There are certain little pregnancy habits that do not fully make sense until they suddenly happen to you. For former Apink member Hong Yukyung (also known as Hong Yookyung), that moment seems to have arrived right around the 16-week mark, when her baby bump started showing, and she finally understood why expecting mothers always seem to rest their hands on their bellies.
