Bumpy in the tropics

There is no better place in the world than Brazil for being pregnant. People here are enormously kind and helpful to pregnant women. I already start missing all this attention, which will vanish very soon.

Be it in banks, shops, on the street. From taxi drivers, waiters, shop clerks, pedestrians in general. It's all smiles, helping hands and politeness. Pure bliss.

On top of that, people seem to feel magnetized by baby bumps.. Women love it - they want to know the gender, the name, the due date (oh, you look so fit!) - and men (believe me) seem to have a strange, out-of-place attraction towards it as well.

It is time then to enjoy the last leg of the ride as in a few weeks time I'll go from being "with child" to being overweight (and not so sure if you are still pregnant or not - awful!) and then the real hard work starts. Shedding baby kilos is surely not such an easy task at 37.
