I've been pregnant, and here are some of my favorite links I visited during that time. Also, check out my personal pregnancy experience (link at bottom of page), complete with journal, photos and ultrasound!
For me, pregnancy came after a year of trying to get pregnant and facing infertility. It was a joyous, amazing time. I was in disbelief for so long that I was actually pregnant...that there was a life growing inside me! People would tell me I had that 'pregnant glow' and that was probably true. Increased oil production on my face and that flushed, constant hot feeling have that effect. What I knew was that I was glowing on the inside.
This was what I had waited for for so long! Ken and I had a baby and it was growing inside me. I was empowered as a woman. I felt like I had a secret that no one else knew. Like I was the first person to experience pregnancy. I knew intellectually that this wasn't true. I was one link in the chain of billions of women since the beginning of time to pass on life to another creature. The feeling doesn't go away. When my son was born, and I first breastfed him, I had the same feeling. I was passing on my life-blood, the essence of who I am, and the essence of all that is good about humanity, to my son, the most perfect person I have ever known.
