Why do pregnant women always rub their belly's?
This idyllic image is nothing to do with bonding with the baby beneath. No. Really its because stretching skin is itchy and uncomfortable. And especially in my situation, the baby will sometimes stick something out through your belly in a bid to permanently enlarge their room. It is therefore a normal reaction to reach down to this spot and by rubbing try to convince the baby to change position. However this doesn't always work, and if your baby is anything like Starbucks they'll actually push back and reassert that they are now claiming this place for their own.

Why do pregnant women always put their hands on the arch of their backs?
This is annoying. There is simply no where else to put them. You can't cross your arms normally, as there's a bump in the way, you cant fit your hands in your front pockets anymore as thigh growth has made this pocket incapable of holding anything other than list of all the things you can't remember. Additionally, anywhere you can find on your front to put your hands will only contribute to overbalancing forward as your already very front heavy. Therefore somewhere on your back is the only option, so why not go for the typical pregnancy pose, as if you are pushing the bump out from behind.
Its fun learning these things, as they are pretty much an instinct and nothing you can do to stop them without a massive conscious effort. Its so odd being part of the pregnant culture. My only fear is - how much will remain post birth?!
