OK girls... answer honestly...

Who actually likes being pg?

Not me! I'm in this for the end result! I thought I'd enjoy it once I felt her moving around, but for me, her kicks are really uncomfortable, and she's just getting started! I realize I'm only a little over half way done, so things could improve, and I'd like to assume that when it's over I'll miss feeling her inside of me, but at this point, not so much. 

I love that I'm pg and will get my baby out of the deal, but as far as the actual pregnancy, I'm really not having much fun.

So far...not so much. But I do like people being so excited about my baby

So far it doesn't bother me.....but check back in about 20 weeks.

I am one of those who LOVE being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, there are things about pregnancy that I don't like, but I these days, I really find myself sad that I will never experience this again. I will truly miss being pregnant. I felt the same way after I had my daughter, but after this one, we are done.

It changes daily for me.  I honestly can't wait to have my old body back and not look so pregnant.  As I head toward the end, I get annoyed with all the comments about how huge I am.  It's like people have never seen a pg lady before.

On days when I am tired or extra sore or uncomfortable, it is harder.  But I do love feeling her move. even though sometimes my belly gets sore.  And DH is great to remind me not to feel bad that I can't do as much these days (heavy lifting, etc) since my body is busy gestating. 

Oh, and I cannot wait to sleep on my back and stomach again.

So far, I love it!  Sure it has it's tough moments, but it's so worth it.  I love the kicks, I feel like our little bean is communicating with me and DH now.  He/she loves to kick DH right before we go to sleep.  It's so special.

I hated my first tri (I actually found myself cursing "supid baby" and felt terribly guilty.)  

Now, I like it and feel awesome.  I hit 2nd tri and feel better than I did pre-pregnancy.

Who knows how long that will last!

ceramsey

I have to say that I absolutely love being pregnant! I certainly have days (more recently) that my back hurts and I can't sleep, or I don't like the way I look in pictures, but I love my belly and knowing that I am growing this baby!

MrsGhappilyeverafter

I honestly love it.  I love having a baby bump, I love feeling the baby squirm around and make my belly move, I love seeing DH get excited watching my bump grow, I love when DH feels a kick and I see that teary excited look in his eye.  I didn't enjoy my pregnancy when I was feeling hungover everyday in the 1st tri or when I have have terrible migraines, but I didn't mind because I knew it was worth it.  I'm sure I'll miss being pregnant, but I know we want more kids so I think I'll get to experience it again.

I loved being pregnant up until about a month ago . . . now it's getting a bit old, but that's ok, it's worth it.

MrsPatterson

It changes by the minute.  One minute I'm miserable and uncomfortable, the next minute I'm completely in love with being pg.  I know I'm going to miss this LO moving around inside me, even if it does get uncomfortable sometimes.  I'm worried about having to take care of other kids and being pg at the same time, though - I don't know how I will handle that!  This is number one for us, and we want 3 or 4, so we'll see what happens.

superaunt

completely honest... I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed weeks 20-26. I felt awesome and I was just absolutely in love with being pregnant.  Prior to those weeks I was miserable and just not enjoying it because of feeling either physically unwell or unattached.  This past week has been rough again for me - lots of new aches and pains.  I'm SO grateful to be here but I just want to be a mom already, you know?

sawyer918

I am going to sound awful for this but I really don't like being pg so far.  Maybe in like 5 more weeks when I am out of 1st Tri. I will like it a bit more, but right now I really don't.  My DH and I agreed to only have 2 kids, so I am super excited that I may have both of them in one pregnancy and get it out of the way.  I don't like being scared all the time.

Physically, pregnancy is great for me. I have felt really good the whole time and had very few of the normal unpleasant pregnancy "side effects." 

Emotionally and psychologically, it's been hard to enjoy, because I have spent so much time worrying. It's kind of a bummer because I should really be loving it considering how well I am doing. 

ashley0616

I'm one of those women all other pregnant women hate because I honestly LOVE being pregnant. I love the way I look, the way I feel, the way the baby feels inside me, all of it. I didn't love m/s, and I don't love SI pain, but I love the act of being pregnant. It makes no sense, I know. I've been very lucky.

Like I said, I'm in this for the end result!

I remember being on TTCAL and thinking that anyone who'd complain about being pg was crazy, because at least their pg! But, I still say, if I could just have the baby and not the pg, I'd probably do that for the rest of my kids! 

mindingpandq

I love it. Being pregnant is truly a miracle and I am thankful every single day. I am actually starting to get sad knowing I won't be pregnant much longer.

BrainySmurfette

I'm in m/s hell, so not a good day for this.  I've been sick 3 times so far today.  Once I get to the good part--no m/s and moving baby--I'll like it OK. 

Maybe my dr's nurse will call me back with some magic anti-nausea meds, though.

RJHarmon

I barfed for almost 7 months...and still now on occasion.  I started swelling at 17 weeks.  I am getting more and more uncomfortable by the minute. 

However, feeling her move inside me and being this close to my baby is the most amazing experience in the world.  For that, I LOVE being pregnant and I wouldn't change it for a second :-)

Eviebee

Right now, there are days that are so so and days that are so hard to get through with m/s and DD.  When I look back at being pg with DD I must have mommy amnesia b/c I think I loved it even though I was sicker.  2nd trimester I know I loved, I had a cute belly and didn't feel sick or as tired any more, but I also remember towards the end I had to keep an arm on my ribs pushing her down so I could breath, it felt like her toes were pushing my ribs out and it was really uncomfortable.  When I remember that I feel claustrophobic.  But the end result is so worth it and we are amazing to go through at this for them.  Just keep reminding yourself why.

mristine6

I'm not loving it yet because I'm worried a lot! I think it would be different if I could just enjoy it and not be paranoid about every little thing.

Useonfire

Me me me! Seriously, I think it's the greatest thing I've ever done.  I feel really fantastic, full of life, and I'm truly not very uncomfortable.  I was during weeks 36-38 a bit (maybe 50% of the time) but actually I feel much better now. Maybe it's because I know the end is in sight But seriously, I cannot wait to do it again (well, ask me again after he's born) and anyone around me knows I've almost literally never complained the entire pregnancy.  Ok, I had a minor freak out when I thought I was getting stretchies on my stomach last week (seriously seemed unfair to get them so late in the game) but I have kept them at bay mostly so I think what's there will fade in a few months.

irishbaby0708

So far i honeslty love it!  I feel great and I love feeling my LO move around and love my Bump.  Some time i love it so much becasue it took me so long to get here.  I really thought i would hate it and miss so many things but, so far I have loved every minute of it acept for the MS and the constant worry that i could have done without.  I know i'm going to miss being pg once he's here and i hope it doesn't take me as long next time. 

ENev

I'm one of those who absolutely loves being pregnant. I've just loved it.

Even now, a day away from my due date and SO impatient to meet this boy, I still love it. I love the belly, I love the anticipation, I love feeling him move around - I'll really miss that part. 

 

esquiremomma

I will happily join the love fest! Pregnancy has been amazing for me. Yes I puked and was nauseated for 3 months straight but truthfully I was happy about even that b/c I knew the pregnancy was going to survive!! It was reassuring.

I LOVE feeling the baby move and having her with me morning, afternoon and evening. I also love my belly and my body. There was that weird period in the middle of the pregnancy when I looked like I had just eaten a few too many twinkies, but then once the bump formed it was awesome. I also LOVE the special attention I get from both male and female strangers. Women open up doors for me and are always complimenting me. Don't know about you but women are normally never this nice to me so it's a great change! I will definitely miss getting treated like a queen by random strangers! DH is also highly protective of me while I've been PG and that has been so sweet and endearing.

Overall - LOVE LOVE LOVE! (Keep in mind I have not experienced the labor part yet!

mrs.viv07

honestly?...i LOVE being pregnant, yes the shots suck and all the other symptoms but i love knowing and feeling him move around and knowing that he is growing with my help. I told MH that i wasn't going back on BC after monkey is born and he is fine with it as long as i don't "give him 19 kids" lol

mrs.amandamm

I love it!  My first pregnancy was way more comfortable and I felt better than this time... but I still love it

coolteacher79

I really, really enjoy it. Physically, my body just does pregnancy really well. I don't really get sick (just had a week or two of "seasickness"), don't feel too uncomfortable.Had a short stint with insomnia, but that's over. I don't know if keeping up with my exercise has something to do with it or not, but I guess it does help.

I also am coming from a place where the only time I knew I had with Isaac was while I was pregnant with him. So things that some my find annoying about being pregnant, I learned to cherrish. When I couldn't sleep, I would get up and read him a story. When I woke up early, I would go downstairs and play him music while writing him a letter. I suppose a lot of it is all a matter of perspective.

And yes, once you're not pregnant anymore, you'll very likely miss feeling the kicks and wiggles. I know I did.

get_over_yourself

I love being pregnant. I enjoyed every minute of it with dd, until her due date, by then I was done- she was 9 days late. I did not enjoy those last 9 days. This time my first tri was a little rough but I am still loving it, especially now

mybobble

I do! I haven't had any complaints (other than acid reflux) so that could be why. I've been very lucky to have had a wonderful pregnancy!

I have 5 wks left and still feel great!

DSU98

I love being pg, I can not wait till I get the big belly and feel the movements.  I look forward to it everyday!

nferrante

Honestly...I love being pregnant! I missed not being pregnant after having DD and I forgot what it was like.  But now that I'm pregnant...I still love it! There are some things I DON"T like...but It's SO worth it in the end!
