pregnancy takes up a lot of mental space. Worrying if the baby is healthy, moving enough, if your diet and lifestyle is the best for the baby, coming up with a name, imagining what the child's personality will be, imagining how being parent will be, etc. etc. Not to mention wondering what labor will be like!

But I loved every minute of my three pregnancies. All healthy, thank God.
