quotations about pregnancy
Pregnancy can be a stressful and overwhelming time. You may be overjoyed at the thought of having a baby one day, and then the next day start wondering what you've got yourself into. You may be worried about whether you'll be a good mom, whether the baby will be healthy, and how the cost of having a child will affect your family's future finances. And you may worry about how your relationship with your partner and your other children will be affected--whether you'll still be able to give them the attention they need. As unsettling as this is (especially if you pride yourself on being in control), try to remind yourself that emotional upheaval is normal at this stage.

"A Good Relationship During Pregnancy Is As Important As A Healthy Diet And Exercise", Parent Herald, October 18, 2016
To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman, and distressingly inhabited. Soul and spirit are stretched -- along with body -- making pregnancy a time of transition, growth, and profound beginnings.

The Quickening Heart
Pregnancy can be awful if you feel unwell. Some women just feel fat and disgusting; athletic women may resent being slowed down and feel annoyed at the extra fat that develops -- may dislike the 'softening' effect of pregnancy. Others look on the baby as a 'lump', which they take pride in not showing until the last month, and avoid looking at their bodies or talking about them: to them the baby may feel like a parasite. Being pregnant is a confirmation of a woman's sexuality and her womanhood, which can be painful to some women who have not been able to accept or be open about this side of themselves.

Pregnancy can be overwhelming. Pregnancy can be filled with trials. Pregnancy can be full of fear. Pregnancy can be wasted worrying. Pregnancy is forty weeks. Forty weeks is ample time for me to prepare myself properly for the next important step in my life.

Pregnancy: 40 Weeks of Preparation
In pregnancy, there are two bodies, one inside the other. Two people live under one skin.... When so much of life is dedicated to maintaining our integrity as distinct beings, this bodily tandem is an uncanny fact.

I have personally come to believe that childbirth is a blessing to a woman sent straight from God. I mean, in its purest form, birth is the most fantastic orgasm married with a miracle! What more heavenly gift could there be?
