Youre a fertile human capable of reproducing!
Your partners swimmers and your egg did their respective biological jobs!
Youre high on (the miracle of) life!
Starting around week eight, your embryo becomes a fetus, which registers as a massive feat.
The thing is, while you definitelyfeelpregnant (i.e.
bloated, groggy, and maybe even vomity), you dont exactlylookthe part quite yet.
To celebrate the embryo-to-fetus milestone, you go to great lengths to prepare the tastiest mocktail possible.
Its not that great, but whatevs.
Youre officially in the second trimester!
Its the honeymoon trimester and youre ready for that energy boost youve been hearing so much about.
Even if you cant feel the fetus kicking quite yet, youre pretty positive its in there.
The Internet tells you its about the size of an avocado, which seems significant.
Youve reached the third trimester!
The last stretch (literally).
The idea of giving birth is suddenly very real (and terrifying!
), so you routinely remind yourself that almost everyone walking the planet is a product of this process.
It cant be THAT bad.
Or can it???
Youre a whale, and youre really starting to doubt that youll ever look like yourself again.
Youll do ANYTHING to go into labor and be done with this pregnancy business already!!!
Youre too large to do much of anything these days, including sleep.
But you muster the energy to tackle any labor triggering activity you might dream up.
