Did you like being PG?

Just gauging people's opinion.[Poll]

Despite m/s, sleeplessness, food adversions, carpel tunnel, sciatic nerve pain, etc I have loved being PG.

The only things I don't like are not being able to drink alcohol and the wretched heartburn.  Otherwise, I really do love it.  But I have also had VERY easy pregnancies.

I absolutely LOVED being pg! It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. I only had a little nausea the first tri but over all it was precious!

LondonBridges

I was so incredibly lucky, and the only real pregnancy symptom I had was the extreme exhaustion in the first trimester.  Other than that, I have never felt better in my life!  I loved being pregnant.

I loved every moment of it until I was put on bedrest. I hope next time I can skip that entirely.

Special Snowflake here .  I had a lot of complications and a difficult pregnancy which was not fun but there are things that I absolutely loved about being pregnant.  I loved feeling him kick and move around and those moments made all my complications worth it.

I loved being pregnant as well. I can't wait to have that feeling again. It is such an amazing gift to be that close with your baby that only YOU can experience.  It's so special being a mommy!

Being pregnant overwhelmed me beyond belief. The hormones, finding out I had T2 diabetes, thryroid disorder & panic disorder and being pregnant are not a good combination. I wish I could of had an easy pregnancy.

I can't wait to have another baby but I really do not want to be pregnant again.

IckyThump

Yay! I finally get to be a special snowflake!

For the most part, yes, I liked being pregnant. But, at about 34 weeks my typical pregnancy swelling became massive edema and I was miserable for the next 4 1/2 weeks. I honestly cried a lot because it was so difficult to move, get comfortable or even hold a writing implement or fork. It was awful and I pray I don't have the same issue with #2.

Me too!

I don't really like being pregnant, but I don't altogether hate it either.  To me it's a means to an end (a very happy and wonderful end)

inbetweendreams

I loved, loved, loved it--all 41 weeks!

southernbelle82

I did not/do not like it during the nausea period.  Last time that was until 18 wks.  This time I'm praying it's not as long.

MrsVictoriaB

I liked it sometimes! I had horrible m/s then was put on bedrest at 27 weeks, so all the inbetween was great

msabol2077

At the time, I just wanted to have my baby, but looking back now, I miss being pregnant.

userdeleted

NO. I hate(d) it.

bim38106

With #1, LOVED it!

#2... was ok at first, definitely didn't enjoy it. By the end, I hated it.

For the most part, my pregnancy was easy until my bp started to get out of control at 35 weeks. Even then, I wasn't bothered by the pregnancy, just all extra office visits, trips to hospital, etc.

Fordlor

Nope, not at all.  I had two weeks of feeling well.  The rest sucked big donkey balls.  Yet, here I am six DPO and waiting to POAS this Thursday or Friday.

 

KeepingItLowKey

Nope... and I'm not looking forward to this time around either!

But with my first pregnancy, I was getting up for work at 1:00am every morning, even when I went past my due date... I worked a full day on the day I delivered.

I no longer work those hours, nor will I be pregnant all summer so maybe this will be a little better.?

My first pregnancy was awesome and I loved it. So much so that I wanted to go late (he came at 37w instead).

My second pregnancy was very difficult and I hated it from the start. Talk about every pregnancy being different!! 

TMs1stBaby

Loved being pregnant the first time.  Did not love it the second time.  This time I am sort of ambivalent about it. 

nbjenni

If I'd not had severe nausea/heartburn/hormones, PUPPS, sciatica, PPROM, rescue cerclage, twins and 5 months of bedrest, I think would have loved it

PhilsWife07

I like being pregnant, but pregnancy doesn't like me! My pregnancy was basically 9 months of torture. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that history doesn't repeat itself with the second baby!

lite-bright

I liked it better the first time, when I wasn't chasing after a toddler, I basically worked in front of a computer all day, and I could nap whenever I wanted to. I also got over my m/s much faster the first time. 

This time, even though I'm not working, being pregnant/sick/easily out of breath, etc. interferes with my normal life a lot more.  

littleittybitty

No. Even though I had a very easy and healthy nine months, the weight gain, the aches and pain, the rib kicking, the bladder stomping was and is still not appealing... I am very certain I will not be having another baby any time soon. I really did not enjoy it one bit.

MrsJuneHawk

I liked some aspects of being pregnant but hated others.

Mrs.tlcS

First time, I was miserable the entire time. This time, it's not so bad I now understand (and believe) the women who claim to be happy being pregnant.

KristinKD

I love being pregnant. Fortunately the first trimester is the shortest one, and therefore easy to forget.

Special Snowflake here:

My first pregnancy was great. Besides developing GD I loved it and was excited to do it again. But DS was born with a bleeding disorder that the doctors determined to be my body's fault so I'd have to be very careful the next time I had a baby.

With the second one,  from 20 weeks on, I was hooked up to an IV every Friday for 8 hours each time. I also had to have a amniocentesis (except to take cord blood) done to make sure the medication was working. During the amnio, I started having a panic attack and started contracting. I was only 22 weeks when it was done. Even though none of this was fun. I got to see my baby girl at least once a month while I was pregnant and I LOVED feeling her move inside me. And even though it did get rough being hooked up to an IV, I just had to think of what the end result would be.

Now that I can't have any more kids, I just have to think back to the positive feelings of being pregnant. While I would have like at least one more baby, I feel good knowing that I have two healthy children. Having another one wouldn't be worth the risk of what I went through with Rory.

fIowerchild

Yay!  I got to be a SS this time!

I HATED being pregnant the first time (sick, sick and more sick. Oh, and tired).  I love being PG this time.  Not sick at all and tons of energy.

Like they say, every pregnancy is different!  And I'm having another boy so the old wives tale is out the window.

ChelseaBelle

Love(d) the outcome... HATE(D) the process!! This is our second and last baby

earthboundmisfit

I'm in the middle..I did love the kicks and stuff but I HATED the attention..loathed it. I'm a mostly private person and I hated people constantly trying to touch me or ask me how I feel [every day, sometimes more than once] and the constant questions. I know some people love it but I really do not. I also had severe pubic pain for the last month..I couldn't move without pain. I'm excited to have another baby but I'm hoping [in vain I think] that I don't have the same pubic pain. I'd rather have m/s for 12 weeks than deal with that pain again =/
