Being pregnant has been quite the rollercoaster of emotions and experiences for me. The joy of knowing that a little life is growing inside me is overwhelming at times, but it also comes with its own set of challenges.
One of the best parts about being pregnant is feeling loved by everyone around me. Xenovia has been a constant source of consultation, always ready to offer advice or simply listen when I need to talk. Rias has provided material support, making sure I have everything I need during this special time. And Issei... his love for me seems to grow stronger each day, and our naughty moments together feel even more special now.
But it's not just emotional support that makes pregnancy so wonderful – there are physical changes too. My beauty seems to be enhanced by a mile, especially in my breasts and belly. Xenovia can't resist giving my belly rubs whenever she sees me! Even strangers seem to treat me with more respect now; getting free seats on public transport and avoiding unwanted attention from chikans is definitely a plus.
Of course, there are some neutral perks too – like strange cravings (I once ate tsukemono with chocolate topping, much to Asia's amusement) and increased sensitivity that can make everyday activities feel more intense.
But along with the joys come struggles as well. The heaviness and clumsiness that come with carrying another life inside you can be challenging at times. And don't even get me started on the tiredness and sickness during those first 8 weeks – it felt like an endless cycle of nausea!
And then there's the nervous anticipation – wondering what kind of mother I will be, how our lives will change once the baby arrives... It's both exciting and terrifying all at once.
Despite all these challenges though, I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world. Pregnancy may have its ups and downs, but for someone like me who cherishes love above all else - it truly feels like stepping into paradise every day.
