Fourth month is the hardest...

Well, I have come to the conclusion that the fourth month of pregnancy is the hardest... Not physically, obviously, but emotionally. There's my reasoning:

  • Your just now feeling yourself again after the first months, but don't want to over-do it. Do you push yourself? Do you whimp out?
  • Your belly hasn't grown a ton (although some of the women on line look like their 7 months pregnant already). You just basically look like your bloated, or have gained a few pounds.
  • The baby may move here and there, but there's no consistent movement. Those insecurities that you have begin to creep in... is the baby ok? Is the baby growing enough and properly?
  • You don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl... so no planning can be done and no purchasing of items. Just waiting.
  • Just all over emotional tendencies as your hormones race!!
So, these (in a nut shell) is why I think the 4th month of pregnancy is a rough one, emotionally. And I suppose it puts you in my mind for a moment, and these are a few things that I'm dealing with these days... internally/emotionally.
