Love it or not?

I love it.  Never had morning sickness, been a SAHW since 22 weeks pregnant, no complications of any kind so I feel very blessed to have had a perfect pregnancy.  However, I will say that since I hit full term a whole two days ago, every little ache and pain has me going "oh god, is this it?!" lol...it may be a loooong 3 weeks if babe decides to stay in there until my due date.  My midwife doesn't see me going to my due date so this is why I'm constantly looking for signs lol...it's exhausting!!

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. Being pregnant this time around has been a lot more difficult in a lot of ways. I don't get to just kick back and relax when I wanted/needed like I did when pregnant with DS. Having an almost 3 year old to take care of in addition to being huge, exhausted and suffering from back pain, lightning crotch and constant indigestion and heartburn pretty much sucks. It's pretty much solidified my feelings that we're done after 2. That said, I do like feeling her move around, even when it really hurts me, and just knowing that I'm growing a baby is pretty cool.

I'm on the fence, but leaning towards ok with pregnancy.  I'm tired of heartburn and lack of sleep and 3rd trimester morning sickness, but other than that, I've had an easy pregnancy.I only had really bad morning sickness for 3 weeks back in the first tri.  So overall, everything has been uneventful.   Don't absolutely love it, don't absolutely hate it, just live it.

I like it. Not the complications and bed rest part though..

I looooooove my pregnancy, we want this baby. But now im so uncomftable that i really want to have my baby here with me. Im tired, i have contractions since friday and nothing is happening. Exhausted is the correct word. But still love my pregnancy.

This pregnancy has been great-- post 1st tri morning sickness I have had no issues, and I have loved it.  It is not easy chasing a toddler right now, though.  And I have to say, once I hit full term I turn into one impatient Momma.  But overall, this time I have liked being pregnant- there is nothing cooler than feeling a baby move inside you!

I still feel barely pregnant, but I love it for now. Yeah the cracked rib sucked, and the constant worrying isn't great. But I'm good at this point. When I'm *really* pregnant I'll probably think differently.

I am only 26wks (lurking here a bit and officially making my way over next week!) but I really have loved being pregnant. Sure the beginning was a little rough, but I didn't have M/S too bad and it didn't last long at all. Once I got past that (around 12wks or so) I have really felt great.

I would say I verge on one of those hippy mamas who makes some ppl sick by saying I love pregnancy.

I am one of those! LOL I love it I love it I love it! My back hurts and I look like a whale and I am covered in stretch marks but it all feels so good somehow. Besides, I am not working and haven't thrown up once and sex is unbelievable (really gonna miss pregnancy orgasms) so what's not to love?

I love it! I love the way I look, the rest everyone's giving me and the fact that SO and I have created something so beautiful.

I loved every minute of being pregnant with #1. Like you, I miscarried before that pregnancy, so I was very aware of how lucky I was to have every moment of that pregnancy.

I love being pregnant this time, but with a toddler running around it's a lot more difficult and I hate how I can't rough-house and do all the physical play that DS wants to do. ?I've also been miserable the past few weeks with a sickness that turned into pneumonia, so that's been extra difficult. ?So with # 2 I'm still eternally grateful for a healthy pregnancy and love the kicks and belly, but it's not quite as blissful as the first time around.

I loved being pregnant right up until 40 weeks!  I felt relatively good other than the normal aches and pains, my weight gain has been modest, I still look cute in maternity clothes.... but as soon as you hit 40 weeks and 1 day the calls/texts/messages don't stop!  the advice gets stupider and stupider! "My cousin ate plums to start her labor", "try cheesecake and red koolaide (wtf?)" it never ends!!  And you are made to feel like you are doing something wrong although 1st time moms often go overdue.  "you STILL haven't had that baby yet?" Ugh!  AS if there is something I can actually do about it!!!

 Sorry... in a super pissy mood cuz my induction got DELAYED!!!!!!! ARRRGH!

NOT!

Three kids was always the number I had imagined. After this one, I will never be pregnant again and that is so exciting to me. I love the result - it truly is a miracle. I cannot stand the journey. My nausea never goes away the whole 9 months!

you are in my brain....I will be 'over-the-moon' to hold & have my baby! but the journey is tough.  I look forward to delivery day because I know I won't puke the next day or anyday after that!
