My first pregnancy, my pregnancy was the only thing on my mind at all times, more or less. At the very least it co-occupied space with more pressing matters. I could tell you how many weeks and days pregnant I was. Second time around I frequently forgot.

If you have a chronic health condition, such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, or even multiple sclerosis, you may find your symptoms are less severe, or even disappear, in pregnancy. Experts aren't sure why this happens, but it's thought to be the big changes happening to your hormones and your immune system. Sadly, once those hormones settle down after the birth, conditions tend to re-appear. But at least you get a break!

During my first pregnancy, the people I was around told me how great I looked, asked me how I was feeling, saved the comfiest chairs for me, and stocked the office with decaf tea. This time around, the person I spend the most time with -- although she seems to think I'm swell -- insists on eating my food and waking me up early every morning.

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.

The shamans are forever yacking about their snake oil miracles. I prefer the real McCoy, a pregnant woman.

You are pregnant and you are powerful. You are bold and you are beautiful. Go forward in your boldness, in your beauty and in your contentedness. Trust your body to birth and know that the collective power of women worldwide will be with you.

If I had my life to live over, instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
ERMA BOMBECK
Reader's Digest, 1982
Pregnancy demonstrates the deterministic character of woman's sexuality. Every pregnant woman has body and self taken over by a chthonian force beyond her control. In the welcome pregnancy, this is a happy sacrifice. But in the unwanted one, initiated by rape or misadventure, it is a horror. Such unfortunate women look directly into nature's heart of darkness. For a fetus is a benign tumor, a vampire who steals in order to live. The so-called miracle of birth is nature getting her own way.

Pregnancy is a wonderful thing for the woman, it's a wonderful thing for the husband, it's certainly an inconvenience for a business. And whether people want to say that or not, the fact is it is an inconvenience for a person that is running a business.
DONALD TRUMP

Pregnancy can be a magical, wonderful time, when you may experience a dramatic improvement in your general health, and feel unusually happy, harmonious and healthy, a pattern which may continue in subsequent pregnancies.

People always say that pregnant women have a glow. And I say it's because you're sweating to death.

Because they've either conveniently forgotten with time or they're trying to be supportive, most mothers won't tell you how hard pregnancy (and then childbirth) can be. Let me tell you, it is. It's brutal sometimes! But, if I did it, ANYONE can do it. I mean, I always knew I was meant to do something really BIG in life, and now I know that this was it. Screw winning an Academy Award someday ... I GAVE BIRTH!

In my experience, when women are pregnant they're very proud of their bodies, but the moment the baby's born, they're not. I don't think it's important women return to the shape they were before. I think if your body grew a baby, that's an amazing thing and you should be proud of that. But it's hard for women to feel that way.

Pregnancy is a disease from which you recover in 18 years and 9 months.
CARRIE LATET

When I was pregnant with my first child, if I wasn't at work I was doing one of three things: sitting on my couch half asleep, eating on my couch half asleep, or sleeping (probably on my couch). That was one chill-ass pregnancy, folks. Sure, I had nausea, sciatica, shortness of breath, but no one symptom lasted a terribly long time and life was OK. My second pregnancy I was chasing a two-year-old all over the place, commuting over an hour to my job, vomiting for 24 weeks, and I never rested. Still, somehow, my second pregnancy was way easier than my first.

The only time a woman wishes she was a year older is when she's expecting a baby.

The pregnancy, I wouldn't really wish that upon anyone. Anyone. It's all worth it in the end, so I would definitely suffer through that, but pregnancy was not a good experience for me.
KIM KARDASHIAN
"13 Brutally Honest Celebrity Quotes About Pregnancy", Marie Claire, March 30, 2016
That first pregnancy is a long sea journey to a country where you don't know the language, where land is in sight for such a long time that after a while it's just the horizon -- and then one day birds wheel over that dark shape and it's suddenly close, and all you can do is hope like hell that you've had the right shots.

Novel About My Wife
With all of my pregnancies, I lived a minimum of 45 minutes from the hospital, so roadside delivery was a very real possibility. I always kept towels in the car just in case. Too bad I couldn't fit a midwife in the glove compartment, too!
