What Pregnancy is via cartoon.

Pregnancy isnt for the mild hearted couple. If you plan on gettin involved in this mess of a game called growing a human with another person, then make sure you like that person ALOT, cause let me tell you...it aint pretty for most of the time. I have cartooned just some of the "beauty" of pregnancy to clarify why its important to love the person you are doing it with....cause if you were just "so so" before...its going to get messy...fast....both literally and metaphorically.


Here we are. Happy couple meet pregnancy.
Pregnancy: " Oh hi there, you two look like a lovely couple, why dont i join you for nine months?
Couple: "sure! then we get to have a baby at the end of it!"






Pregnancy: "Oh sorry, did i forget to mention that you still have to love her through endless days of vomitting?"
Boy: "oh....thats okay..."

Pregnancy: "Oh did i forget to tell you that her belly will become much much larger than a watermelon under her skin?
Boy: "oh...well thats okay! that just means theres a baby in there..."

Pregnancy: "Oh did i mention that that big baby belly is going to become marked up with red and purple lines because im making her grow too fast? "
Boy: "oh....well...those will fade...its all a part of the process..."

Pregnancy: "alas, i may not have told you that i am going to make her extremities swell also. They will probably twice the size, and having her put shoes on will be a really big effort"
Boy: "oh dear....well we can work on elevating them up..."

Pregnancy: " Whoops, also, because of everythign else that has gone on physically to her, she also will now become super emotional and horomonal throughout this whole process...so you may notice she cries more and throws mini tantrums for no reason.."
Boy: " I wish there was something i could do to help..."


Pregnancy: Oooooh, right...and you are going to see her in a very messy, very intimate way when that baby decides to come out...there will be bad words and some images you will wish you hadnt seen"
Boy: "Holy cow."



Pregnancy: " congratulations for making it through....now you get the prize."
Boy: "totally worth it."


So. Its a process. But people keep telling me its a worthwhile one :)
