There's this whole perception about pregnancy that it's the most beautiful thing in the world. That a woman carrying a child has a natural glow about them. That their maternal instinct just goes through the roof. That for nine months, they're in a state of eager anticipation. And that is somewhat true; the "anticipation" is unreal. But what a lot of people don't know is that the thing pregnant ladies are anticipating most is simply for the pregnancy to be over.
It's not a fun process - it's laborious, stressful and totally overwhelming. Of course, there are plenty of incredible highlights. Like the first time your baby kicks and just knowing that you're carrying your own flesh and blood inside of you. But man, there are some insane drawbacks.
And when you get to a certain point in your pregnancy, you feel like you're literally ready to burst. In fact, it seems insane to you that the kid hasn't come out yet because you couldn't be any more pregnant than you are now.
And I'll admit that I haven't yet experienced pregnancy firsthand, so I'm not exactly the most reliable source. But I have collated a list of 21 pregnant women who know exactly what it's like and are just bursting to get that baby out.
