A vent to pregnant mamas out there

For the love of gummy bears, can we try to be more positive about our pregnancies? Instead of telling anyone with ears how horrible pregnancy nausea is for you, why not share how amazing it is to feel those first kicks? Or maybe we can share the adorable thing your husband did or said instead of saying how terrible pregnancies are for you. Women spend so much time talking about the bad parts of pregnancy that we forget to put it in perspective. Is it glamorous? Nope - but we get to grow a HUMAN and that is an amazing feat. Instead of telling men how lucky they are that they don't have to "go through this", maybe we should feel sorry that they can't experience this. We are all guilty of spending too much time talking about how often we threw up this week, or the aches and pains we feel, mostly because we've been led to believe that's what defines pregnancy. It's become a competition between women, akin to telling war stories and showing battle scars. Don't even get me started on hearing these complaints from a pregnant gal when you are struggling to get or stay pregnant - I can't even begin to share that pain and frustration without sounding like a bitter old hag. 

From here forward, if anyone hears me complain, will you just ask me what the best pregnancy moment that week was? Lets start reveling in the unbelievable thing our body is working to accomplish.
