每年全球一亿多女性，为何都对这段旅程如此兴奋？
球！
A Ball !
整个腹腔前所未有的膨大起来，
据说子宫增长了15倍。
“是个男孩”！
好多人都如此猜测。
As it's said that the uterus could be
fifteen times bigger than it used to,
my abdomen became inevitably
bigger than it was before.
"IT must be a boy! "
That's the guess from lots of people.

刚刚吃了早饭， 我就想，午饭吃些什么，
吃着午饭，又会想，晚饭再来点什么？
With breakfast just finished,
there's the thought for lunch.
And while having lunch,
the idea for dinner came along.

如此好胃口，以致全身膨胀感，
夜半时常腿抽筋。
My appetite was so good that the whole body
was like getting inflated and leg cramps
became common during nights.

没有由来的伤感、哭泣。
Feeling low and weeping without
knowing reasons why.

不停地跑厕所。
Rushing to restroom frequently.

我甚至不愿意见到镜子中的自己。
Couldn't accept the one in the mirror.

然而这一切又何必挂齿？
我仍然很快乐！
However, I was undoubtedly pleased
with all the unpleasant experiences.

TA正在我身体里学习聆听、记忆，
用大脑、神经控制身体运动，
控制肠胃消化食物，
控制心脏输送血液，
还有比这更奇妙的生命旅程？！
Within my body,
IT actually was listening, memorizing,
and using its brain and nerves to control its movement,
its digestion system,
its blood delivery of heart.
Could there be anything more amazing
than the journey of life?

把生命中种种柠檬般的酸楚，
酿成犹如柠檬汽水般的甘甜。
这便是孕育新生命时给予我的启示，
你所承受的独特孕期感受事实上
是所有母亲都承受过的。
在TA努力从卵子成长为胚胎到胎儿时，
我亦同样努力要成长为真正的母亲：
敬畏生命与创造、耐心坚韧、乐观且充满希望。
What I learned during pregnancy was
that life was like turning a sour lemon
into a cup of sweet lemonade.
Those unique experiences for you
were actually shared by all mothers.
As IT was growing with its effort from
an egg to an embryo then to a fetus ,
I was growing with it to be a real mother
with awe of life and creation, perseverance,
optimism and hope.
妈妈们快来分享你难忘的孕期趣事！！下一集，尽请期待！
