I have been pregnant twice in my life. For 18 months +, I have been pregnant. And to be honest, it sucks! Even though you might look it, and people say it to you on a daily basis, you do not feel like you have "the pregnancy glow" or "just look like you swallowed a (insert small round object here)" You feel sweaty, oily, fat, tired, and if you are one of the unlucky ones, nauseous. As if not being able to eat and drink what your heart desires isn't bad enough, throw in some nausea.
Don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful to God that I had the privilege of being able to carry children in my womb and experience this amazing thing called pregnancy, but that did not take away the back, side, leg or pelvic pains, it did not lessen the emotional roller coaster and it certainly did not make vomiting any more fun!
PS. Telling a pregnant lady she is "really get big now!", is not a compliment. That stopped being a compliment when we were 9!
