quotations about pregnancy
Your husband may not be a wealth of pregnancy information, but he is a wealth of 'you' information. He probably knows you better than anyone else in this world (which means he understands your current neediness pretty well). He also probably loves you more than anyone else in this world. So, while he may not be the person to turn to if you need to know how to soothe breast tenderness, he's the perfect person to turn to when you need a hand to hold.

Whether your pregnancy was meticulously planned, medically coaxed, or happened by surprise, one thing is certain -- your life will never be the same.

Eating for Pregnancy
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
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.

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?

Everything about woman is a riddle, and everything about woman has a single solution: that is, pregnancy.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Thus Spake Zarathustra
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.
