All of it rings true to me. Especially the touching. I didn't realize how much touching there is when nursing a baby and how it results in you never wanting to be touched by someone else. One other that I would add: No one ever told you that it would take a year to lose the baby weight and by the end you may not even care... What a great essay. All of it rings true to me.

I am almost 8 months pregnant and I feel the same way about people asking how it is to be pregnant. You tell them you have to pee all the time and that you are tired beyond thinking clearly, but they don't really believe you...they laugh!! I'm like, "No, you aren't getting it!" Pregnancy is not all glowing skin and blissfulness. My body will never be the same and can I honestly remember what it felt like to be me, pre-pregnancy? Not really. In the end it WILL be worth it. It will be, it will be, IT WILL BE! I am so glad to read this stuff! I am almost 8 months pregnant and I feel the same way about people asking how it is to be pregnant.

It’s true. We don’t tell our pregnant friends everything, not because we don’t think they can take it, not because we don’t think they’ll believe us, but because it hurts to relive it and it’s easier to joke about sleepless nights than to go into details about how hard it really is.

My youngest is a month away from turning 18, and there are brief (yes, very brief!) moments when I wish for those sleepless nights. No truer words were spoken.
