Bellies

I hate to see pg bellies....but when I do see them (which is WAY too often) I can't help but stare at them. It's like seeing a 4 headed-person, or an alien, I just don't understand how it is possible, it must be fake. Not only are normal pg bellies baffling to me, older pg bellies astonish me. How can someone 10-15 yrs older than me have a pg belly and I can't? I try really hard to remember that everyone has a story...maybe they had troubles...and I only feel better when I convince myself that she must have had 5 IVFs and this is her miracle child.

Pg bellies also make me really sad. I almost cried yesterday when one walked into my office. I wonder if any pg women realize how many IF ladies avoid them in stores? Wipe silent tears away when they see the expecting mothers happily pet their tummies? A huge fear of mine is that when I finally have my pg belly that it may cause someone I don't know (or know) as much sorrow as I feel when I see one.
