      Okay, all good points, but what about how it affects women?

    I did not enjoy being pregnant.  One of my best friends thought it was the most wonderful times of her life.  The nausea and sickness were debilitating in the second pregnancy.  I was hungry for four straight months during the first one.  I gained 65 pounds and delivered a six-pound baby.  Ugh!  I hated getting stuck walking through slender spaces that normally were not a problem.  Like in your picture, I had to move my seat so far back to drive that my arms were straight out to reach the steering wheel.  But, I lived through it twice and know that my girls were my best blessings ever.

    You will.  I think it seems worse now than it seemed at the time.  A lot of things are like that in life.  I wish you all kinds of happiness planning and preparing for your family.  There is nothing to compare with the whole picture there.  :)
