Discussion»Questions»Pregnancy» Girls: If you are or have been pregnant, was your pregnancy accidental or planned? How does it feel to carry a life within you?
Although my one and only pregnancy was 32 years ago, I remember it like yesterday. He was not planned by us. I was scared the entire time not knowing what to expect. I wanted a healthy baby that was predominant in my mind.
I remember asking a family member what to expect when I felt him move for the first time. I was told that it would feel like butterflies in my stomach. I waited and waited for him to move. When he finally did, it did feel like butterflies. Later, he would get under my ribs and kick. I loved every single moment and cherish him. He's a grown man now and I'm just waiting for him and my daughter-in-law to bless us with a little one.

My daughter was planned (she's 30 years old), but I did not enjoy being pregnant at all. I was lucky that I didn't have morning sickness. I loved the feeling of her kicks, and sometimes it felt like she was jogging. That part was adorable. I didn't enjoy the attention I received being pregnant, I always felt disgusted that people would just touch my belly without asking, I felt awkward being so big, and sleeping during the ninth month, forget about it. All of those reasons and then some are why I stopped at one baby. She was a fantastic baby though. My daughter is due in April, and I can NOT wait.
Lovely answer, Lavender. I love your honesty. I never touch a pregnant woman's belly, even if she invites me to feel her baby move. I don't feel comfortable about it.

Thank you, Neelie. I too would never touch a pregnant woman's belly. I haven't even done that to my daughter, nor would I even if she didn't mind. I find it very creepy and weird.
