Differences in the Pregnancy Journey (explained in memes)

It seems as though everyone is having a baby these days. I can think offhand of about 3 other couples that have delivered a newborn in the recent past weeks, which makes me wonder if the fall/winter time is a popular time to get jiggy wit it. I guess there's not much to do when it gets dark at 5pm.

Anyhow, in light of the different conversations I've had with the new parents, I've come to the conclusion that indeed, men are from Mars, and women are from Venus....especially when it comes to their experiences through the 9 months of pregnancy.

I could write a whole book on it, but it's been done before, so I decided to explain it to the non-parents what the experience is like, through colorful internet memes. (Those who have kids can either confirm or debate this, but there's a good 99.9% chance I'm on the mark.)

First, let's quickly review what it's like from a female's perspective...

Yep, that's pretty much it. This is, of course, according to a guy's perspective, so that's how I saw it. I might be liberally missing a few minor details, like emotions, personal reflection, sacrifice, etc, etc, but this sums it up pretty nicely, I think.

Now, compare this with a guy's experience, and you'll get to see what we go through...
