You should not be ashamed of being pregnant

That statement in itself is enough to make you speculate on the reasons as to why you are pregnant in the first place. Realistically, you must have engaged in some worthwhile pursuit of pleasure which resulted in an infusion of biological fragments that landed you in the predicament in which you presently find yourself.

Assuming this occurance happened of your own free will, then predicament would be too strong a word to apply. Probably situation or even circumstance. And in this case, you should have no reason to be ashamed.

If on the other hand, you were forced and ended up in your present situation, then maybe you have every reason to droop your head in shame.

Unfortunately, as is the case with everything in life, human interpretations of happenings, are not that simple.

There are many schools of thought out there on pregnancy as a process and eventual out come. I will share some now.

One set of people argue that pregnancies ruin figures, apetite and general appearance of being attractive and interested in life. This assesment, like many others, depend on the person in question, many people have carried more than 3 children and you cannot tell by looking at them. If unfortunately you are one of the unlucky ones, whose figure tends to go south and you become bitter with life in general, then maybe you should be ashamed of being pregnant. The whole world and his sister should not suffer because you are suddenly uncomfortable in your own skin.

Another set might argue that since you only suffer 9 months, you should shoulder the circumstance like the good soilder the woman is. These tend to see pregnancy as responsibility or duty rather than appreciation of a gift. Their arguement is that since you were built with the equipment to bear children, use it and move on.

This preoccupation with duty is not a bad thing in itself, i would just like to caution such people by saying, people have died in the name of duty or have suffered complications and cannot bear more children in the name of doing their duty.

There is yet another set of people who i will call "romantic" who are inlove with the idea of being pregnant and these would probably be the people who are not embarrased in any way to be pregnant. I commend them.All of us should embrace the situation, be proud of the moment, cherish the moment. It only happens so often, if God grants it.

The one arguement or theme that runs along all the different sets of ideas and does justice to the whole idea of procreation shall remain the edict that God made that we should go into the world and multiply. I have seen many people take this to heart, and to them i say "good luck".

My only arguement is, if you must multiply at an alarming rate, have the decency to plan properly and i am not talking about Family planning in particular. Im talking about having children you can actually take care of.

I have walked along the streets of the city, i have seen more children without parents than with them. Where are the "responsible" paragons of society that willingly engage in procreation but do not care enough what happens once the child is born.

To them i say,you SHOULD be ashamed to be pregnant.
