Re: Clicky Poll For Fun: Enjoying Pregnancy?
When I was pg with dd, the first half was a horrible experience (bad m/s, weight loss, and just felt horrible). But the 2nd half was great - I felt great, and loved getting bigger!
This pg has been similiar - in the m/s dept - but I have a better outlook this time - it can't last forever, and I'm hoping that I'll turn the corner at 20 weeks - just like last time! ! !
I reeeally really love beeing pregnant. I'm a lucky person who has almost no symptoms ( exept for getting emotional and cravings) and my DH + whole family treats me like I'm the Queen of England. For now--> pretty cool
EDIT: please don't hate me ...
At 9 weeks I was hospitalized because of suspected gall bladder issues and had a battery of tests, endoscopy, morphine and a couple other drugs I was not happy about with the endo and ended up being okay from that, but no one would do anything about the pregnancy. My doctor said, 'at this stage, whatever happens, happens' when I asked about an OB consult.
Less than a week later I was back in the hospital with an acute infection in my knee having to have emergency knee surgery and IV antibiotics for 6 weeks. I have to be on oral antibiotics for the remainder of the pregnancy.
Now that I am healing from all that, I am starting to enjoy the idea of pregnancy. I am not showing or feeling movement yet, but our big US is a week from today, so we're getting excited. The pregnancy has been more fear filled than anything...
I was going to pick three...bc yes...i dont see the positives of any of the things i listed.....but then when i thought about it...It could be worse.
My answer was #2 because the first trimester was a bit difficult for me with MS and feeling extremely tired. There were weekends when I literally didn't get out of bed (except for the bathroom and food). The house was a mess for about 7 or 8 weeks.
Now, I'm feeling so much better. I feel back to normal and my energy level is back and I actually have clean house now. Now that everything is back to normal I may look back and think I really loved being pg but now the memories for 1st trimester are to fresh.

I said this also. Not b/c of the pregnancy, but b/c of the delivery of dd. I had a tough time and here I am again. After you hold your baby and have a few months to forget it, you are ready to do it again:)
I'm in agreement with this. What bugs me are the people who are all gushy, gushy, "OOOOOOhhhh, I looooooved being pregnant. Oh, I'm so jealous, I wish I was pregnant right nooooooowwww!" WTF?! What are you smoking and can I have some please? Oh wait...I'm pg, nevermind.
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
THIS!!!!
It has some really wonderful aspects and some really awful ones.
The last few weeks have been pretty fun, but I'm starting to have trouble sleeping at night and things are just generally getting less comfy. I suppose that means 3rd tri is right around the corner...
I always said I loved being pregnant with DD, but going through it a second time reminded me how much the first trimester sucks! Overall, I do love being pregnant, but the first couple months for me are definitely "could be better, could be worse." I'm happy to be out of it now, and hopefully I'll love this pregnancy as much as my first!
none of the above. Its not the GREATEST THING EVER but its not bad at all for me, either. But the middle option makes it seem like there have been some negatives and for me there haven't been (other than missing beer).
I've been lucky.
I absolutely love being pregnant. What bugs me is the people who constantly b!tch about being pregnant. M/S, heartburn, back aches, nose bleeds, blah blah blah. . .It's called being pregnant, what did you expect??
