Pregnancy Quotes

Those nine months... what a world unto itself.

Pregnancy isn't just a physical period; it's a complete spiritual and emotional transformation. Your body is no longer solely your own; it's a temple for a new life growing within. The fear, the joy, the worry, the love that floods your heart even before you see your child. It's a miracle unfolding slowly, leaving you completely different from who you were.

So, how have mothers and the wise expressed this unique journey? Here are their **quotes** on pregnancy, motherhood, and the beginning of life.

Advice to expectant mothers: you must remember that when you are pregnant, you are eating for two. But you must remember that the other one of you is about the size of a golf ball, so let's not go overboard with it. I mean, a lot of pregnant women eat as though the other person they're eating for is Orson Welles.

Every woman while she would be ready to die of shame if surprised in the act of generation, nonetheless carries her pregnancy without a trace of shame and indeed with a kind of pride. The reason is that pregnancy is in a certain sense a cancellation of the guilt incurred by coitus; thus coitus bears all the shame and disgrace of the affair, while pregnancy, which is so intimately associated with it, stays pure and innocent and is indeed to some extent sacred.

Envy the kangaroo. That pouch setup is extraordinary; the baby crawls out of the womb when it is about two inches long, gets into the pouch, and proceeds to mature. I'd have a baby if it would develop in my handbag.
