In the pregnancy process I have come to realize how much of the burden is on the female partner. She's got a construction zone going on in her belly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Pregnancy is uncomfortable and draining, and the end isn't in sight until it becomes unbearable.
Going into a pregnancy is a really challenging time for a woman, because it's forever-changing, both mentally and physically.
I really thought when I was pregnant with my first that it wouldn't affect my work at all; it would just be a baby that grows up on set. And I was absolutely wrong. For women, the high point of their career and needing to have babies just don't really go together.
A part of me isn't like those women who love being pregnant. I love my baby, and I miss that feeling of being attached to him when he's kicking, but I was so ready to not be pregnant.
I think pregnancy is a huge responsibility.
A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that's the worst thing.
I find a pregnant body to be beautiful and an incredible reminder of what a woman's body is made to do.
Actually, lots of women, when they're pregnant, feel like steel. They feel incredible.
While I know some women who are stunningly sanguine when they're pregnant, I dissolve into a total mess. What normally appears sturdy turns fragile: the economy, the climate, humanity's baseline social contract.
I love being pregnant in general.
