Anyone Enjoying Pregnancy?

PalmTreeXmas

Need some encouraging words, I feel like this pregnancy is never going to end!  I'm REALLY uncomfortable and so sick of gaining weight.... absolutley dreading all the upcoming Christmas celebrations with family where I will be forced to talk about it.  I know this sounds bad, would love to hear some positive pregnant women

I honestly love being pregnant! At this point, I'm pretty uncomfortable, but I still love it. It is so amazing to me to feel my son (my son!!) moving around.

Despite some aches and worries and being uncomfortable, I'm truly loving it. I'm going to enjoy the rest of this precious time I have left with the little guy inside of me. Pregnancy is such a miracle to me and I feel thankful every single day that I get to experience it!

I am. ?As much as I feel like a fatty right now, I've also never been more proud of my body. ?I'm sustaining a life (other than my own). ? ?Granted, I'm uncomfortable, I have more gas than a propane tank, and almost none of my shoes fit, but every time I see my belly jiggle from all of her movement, I try to reflect on how special this is. ?I tear up almost every time I look at her ultrasound profile. ?Hang in there! ?

I really loved my first and second trimesters!! They were fun! But now... I feel pretty done.

As far as christmas... just hang in there lady! Chirstmas may suck this year but it is just a few days and if you need to go home early... I think that you are having some back pain

I always look back on 1st tri when I was so sick all the time and miserable and I think that right now I feel so much better than I did back then.  Yes, it's not alway comfortable and I am having severe lower back pain, but I still think it's better than being sick!

I'm LOVING pregnancy! I didn't have any morning sickness or any of the other symptoms...just a growing belly pretty much. I'm getting a bit uncomfy through sleep, but it's not terrible...yet! haha. I'm sorry you are having a rough time, hang in there!!

Well, I may be in the minority but I have enjoyed every moment of this pregnancy. Surprisingly, I'm not that uncomfortable or sore- it's been a surprisingly easy journey for me. I should add though, that I've gained about 45 lbs. (was normal pre-pregnancy) and while I'm not thrilled about it, I'm not stressed about it or going to let it ruin my holidays! I feel like this is the one time in my life when I *can* indulge and not be stressed about dieting, etc etc. So, what exactly are you dreading talking about? The weight gain or the pregnancy in general?

I am very much enjoying being pregnant. 

Trust me that 5 months of m/s, GD, swollen feet, etc etc are so much easier and enjoyable than 3 m/c.

I felt that way around that time. Honestly the only thing that has gotten me this far was I keep thinking, "This will not kill me. It has to end someday, and on that day I will have my baby."

Thanks!  I'm glad I'm not alone, and don't get me wrong, I can't wait to meet my little blessing

 I am dreading talking about how I'm feeling about the pregnancy, I don't want to lie and say I love it and it's great but I don't want to tell them how I am really feeling either.  My family is pretty judgemental about weight gain, my cousin just had an 8 lb baby a couple of month's ago and she only gained a TOTAL of 15, so everyone always says "you're HUGE" when they see me!  (I've gained 30 lbs so far..)

I am completely loving being pregnant. Just think, you have a life growing insdie of you! Sure, it has it's shi**y moments, but doesn't everything in life? I love it and I'm going to miss it when it's over.

I wouldn't say I love it.... but I have enjoyed it!  I've had a text book pregnancy this far, and its been really easy.  So I've enjoyed it for the most part!

Don't get my wrong, I have my bad days where I feel huge and uncomfortable.  But being pregnant is an amazing thing and I've learned so much about myself and my body.

I've enjoyed it... Sure I am starting to feel like it's harder to do some of the things that I normally do, and sleeping is starting to get uncomfortable at times, but all in all I have been very blessed to not have any other bad symptoms or complications.

I probably did not enjoy being pregnant until I was well into my 2nd tri.  Now I have no issues with it.  Plus, everyone seems to love a pregnant woman when you go out so it's nice to get special treatment!  Then my hubby does so much more for me now then he ever used to.  He doesn't think in my "delicate" state I should be doing certain things.  It gets annoying but it's nice.

Hmmm, I really really enjoyed it up until a few days ago. I loved the feeling of LO rolling about inside my belly. I'm going to miss that so so much. I wish I could just keep him safe inside there forever. However, once he hit about 7 lbs my body just kinda freaked. I feel like a huge whale and have all these aches and pains that I just didn't have before.

I don't know if "enjoying" is the right word, but I think I have had it really easy.  Even though I was nauseous a lot, I only actually threw up twice in my 1st tri, had a really easy and uneventful 2nd tri, and my 3rd tri, while slightly more eventful, is going great.  I recently got a diagnosis of GD, but am thankfully diet-controlled and no meds at this point.  If testing my blood sugar four times a day is the hardest thing I have to do before labor, then I consider myself really lucky to have had the pregnancy I've had -- and at my age, too (38, first baby)!  I love feeling the baby move around in there, even when he kicks me in the ribs!  I'm scared for the future, but excited, too.  What an amazing time....

It took us 4 years, 3 doctors, hundreds of needles and dozens of procedures to get pregnant, so yep - I am enjoying every, single, day.

I am swollen and huge; I have carpal tunnel syndrome and I snore... but I'm growing a human!  I can feel his little feet and butt and hands and head - it's just amazing.  Try to keep the end goal in mind - and know that lots of women would gladly trade places with you in a heartbeat.

GL - you're getting close!

I really appreciate this post. It really makes me appreciate being pregnant and everyday I have with this little boy inside of me!

P.S. You are incredible!

I love it. Seriously, there are some uncomfortable things about it, but I don't let it ruin my attitude.

It will be over soon and your LO will be here!

I am not too uncomfortable yet(just not sleeping well), so I am enjoying pregnancy.  Once I got past m/s and fatigue in first tri, I really have nothing to complain about.  Every time baby kicks me or moves around, I am amazed that she's actually growing inside me.  OK, I'm kind of tearing up now!  Must be the hormones.

Most days I enjoy it. I mean, there are things that suck (heartburn, swelling, weight gain, blah blah blah), but there are some fabulous parts too. And I hear it doesn't last forever.

I LOVED it with my first, I had a perfect pg, no pain/discomfort or anything until labor.  I was actually disappointed the day I went into labor because he was early and I wanted to spend my last 2 weeks being pg.  This time I've been "done" for a while.  I'm having a c/s on Thursday and it can't come fast enough.  DH and I were trying to induce labor for a while and nothing worked.

I've actually really enjoyed it...up until the last week or so.

I've had a wonderfully easy pregnancy with very, very little to complain about. Sure, I've been uncomfortable for months, I miss non-pregnant sex, and my ankles are the size of my thighs, but LO is healthy and I'm still able to do most everything that I've always done.

But since I hit 39 weeks, I'm pretty much over it. Sciatica set in a few nights ago, and there are times that I can hardly walk--it took me 5 minutes to hobble to the bathroom the other night due to the pain. That and I'm just getting downright impatient...but that's a given this late in the game! The first 38 weeks were great, though.

I would say that I'm someone who neither LOVES it nor dislikes it. I think it's really cool to feel my baby moving inside of me. I kind of like my bump - it's fun and finally people are starting to notice. I've also observed that people are generally incredibly nice to pregnant women, which is a nice perk. Another thought - I have a couple of good friends who are unable to have children, and when I think of their pain, I truly feel so lucky that I get to have a baby in 10 short weeks...something they would give anything for. I guess when I think of that, it makes all the discomfort, weight gain, nervousness, and uncertainty seem so worth it.

I've loved my pregnancy so far - I haven't had too many issues (not much bloating even) and I feel active and fit. I loved all the pampering at first, but now that I am so obviously pregnant, people do tend to be a little overly solicitous; but that's not something to crib about!

Can't wait to hold my baby, but I can deal with this for a few more weeks :-)
