Ask any man about "what would it be like if you were pregnant" and they will answer in unison..
SIGOURNEY WEAVER
Yes, the movie Alien is how we relate to a pregnancy. All of us have the scene where the alien leaps out of the guy's stomach. To feel the baby moving inside her tummy is so foreign to us males that we can't even put it into words. I know it is a baby...but it seems like a thing. A moving thing. I'd barf for months.
The funny thing is really when you first see the baby. It looks like a thing. It is VERY scary. Our first daughter came out purple, covered in gross stuff and screaming. I said put it back. They made us keep it.
After a few hours when they cleaned her up and she turned pink and cute, then I decided that we'd give her a name and keep her. But it was touch and go for a while. Figured I could drop it by the Goodwill on the way home.
Glad we kept it though...she turned out beautiful.
But somewhere...on a ship in the coldness of space...three astronauts are looking at a forth, and wondering why he is writhing in pain...
