Oh, I love being pregnant too. I’m currently pregnant with number 3 – I’m loving these early weeks a little less given the nausea :) but know how amazing it is to be given the privilege on this earth to grow a new life. Yay for being a woman!

Kate! I so know what you mean. It is a holy place. I find it so easy to tap in to that sacred place when pregnant.

Um, cutest pregnant mama ever:)

I think one of the hardest thoughts about being done with having babies is knowing my body is done growing and birthing them. Pregnancy is a time when the spirit of women past, present, and future seems to converge in holy ways inside us. Its a connection to our mothering net at the deepest level….so glad you are taking the time and space to enjoy it. xoxo

I don’t enjoy being pregnant, I’m afraid. Too much nausea with me, but I understand what you’re saying all the same. I have two kids and I feel sad to think I might not have another. Even though I don’t enjoy pregnancy it does hold an undeniable magic and groundedness, and it brings me back into myself.

I suppose that this time, now, when I suspect I may never do it again is the time to find that outside of pregnancy and birth. After all, I deserve it no matter how many babies I have.

Isn’t pregnancy amazing! I seemed to do the same thing and once my babes were born, I stopped taking care of myself and just focused on their health and well being. About a year ago, I made a conscious effort to take care of myself and it has been creeping in more and more every day!
Lovely to hear about your pregnancy!

Andrea, that is such a great point! Modeling is a great reason to keep on with all these healthy habits. Thanks so much for reminding me of that.

I have a friend who feels the way you do. She just really doesn’t like being pregnant. The kicker is that she has these awesome, quick births without even putting much thought or effort into it. (Or at least that’s my perception ;-) I’d be curious to hear more about your childbirth experiences.

Thanks so much for sharing!

After enduring 2 pregnancies and enjoying my sweet babies (youngest is coming up on 9 mths)… I don’t share your love of pregnancy (hence the use of the word “enduring”!) but I completely understand how women (myself included) are so much more conscious of how they take care of themselves when they are pregnant.

At the moment my motivation to be healthy and stay fit is STILL linked to my kids. Part of it is because I’m still nursing one of them… but beyond that, I want to be an example for them – I want to show them how to be active and healthy… how to take proper care of themselves.

… wish I enjoyed pregnancy as much as you. On the up side of that… I don’t mind labour so much and I ADORE the little ones!
