The most wacko things you think when you're pregnant

I definitely don't feel pregnant today and that's actually quite nice. I'm thin, fit, fresh, ambitious and well, just myself. But then panic sets in.

Is everything okay? Are they growing well, those two in my belly? Why do I feel so... normal? Where are those hormones? Where are the babies? Panic. As soon as another wave of nausea sweeps through your body, you feel down again and you know it again: you are really pregnant and those kids will be here soon. And those lovely tight Levi's no longer fit and yes, that's also a clear sign that something is indeed growing. But it still remains a thing. Do you actually feel good, do you worry again about the fact that you feel good? If you don't feel good, you just want to sleep and cry.

A lot goes through your mind when you're pregnant. You bounce from one emotion to another and sometimes you just don't know what to do with yourself. Why do you crave cornflakes with milk at ten o'clock at night? Why don't you want dinner anymore? Well, just admit it, cornflakes are fine, there are worse things. But there's more.

• In the first weeks, you literally check your toilet paper after every pee: is there blood on it? No. Luckily. Nothing to worry about.
• With stomach cramps caused by food, you immediately think something is wrong, while it's really your overly sensitive intestines making room for that uterus that's stretching. Not very charming, but that's how it is.
• You don't dare to sit up straight in bed anymore because you can't use your abdominal muscles. So you crawl out of bed slowly on your side like an eighty-year-old grandma.
• You think with every name you hear: is that one for us?
• Then those five months you have left sound like an eternity, then it feels like you need to hurry up with that nursery. Emotions all over.
• You stand a bit more uncertain in front of the mirror when you see your belly, while you really know that there are children growing in there and you haven't just eaten too much pasta. By the way, you also don't eat too much pasta, because you only crave cornflakes.
• You can cry in your bed from happiness and then cry from misery. Within four seconds.
• You dream about the delivery. While you can't really change or do much about it.
• You're out of breath after two meters of cycling and you think you need to exercise more to stay fit. But you can't, because abdominal muscles.
• You have a high libido while you are, well, also very tired at the same time. How is that?.

Well. Don't worry if you're dealing with all this. It happens to the average pregnant woman after all. And that one sunny day when you feel thin: enjoy it. There will undoubtedly be many more days when you feel very, very, very... Pregnant.
