    Funny? Definitely different. Do women think that way? I don't know what to think about that one.

    Like guys, we're not clones and don't have a hive mind, so you might as well ask if humans' favorite color is green. ;-)

    Anyway, some mothers get a swelled ego out of being pregnant because of the massive amount of positive attention they get. I've seen some articles by mothers that said they felt the exact opposite: that it wasn't a big deal, they hated the attention, and in many cases really disliked the smugness their 'mother Earth' counterparts showed.

    Then there's the childless & childfree women that think pregnancy is the most awesome thing ever — and the ones that think it's completely overrated. (Infertile women like me, of course, can fall into either camp.)
