Problem: Article: This usually starts to happen at about 12 to 16 weeks into pregnancy, but it might happen earlier or later for you. You may start looking for maternity clothes as early as 8 weeks or as late as 20 weeks depending on how your old clothes are fitting you. Keep in mind that your belly is more likely to start to show early if this is not your first pregnancy.  You may be able to fit into your regular clothes for the first 3 to 4 months of your pregnancy, but as time goes on, your clothes will start to feel tighter around the waist. Don’t try to squeeze into clothes that are too tight! Wear looser fitting items in your closet until you are ready to buy maternity clothes. Maternity pants use the same sizing system as regular pants, but they are made to accommodate a growing belly, so there’s usually no need to go up a size. Using the same size system as regular clothing simply makes it easier for you to find your size in maternity clothing.  For example, if you wore a size 8 in most brands of blue jeans before you became pregnant, then you will most likely wear a size 8 in maternity jeans. You can go up or down a size as needed for comfort. For example, if a size 8 feels snug on you, then try a size 10. Maternity clothes fit different from brand to brand, and certain styles might feel more comfortable or look better on you. You may also find that certain items fit better during different points in your pregnancy. Try on maternity pants before you buy them to ensure that they fit and that you like the way they look and feel. If you are ordering pants online, make sure that you can return the pants if they do not fit. If you are early in your pregnancy, ask if the store has a strap on belly you can use to help you find pants that will fit you properly. Many styles of maternity pants have an elastic waistband that goes over or under your belly and that will conform to your belly as it grows. Ensure that the pants are made from a material that also has some stretch to it. If the pants do not have much give to them, then you might need to go up a size or opt for a different type of maternity pants. For example, if you try on a pair of maternity jeans at 26 weeks and the waistband feel like it is at its limit, then go up to the next size or choose a different brand.
Summary: Wait until your belly starts to show to start buying maternity clothes. Find maternity pants in the size you wore before you were pregnant. Try on the pants before you buy them to ensure that they fit. Choose pants that stretch and give you room to grow.

Problem: Article: Look for a fruit with green skin that can be indented when you apply a little pressure with your thumb. A hard fruit with yellow-green skin should be allowed to ripen at room temperature for a few days. You will come into direct contact with the flesh of the soursop, so your hands should be clean to avoid contaminating the juice. Dirt can get caught in between the bumps of the skin, so you may need to scrub the fruit with your fingers to get it clean. In spite of its initial appearance, the skin is very soft and can be peeled by hand. You do not need to use a peeler or any other tools to complete this step. It is best to use a bowl with a wide mouth since you will need to work with the fruit while it is inside the bowl. The process can also get messy, so you may also want to choose a bowl with plenty of extra depth. Since the flesh is so soft, it should be easy to squeeze without the use of any specialized kitchen tool. Squeezing the soursop releases its juices, and squeezing the juices directly into the water or milk blends them together more thoroughly. By the end of the process, you should be left with a large piece of pulp held together by the fruit's fibrous core.
Summary: Select a ripe soursop. Wash your hands. Wash the soursop under running water. Peel the fruit. Place the soursop into a large bowl and add the milk or water. Squeeze the fruit with your hands.

Problem: Article: This recipe calls for vanilla extract as the only flavoring additives, but feel free to add other flavors as well.  For instance, you could add a drop of all natural lavender essential oil when you add the vanilla. This will not only imbue the flowers with a subtle lavender flavor, they will also give off a thematically appropriate aroma. Similarly, you can make the chocolate based with either dark chocolate or white chocolate if you prefer.
Summary: Experiment with other flavors and aromas.

Problem: Article: Are there a lot of drama queens in your life? If so, you may be attracting drama in some way. Reflect on your past and present relationships with dramatic people and honestly assess whether you tend to draw the drama in, intentionally or not.  Think about what you get out of a relationship with a dramatic person. Do you feel better about yourself when compared to a drama queen? Do you get bored easily and crave the thrill of drama? Think about other ways you could fill the needs a drama queen fills. For example, if you feel bored with life, try taking up a new hobby or joining a club. If interacting with a drama queen is unavoidable, give yourself a break afterwards. Find something to do to recharge after interacting with a drama queen. For example, listen to your favorite song on your headphones on your commute home if you had to deal with a dramatic co-worker. If you work with a drama queen, you will need to spend time with supportive people. Seek out friends, family members, and co-workers who tend to be more supportive and loving. Make a point of interacting with these people more, especially after spending time with a drama queen. For example, if you work with a drama queen, try to have lunch with a pleasant co-worker to compensate. If someone keeps violating your boundaries, distance yourself. Stop returning texts and phone calls. Lessen social interactions. If someone is genuinely depleting you with their drama, it's okay to walk away.
Summary:
Confront your investment in drama. Take time to replenish yourself. Spend time with supportive people. Distance yourself if necessary.
