How did concubines or mistresses not get pregnant in ancient times?
Filed Under pregnancy | 6 Comments
Ashley N asked:
I have been reading a few books recently that speak of concubines or mistresses to emperors and rulers, and I was wondering how the woman did not get pregnant? I understand that they obviously did sometimes, and the rulers could have many children from many of his mistresses or other wives, but they did not always get pregnant, even though they were contuniously sexually active with the rulers. So I’m asking was it really just luck that some didn’t get pregnant?
And just to add I’m already aware that this sounds like a pretty stupid question to ask. I’ve just been wondering for awhile now.

Although pregnancy is a gift that most women should celebrate, it is unavoidable for women to feel insecure and ugly during pregnancy. The physical changes, morning sickness and other difficulties in carrying a child for 9 months gives women so much stress that makes them look exhausted or worn out. This should not be the case because with the right attitude you can be gorgeous and beautiful while pregnant.
There are things you can do to look beautiful while pregnant:
Have a positive attitude. It is quite hard to be positive if you feel awful every morning but it will not help if you frown and rant all day. Try to be positive and look at the brighter side of having a baby. The difficulties you are suffering are nothing compared to the joy of having a new baby after 9 months. Positive attitude will help you go through pregnancy with joy in your heart. If you are happy it will come out and you will look beautiful while pregnant.
Wear a smile. Even if you are having a bad day, wearing a smile will make you feel better. The people around you will respond nicely if you smile to everyone. If you believe that you are experiencing a wonderful thing -your pregnancy, things will be easier and a smile in your face will make you look beautiful while pregnant.
Wear the proper clothes. You will not look good if you keep wearing your old clothes which are not suited for your pregnancy. There are clothes for pregnant women, the fashion now is amazing because there are clothes designed for pregnant women but you can still wear them after pregnancy like the high waist-line empire cut and it is good to invest on those clothes. It is not true that you cannot be fashionable while pregnant. Look for affordable and yet fashionable clothes, you do not have to spend a fortune but you can be fashionable on a budget. Avoid baggy or oversize clothes because you will appear bigger. Wear the right size of clothes that fits you and you will look beautiful while pregnant.
Sport a short hair. Women look good wearing long flowing locks if it is properly groomed and well maintained. But if you cannot maintain a long hair due to morning sickness and other physical changes you are going through, it is better to sport a short hair. You will look beautiful while pregnant wearing a short hair than having a long hair but you do not have the time and energy to comb and fix it.
Avoid gaining too much weight. Pregnant women have the tendency to eat more than what is required. They make pregnancy an excuse to eat excessively anytime they want. Although it is recommended to gain weight, there is a limit to the weight you should gain. Ask your doctor about the proper weight gain that you need. Avoid excessive pregnancy weight because it is not healthy for you and your unborn child. You will look beautiful while pregnant if you will follow the right weight gain during pregnancy and avoid eating too much.
Weight issues are the hardest part of being pregnant and some women have to battle with weight issues even after giving birth. To avoid this problem you should start thinking about getting in shape while pregnant. Look beautiful while pregnant and feel good about yourself visit Pregnancy Without Pounds.

I am 16 and i found out that i am pregnant, I called the pregnancy hot-line but it was not much help, i want to keep the baby. I finished High school and im living with my grand mom and grand pop on their couch but i know i cant stay there. I live in NJ who do I call to get things started with housing and getting my life together?
im on my sisters account by the way, everyone is happy for her cause she just found out she is pregnant, but i just get lectured and yelled at =(
Taylor, well your a shitty counciler, i would consider another profession. Abortion is sick and it is not a form of birth control! If a person has sex then they are taking a chance of becoming pregnant and now i am pregnant (but i was raped, i did report the guy, but my family will not care about that =’( ) and my life is already Fucked up but its nothing i cant fix or make work
my mom is dead and my dad is to childish to even care he remarried and i live on my grandparents couch.
Simon P, umm my night out consist of me sitting at the library doing school work, i take classes online for college. i dont go out, i dont party, i dont have friends really.
