nui inā he mau keiki kāu a i ʻole he hāpai ʻoe, i kekahi manawa ʻo ka mea e pono ai ka makuahine i kēia manawa ʻo ka ʻike ʻo ia nō kekahi o nā kaikamahine a ke makemake mau nei kā lākou mau hoaaloha e launa pū me lākou.
Inā he mau keiki ʻē aʻe ka makuahine, hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi aku e lawe i nā keiki no kahi lā leʻaleʻa i hiki ai i ka makuahine ke hoʻolimalima i ka lā hoʻomaha a i ʻole ka nānā ʻana i kāna mea e makemake ai e hana. A i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi aku e loaʻa nā keiki i ke ahiahi i hiki i ka makuahine a me ka makuakāne ke hele i kahi "lā." He mea laʻa loa ia no nā mākua i loaʻa nā keiki. He mea koʻikoʻi nā manawa hoa e like me ka "me time," i kekahi pilina.
ʻO ke kolu o ka trimester. I kēia manawa, ke noʻonoʻo nei ʻo Māmā i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no ka haukapila, me ka ʻike pono e loaʻa iā lākou nā mea pēpē e pono ai lākou, ua hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia ka hale hānai, a inā ʻo ka manawa mua lākou e hoʻonohonoho i nā papa hānau ma ka haukapila. ʻO ka mea hope loa o ka makuahine e noʻonoʻo nei i kēia manawa ʻo ia iho. Inā he ʻohana kona, a laila, ʻo ka kuke ʻana i ka ʻaina ahiahi no ka ʻohana a he makana maikaʻi loa ia i kēia ʻekolu makahiki. He mea liʻiliʻi ia e hopohopo ai a e mahalo nui ʻo ia.
No nā mākua mua a ʻaʻole nā mākua mua he manawa maikaʻi kēia e loaʻa iā lākou kahi palapala makana no ka lomilomi hāpai. E kōkua kēia i ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ke kaumaha a kōkua maoli i ka makuahine e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi aku e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka hale no ka makuahine e kōkua iā ia e hoʻomākaukau no ka hele ʻana i ka haukapila.
ʻO kahi ʻeke makana maikaʻi loa no ka trimester hope loa he ʻeke halemai i hoʻopiha ʻia. ʻAʻole pono he ʻeke, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻopiha piha ʻia. ʻO kahi ʻeke maikaʻi me kekahi o nā mea pono o ka haukapila e like me ka paʻi niho a me ka pulupulu niho, ka holoi waha, ka pulupulu a me ka pulupulu, ka shampoo nui huakaʻi a me ka conditioner, deodorant, eyeliner a me lipstick, lotion. A i ʻole he pūʻulu ʻoluʻolu a me kahi kapa ʻauʻau.
ʻO ʻoe wale nō ka mea i ʻike i ka makuahine, no laila e noʻonoʻo ʻoe ʻo wai ʻo ia a he aha ka mea e maʻalahi ai kona hāpai ʻana. ʻO ka makana maikaʻi loa āu e hāʻawi ai, ʻo ia ka makana āu i noʻonoʻo ai.
