Using your bump to get your own way - the best things about being pregnant revealed

Mums-to-be are using their bump in order to get their own way, a new survey has revealed. We all know that pregnancy has its downsides but why not use it to your best advantage?

The best things about pregnancy were being able to exercise less - which took 74% of the vote, whilst a whopping 89% voted that they thought being able to eat more is the best perk about being pregnant.

The survey by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk found that over half of the women surveyed would say they were too tired to go out to avoid boring social events – even when they were fine and over half used their symptoms as an excuse to have a lie-in.

Here’s the full list of baby bump perks:

1.       Being able to eat more
2.       Exercising less
3.       Feeling your baby move
4.       Buying new clothes
5.       The general feeling of being pregnant
6.       Being given seats on public transport
7.       Having an excuse to have a lie-in
8.       Getting more attention from your partner
9.       Not having to socialise
10.     Having more consideration from colleagues
