If I could Give You One Trimester?

Mandy Ellsworth

I asked my husband, "If you could take one trimester from me and give me a break, which one would you take, 1st or 3rd?"  I had a horrible 1st tri, constant morning sickness.  DH said, "I'd take your first, even with being as sick as you were, at least I wouldn't be as uncomfortable as you are now."  I must be laying it on pretty thick, because I can't believe I'm about to say this, 1st tri for me was so much worse than this.

i'd have to agree with you... 1st tri you are tired/sick, etc- but have nothing to really show for it   no belly, no baby kicks, etc.

at least in the 3rd when you are tired and feel like crap you have that awesome belly and kicks to feel- and everyone KNOWS you are pg so anywhere you go people are nicer to you, helpful, etc.

Aw.  They are so cute in their ignorance.  This morning DH was asking me what it was like to carry the baby.  He's like, "I have a little belly that I carry around".  I was like, "Put a sugarbaby watermelon inside that 'little belly' and walk around all day with that thing bouncing up and down on your bladder".  Then he asked if I liked the changes my body went through and if I really enjoyed being pregnant.  I don't mind the changes during pregnancy, it's the changes after that I don't enjoy so much.

Ooo...that's a really good question!  What he doesn't know is that he'd probably be better off taking 3rd tri - at least then you get to feel the babies move.

very telling that you would keep 2nd tri for yourself! (I agree though ... I felt GREAT in my second tri!)
