Motherly Instinct. My ass.
You know that thing about women who find out they are pregnant instinctively cuddle their bellies? To protect and nurture the new life growing within them?
Bollocks.
I have since found out that women (me, for example) who do it, do it to let other women know that yes, they ARE pregnant and not just fat. For the last few weeks, I have found myself in the very enviable position of having a not so noticeable bump, but noticeable enough to look fat. So, yes, the hands go to the tummy all the time in the universal symbol of, feck off, I’m retaining water.
In other news, my insomnia is still going strong which is why I find myself trying to catch up with the rest of my life and almost 2 in the morning. Yay.
Disclaimer: Contrary to how I sound, I AM happy to be expecting.
