I feel like it is most common to have lots of annoying pregnancy symptoms but honestly, I feel pretty great. I've managed to not have any indigestion/heartburn, stuffiness, swelling, etc. I even enjoy sex. Not like 5 times a week but weekly. I've gained a ton of weight but keep reminding myself that women all over the world starve while pregnant so having an abundance of fresh, delicious food is really a blessing. My family is supportive and generous, my partner is wonderful and in general my stepson tries not to make me insane. Of course I'm tired and hormonal and it is definitely harder to climb mountains (okay, central PA mountains) than it used to be but that's all part of the territory. I feel guilty being like, "I love pregnancy!" but honestly I'm sad to only have two more months. Anybody else feel like a beautiful, pregnant goddess?
Re: Anyone else feeling great?
Mean while - I've had anything but !!! Constant nausea, cramping, reflux, headaches, back aches, shortness of breath, start of preterm labour, irritable uterus and countless scans and test for a whole range of possible "high risk" categories!
You ladies are awesome! Live it up for me!!! Totally in awe
Its actually really nice to hear!! Can I live vicariously through you??

Still throwing up at 32 weeks.
Glad to hear others are experiencing some great positives with pregnancy. You hear a lot of negative, but i'm sure we're all as thankful as can be for these little humans growing inside whether we are having a great pregnancy or not so great!
At my baby shower the other day all of my friends were gushing over how good I looked (it made me feel a little embarrassed, but it was nice). An older lady friend of mine that I worked with for a lot of years said, 'You bitch. I was hoping you'd at least have a terrible complexion, and here you are looking perfect.' I laughed so hard, I have great friends.
My boyfriend makes me feel beautiful. I think he's more turned on by me being pregnant than when I wasn't lol We had sex 7 times in three days this week because he can't get enough of me lol. I feel like a goddess.
The only other thing is I'm tired but its hard to tell if that is from the baby or because of my thyroid which recently has gone haywire. I can sleep forever if I'm allowed.

The coolest part about being pregnant, is being able to see and feel the baby move around. It really does remind me of alien!
