I was talking about this with another redditor the other day. Pregnancy seems to go hand in hand with traditional roles. Of course, there are always other factors at play like infertility, finances, individual circumstances etc. But when it is possible, getting pregnant is such an amazing, beautiful privilege.

As a woman, getting pregnant is more than just something society expects us to do. Being impregnated by the Man you love is the ultimate act of submission and devotion for us. Allowing our Men to change our bodies and our lives forever and make their mark on us is such a beautiful way to give ourselves to them. We are fulfilling our biological purpose to its core, and in doing so, become more dependent on our Men than we have ever been.

I asked my Husband what it was like for Him as a Man. He told me that giving your woman a child is no different, it is also the ultimate commitment as a Man. It is laying claim to her body, and accepting her gift of submission. She has entrusted you with her life and body and is giving you a child in return.

As a dominant Man, He also loved seeing the changes I went through during pregnancy. It was clear to anyone that I was His property and undoubtedly owned. When people congratulated us, they were congratulating His masculinity and my fertility as a woman. Watching my body change was like watching the his hard work bear fruit and getting to enjoy seeing success every day.

Biology is beautiful!
