If there is a dream that millions of people around the world share, it is growing and start a family.
These dreams come complete with white picket fences, sprawling gardens, and children running around laughing when the weather is finally warm. And that's a beautiful thing. In fact, pregnancy itself is quite spectacular.
But even with so much beauty, there are some things about pregnancy that are ... well ... a bit odd. After all, something as hardcore as the creation of another human life is bound to have its creepy charms.
