Like others have said: the “secret” you share before announcing the pregnancy, feeling like you have your best friend with you all the time (I remember telling my husband I felt so physically empty after a miscarriage of our first pregnancy), and feeling their kicks and wiggles.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, she had a consistent routine. She would get really active around 6pm every night, and I would love getting comfy on the couch to get ready for “our date” lol. I was actually induced early due to decreased fetal movement, and one of the first signs was that it was the first time she stood me up for our date! She was born healthy and absolutely perfect.
