When I first discovered that I am pregnant after about 2 years of marriage, during which we didn’t seek to have babies before everything was settled in me and my partner’s life. The surprise overwhelmed me and aroused many conflicting feelings in my heart. Here are some of the most inspirational pregnancy quotes I came across.

For many people, including myself, pregnancy is and will always be a surprise, a type of change one never really feel absolutely ready for.

I have been browsing through people’s stories about pregnancy, and quotes. Yes, I started reading many quotes about pregnancy. For me quotes provide short advices that are quick but to the point, let alone inspirational.
