quotations about pregnancy
Fears are a normal part of pregnancy: explore them with your partner or a good friend, being as honest as you can. Take your anxieties seriously and talk them through: they aren't irrational or neurotic, they always have a basis in reality.

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.

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.
