妊婦さんは美しい/Pregnant Women are Beautiful

今日は旦那さまのお友達数人とご飯へ。皆「妊婦生活どう？」といつも聞いてくれます。そしてフランスの人と会うと、かなり例に漏れず言われるのが、「You look beautiful！」という嬉しい褒め言葉☆

バスなんかでも妊婦さんを見かけると十中八九席を譲ってくれます。日本では譲る側が何となく恥ずかしかったり声を掛けづらかったり、ということもあるような気がするけど、こっちは妊婦さん大事！ってスタンスがとても強い気がする。

旦那さまもフランス人は普段は人のことあまり構わないけど、妊婦さんは神聖な感じで大事にされてる気がする〜と言ってます。こっちに来てすぐ妊娠したおかげか近所のお店に行くと旦那さまはよく「奥さんどう〜？」と聞かれるそうな（笑）。

We went for dinner with my hubby's friends. Everybody ask me 'How's the pregnant life?' and moreover, most of the people tell me 'you look beautiful!'

When I'm on the bus, almost every time, people offer seat for pregnant women. In Japan, I think sometimes people are shy to tell people that they want to offer seat, but here in France, I think pregnant women are cared very carefully.

Hubby says that French people don't care too much about others usually but they care about pregnant women very much. Since I was pretty much pregnant since I came to Paris, my hubby says he is always asked by shops around our house about me ; )

ちなみに最近私がよく使うバスの新しい車種（？）は乳母車スペースがとっても大きく取られている。電車は結構乳母車は乗せづらいので、バス使うママさんが多いからかな。１枚目が古いバス。二枚目は新しいバス。スペースはまだ左にも広がってます。写真入り切らなかった（＾＾ゞ

BTW, recent new type bus that I use often are taking a lot of space for buggies. It's quite difficult to get on train with the buggy so people use bus often when they have buggy. First photo is old bus and second one is new type. There's even more space on the left. It didn't fit in my camera..
