Myself included, is how self-centered we become. I felt like it was all about me. Perhaps it's an unconscious survival tactic. I mean, I never talked like it was all about me, but I sure did feel that way. The other thing, while pregnant I wanted to be with other pregnant people.

The nausea in the first couple of months is unlike any nausea I ever experience before that time or after; it comes from your very soul. Plus, it was common to be nauseated and starving at the same time. Very strange.
