In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Symbol”

I was a bit stuck (well not really, I wanted to take a different route but couldn’t think of anything else) so decided to choose something of a sentimental value to me and other mothers out there. My symbol for this week’s challenge is of my pregnancy belly or ‘bump’ to put it politely. 🙂

To me, pregnancy symbolises love, life, growth, existence, beauty and nature. It’s so fascinating how another human life can exist and grow in another’s body. I think pregnancy is the probably the only time when a woman is more than happy to pile on as many pounds as she can and still feel/look seriously good.

I managed to take a pregnancy ‘bump’ photo every month leading up to my birth as part of my visual pregnancy diary and wanted to share with you all for this week’s photo challenge… enjoy!

I loved my pregnancy body especially when my bump was fully showing. Even now, when I see mother-to-be’s with their developed bumps it makes me broody and just brings back all the memories. You don’t realise how quick those 9 months carrying a baby feels like once it’s passed. I hope you enjoyed the photos.
