There's no denying that pregnancy¹ is a miracle, but despite what Instagram and Beyoncé may lead us to believe, it's not always easy. When you have stretch marks and spider veins² and are carrying around an extra 25 to 35 pounds, it's pretty hard to feel comfortable, let alone good about yourself.

毫无疑问，怀孕是一个充满奇迹的过程，尽管Ins和碧昂斯试图让我们相信怀孕轻而易举，但事实却并非总是如此。当你长了妊娠纹、蜘蛛斑，胖了25至35磅时，你会感到不舒服，更别提自我感觉良好了。

And when you add hot and sticky temperatures, small and revealing clothing, activities that require actual energy, and flip-flops that need to fit your swollen³ feet, things go downhill real quick. If you're expecting during the Summer, you can also expect a whole lot of aggravation⁴. From sweat stains to humid nights, here are just a few of the reasons there's no worse time to be with child than the summertime.

而夏天天气很热，感觉黏呼呼的、衣服穿的又少又透、一切活动都需要释放能量、你臃肿的脚需要挤上人字拖，不如意之事时有发生。如果你想在夏季怀孕，那你就得准备好面对一堆不好的事情。从汗渍到潮湿的夜晚，这些理由让你明白夏天怀孕真的非常不合适！

Dressing⁵ For Summer Weddings Is . . . Not Fun

夏天参加婚礼时，礼服一点都不美美哒

为何要不惜一切代价避免在夏天怀孕？.jpg

Fancy maternity⁶ gowns may not seem like a worthwhile investment, but you'll find that last Summer's cocktail⁷ dresses don't quite fit like they used to.

花哨的孕妇装似乎并不值得投资，但你会发现你再也穿不上去年夏天的鸡尾酒会礼服了。

You Can't Indulge in Summer Cocktails⁸

再也不能多喝夏日鸡尾酒了

Whether it's weddings, rooftop hangouts, happy hour meet-ups, or a fun day at the beach, you can kiss those delicious Summer drinks goodbye. All events and gatherings⁹ will be dry affairs for you.

无论是婚礼、屋顶聚会、欢乐的聚会时光，还是在海滩上度过愉快的一天，你都可以和这些美味的夏日饮料说再见了。所有的活动和聚会都不适宜饮酒。

Your Bra Retains More Water Than Your Ankles

内衣里的水比浮肿的脚踝都多

As if your newly inflated¹⁰ fun bags aren't heavy enough, your bra will also have to shoulder the weight of a whole bunch of boob sweat.

就好像刚肿的脚踝还不够重似的，你的内衣也会有很多水，都是胸部分泌的汗液。

Undisturbed Sleep Is a Distant Memory

很久都睡不到好觉

As if getting a good night's sleep in the summertime wasn't difficult enough, try keeping cool and comfy with a pregnant belly. This is what the Mission Impossible franchise¹¹ should really be about.

就好像夏天睡个好觉并不困难似的，你还得保持怀孕的大肚腩凉爽、舒适。这才是不可能完成的任务。

Your Feet Will Swell¹² to a Size Greater Than Any Shoes Can Handle

你的脚会浮肿，穿不上鞋子

Heat and water retention¹³ are a dangerous combination, and your body will swell to comic proportions (made worse by the fact that the Summer calls for lots of open-toed shoes that leave nothing to the imagination).

热气和水分滞留是非常危险的组合，你的身体会肿胀，像漫画里画的那样（由于夏天需要穿露脚趾的鞋子，大家都能看到你的脚，情况就更糟了）。
