And in this age of the internet, there’s no better place to broadcast your expected bundle of joy than on social media.īut you can’t just go making a flat post on your social media profile to the effect that you have a bun in the oven. Now, the beautiful thing about pregnancy is that every single day of the 40-or-so weeks is a milestone worth celebrating. You go breaking the news to your near and dear ones others can wait for their ‘wow’ moment when the belly starts to protrude. So, you start to prepare yourself physically and psychologically for one of a woman’s most arduous journeys in life.
A precious life form has already begun developing in your blessed womb, and it’s your responsibility to see it grow to full maturity. Of course, as to whether the pregnancy was planned or accidental is water under the bridge now.
At this point, it starts to dawn on you that those scintillating weekend sexcapades didn’t come to nothing, after all. It then proceeds to tender breasts that give way to nausea, fatigue, and bladder incontinence. It begins with delayed periods, which are eventually missed completely. It’s a journey that inspires fear and felicity in equal measure. For women, pregnancy comes with mixed feelings. Whoever said that being pregnant was the coolest experience in life probably only polled men.
