I am unfortunately in the "I don't love being pregnant" posse. My first pregnancy, I was quite the Debbie downer and really struggled. The struggle is much easier this time, because I have this amazing 2 1/2 year old ball of fun that only serves to remind me every annoyance is worth it times a million.
My MAIN fav right now it celebrating the fact I don't have an anterior placenta again (like the sex, I knew it, and this fact was confirmed at the a/s). IT is a DIFFERENT world. I cannot even begin to describe the difference. At night, my husband I just lay in bed and watch my belly move. Last time, I hadn't even felt anything at this point. I told the tech I was so thankful my first was an anterior and not my second, because I would of been at the doctor every day.
Knowing this COULD be my last pregnancy, and it is over in 4 months, I try to appreciate the specialness of the experience and the kindness of strangers. I also take advantage of my PARD, pregnancy assertive rage disorder that makes me so much better at my job.
I don't necessarily love being pregnant but I do enjoy this part with the little kicks and punches. It's unbelievable to me that there's a "real" baby in there just hanging out until May. I guess I know by now how temporary this is so I want to savor it. It's always awful at the end with the BH, frequent appointments, and overall exhaustion and pain. This is my "golden" time where I'm just excited to plan and dream about my baby- love it!
when this was first posted I couldn't even respond because I couldn't think of anything I was enjoying about being pregnant. Since then I've finally felt her move (anterior placenta) which is just so cool and tonight I looked in the mirror after I showered and realised my skin is damn near flawless. LOVING that as I've had problem skin for years. I'm also loving my belly now that it's popped and I look pregnant not fat! I've had quite a few people tell me pregnancy suits me - it's so nice to hear so while I still don't feel great I'm finding some positives for sure. Just want to meet this little creature now...3.5 months seems so far away!!!
