Pregnancy brings about significant changes in a Kar'i'nas' body as it adapts to accommodate the growing life within. Along with the joy and anticipation, there can also be some common side effects and discomforts associated with pregnancy.

✹ Morning Sickness: Many Kar'i'nas experience nausea and vomiting, commonly referred to as morning sickness. It can occur at any time of the day and is most common during the first trimester. While it usually resolves on its own, it can cause discomfort and affect the appetite and overall well-being of the expectant mother.

✹ Fatigue: Pregnancy demands a lot of energy from the body as it supports the growth and development of the baby. As a result, Kar'i'nas may experience increased fatigue and a need for more rest during pregnancy.

✹ Hormonal Changes: Fluctuating hormone levels can lead to various side effects such as mood swings, irritability, and increased sensitivity to smells, tastes, or emotions.

✹ Back Pain and Joint Discomfort: The physical changes in the Kar'i'nas' body, including weight gain and the shifting of the center of gravity, can contribute to back pain and discomfort in the joints, particularly in the later stages of pregnancy.

✹ Frequent Urination: As the uterus expands, it puts pressure on the bladder, leading to increased frequency of urination. This can be particularly pronounced during the later stages of pregnancy when the baby's position puts more pressure on the bladder.

✹ Swollen Feet and Ankles: The body retains more fluids during pregnancy, which can lead to swelling, particularly in the feet and ankles. This is known as edema and is a common occurrence.

✹ Heartburn and Indigestion: Pregnancy hormones can relax the muscles of the digestive tract, leading to heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux.


Rare side effects of pregnancy:
✹ Luminescent Blossoms: As the pregnancy progresses, the bioluminescent markings on the Kar'i'nas' bodies undergo a captivating transformation. The patterns become more vibrant and intricate, glowing softly in various hues, reflecting the growing life within. It is said that these radiant markings serve as a protective aura, guiding and soothing both mother and child.

✹ Verdant Whispers: Along with the growth of their unborn child, the Kar'i'nas' tails undergo a peculiar transformation. Small, vibrant mosses and miniature flora take root and flourish upon their tails, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of greenery. This symbiotic relationship between the Kar'i'nas and the fauna is believed to enhance the spiritual bond between mother and child, providing nourishment and protection.

✹ Elemental Whirlwinds: During pregnancy, Kar'i'nas may find themselves becoming more attuned to the elemental energies around them. They may experience unexpected gusts of wind swirling around them, responding to their emotional state or the needs of their developing child. These gentle whirlwinds, seemingly guided by an invisible hand, carry a sense of comfort and protection, embracing the mother and her growing miracle.

✹ Shimmering Dreams: As the Kar'i'nas carry new life within them, their dreams become an enchanting tapestry of colors and ethereal visions. Each night, they enter a realm where their subconscious weaves together vibrant hues and fantastical landscapes. These dreams are believed to be a reflection of the unborn child's connection to the realm of magic and the inherent creativity of the Kar'i'nas. It is said that these shimmering dreams hold hidden messages and insights, guiding the mother on her journey of motherhood and providing glimpses into the future destiny of the child.
