The Joys of Pregnancy

To be an average 16 year old girl and pregnant poses so many issues however being 26 and pregnant can pose different issues but issues nonetheless. I can sit here and lists things that are absolutely revolting such as morning sickness, skin discoloration, extreme cramping, stretch marks (not only on your stomach, you can get stretch marks on your rear end as well) and even postpartum hair loss. If anyone is pregnant or was pregnant the mere shock of the news is frightening enough, to think of child birth and raising a life form is terrifying.

I don't find any joys in being pregnant- at least physically. If your lucky enough to have a wonderful partner and amazing family, you will be fine but emotionally you'll still be a wreck. I came across this book in Barnes and Nobles and thought it was an oxymoron. I would advise women that want children in the future to wait until they can provide a stable household, they are ready mentally and professionally for a child and make sure you have a good support system. I could be 19 or 31 but if I do not have a job, no income, no baby daddy it doesn't matter what age you are, you're probably not ready.

I think the ultimate joy of pregnancy is the end when you get to hold your baby. My mom always told me "when you see your child you'll really know what love is."
