Pregnancy is getting company inside one's skin.

Scarf’s line captures pregnancy as an intimate, bodily form of companionship: another presence is not merely nearby but literally “inside one’s skin.” The phrasing emphasizes the altered boundaries of selfhood pregnancy can bring—privacy, autonomy, and bodily ownership feel redefined when one’s body becomes shared space. It also hints at the emotional ambivalence of gestation: “company” can be welcome, burdensome, uncanny, or all at once. By choosing a plain, almost wry metaphor, the quote compresses the physical reality of pregnancy (inhabitation, movement, constraint) into a social experience, making the condition legible as both relationship and transformation.
