I have begun to waddle when I walk.  For some reason I believed that I would not need to waddle when I walked as a pregnant person, despite the fact that most women waddle when pregnant.  I’m not really sure why I thought this.  For a while, I have tried to avoid the natural desire my body had to sway slightly from side to side.  It actually takes some concentration and effort to walk straight. It really is more uncomfortable to try to walk straight than to just walk naturally swaying the way my body wants to.  I know that scientifically, our bodies waddle because our hips and joints are expanding in preparation for the oncoming delivery.  I suppose I considered myself a scientific anomaly. As my body continues to grow and every little thing becomes increasingly more uncomfortable and challenging, I’ve decided to give up the fight and embrace the waddle.
