9 months of marathon

I'm approaching 22 weeks now, which is slightly more than halfway through the whole pregnancy. There is still 18 more weeks to go. Sometimes, I feel that I'm running a 9 months marathon, getting out of breath at times. I wonder whether all the mothers share the same sentiments as me when they were pregnant. I must say that all mothers are really great. They have to endure such a long and tedious process just to conceive the baby. Three cheers for all the mothers out there!!! I really salute the hard work and the discomfort that you have endured. Sometimes, we may complain to our partners how much we are enduring, but I wonder how much they will truly understand. I hope I'm not doing a great injustice to all the daddies out there.
