There were many differences between being pregnant in Moscow and in America, some were good, some bad and most…just different. We don’t have a car here…so walking, and public transportation are part of our daily life. Also, the majority of my pregnancy was spent in subfreezing temperatures. Having to bundle up and slide around on the snow and ice everyday made life more interesting, especially with a changing center of gravity. Even going to doctor’s appointments involved a 30 minute metro ride and a 30 minute walk each way…which was especially difficult at my January appointment when it was 20 degrees below zero. Being pregnant here in Moscow has been difficult…some days I feel like a martyr, some days like wonder woman and some days it is just life.
