Good day pilgrims!
First, may I say it has been such a joy to read everyone's posts and responses. What a beautiful community!
I am wondering if there are any former pilgrims who walked the Camino while pregnant? Or perhaps knew someone who did? I know it mainly depends on body type and level of fitness, but I'm looking for those who have done it.
Blessings on your day!
Wanderlust,
Seems like SY is offering some advice worth following up?
I have never been pregnant;-), and never can be;-), however, and I say this in the knowledge I always look for the good in situations,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I simply cannot imagine a more wonderful love than that of a mother carrying an unborn child along a Camino.
I guess there may be some who may not agree with me but, to me, we can, should we desire to so, walk a Camino for ourselves, those past, those present and in hope for those who are our future.
As I type this I feel my throat tighten, tears swell in my eyes and a shiver run down my back because I believe I can feel the love an expectant mother may feel for that child yet to born as she walks her Camino, knowing that with God's grace, she and that child may be able to talk about their journey together one day.
I have just read my post before posting it. I am truly surprised by the words and emotion I have put into this but will still post because I believe I am being led by the spirit of our Camino.
