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.

When you're pregnant, you go out and buy every single book; you have this stack of books on your nightstand, but there was nothing that was preparing me for anything even remotely resembling what my life was going to look like.

I find a pregnant body to be beautiful and an incredible reminder of what a woman's body is made to do.

I think the best thing about being pregnant would definitely have to be seeing just my belly grow and seeing, like, wow, there is, you know, something inside of me.

I tell myself that after four children my belly is already so stretched and flabby that I have to do origami to get my pants buttoned. One more pregnancy and I'd be doomed to elastic waists for the rest of my life.

Pregnancy and motherhood are the most beautiful and significantly life-altering events that I have ever experienced.

Going into a pregnancy is a really challenging time for a woman, because it's forever-changing, both mentally and physically.

I loved dressing for my pregnant body. A pregnant woman's body is so beautiful. Towards the end, it does get harder, and then it became all about flats and comfortable maxi dresses.

Whatever you thought you would wear when you got pregnant, you won't be wearing that.

I loved my second trimester! I didn't feel sick anymore and had more energy. My bloated belly turned into a baby bump, and I definitely looked pregnant. That was a relief because when I was around 4.5 months, you could see people having this inner monologue with themselves, wondering if I ate too much pizza or if I was pregnant.
