100 Quotes for Pregnant Women to Celebrate New Beginnings
Pregnancy is the dawn of new possibilities. Here's a collection of insightful quotes for pregnant women to comfort and prepare them for the upcoming changes.
Motherhood is a spectrum of emotions. On one hand, you’re excited to meet the mini-you, on the other, you’re scared about the uncertainties the future holds. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed. It is a rewarding experience but at the same time, you sacrifice a lot. Soon-to-be mothers go through (often irreparable) physical, mental, and emotional alterations.

But being in a supportive, happy, and healthy environment can be extremely helpful. So when someone you know is pregnant, it is important to show your absolute support. These quotes for pregnant women — most of which are by fellow pregnant women — can guide them while embarking on this new journey.
