I get asked a lot of questions. I don't mind them. I was very curious about pregnancy before I became pregnant and more so after.
One question I am asked a lot is, "why do pregnant women put their hands on their belly?" There are different reasons and I'll break it down by trimester.
1st Trimester:
a) To indicate that my bulging belly is in fact, a baby, not a food baby.
b) My tummy hurts and my hands make it feel better
c) To have a little mommy and me time
 |
| Baby bump, not food baby! |
2nd Trimester:
a) Again, to show that this is a baby, not last night's spaghetti!
b) Something is moving inside me and I want to feel it (was that gas or baby? Not yet sure)
 |
| Baby resides here |
3rd Trimester:
b) A big belly makes a nice shelf to rest my hands on. And my coffee cup. And my iPad. And...
c) To feel her little feet and bottom poking out as she moves around in her tiny home (this is way cool)
 |
| Oh la la... nice shelf! |
But the most precious moment is when my hubby touches my belly. I didn't know I'd feel all mushy about it, but I do! I know, I know... I'm such a sap.
