I've had rough first trimesters. But once you get into the second, it's fine after that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
They say that your second trimester is when you get most of your energy and it's the 'easiest' part of the pregnancy.
I mean, I do actually think there is a qualitative difference between aborting in the early part of the first trimester and in, you know, the middle or later part of the second trimester, in a way that you feel about it in that you grow attached.
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.
Going into a pregnancy is a really challenging time for a woman, because it's forever-changing, both mentally and physically.
I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I'd freak out. But it was really gradual.
Pregnancy is uncomfortable and draining, and the end isn't in sight until it becomes unbearable.
I did a lot of work with myself over the course of being pregnant and the first few months of being pregnant. It's nice, the pace of being pregnant; it gives you a long time to not just germinate a baby but germinate the mother that you're gonna be.
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.
I'm trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.
Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I'll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy.
