How much are you REALLY enjoying your pregnancy?

[Poll]

I have had a wonderful pregnancy, though it's my first so i don't have anything to compare it to!! My OB is surprised every appointment when i have no complaints!

terrahill09 · February 2010

Since I got over M/S at 20 weeks, I havent had any complaints. It's pretty much been smooth sailing. I'm uncomfortable a lot nowadays but the baby is worth it! And I only have 10 days left!

KristinKD · February 2010

Overall, I love being pregnant. I don't love the all-day nausea of the first trimester, or the sleeplessness and back pain, but if that's the worst I can complain about, I think I have it pretty easy.

Being pregnant feels fine physically. Lots of aches and pains, but the reward is so worth it! Mentally, however, I've been through the ringer since we found out I was high risk. Some days I don't know how I make it, worrying about LO so much.

I really don't enjoy this at all. I'm really excited about my LO coming but I would really not like to do this again, and I really haven't had a bad pregnancy. Slight m/s in the beginning but other than that nothing has really been bad. I just don't feel like myself and it's not a "good" not like myself. I also HATE everyone and their unsolicited advice and sh!tty comments. I really sound Bah Humbug.

This not something that I would want to experience more than twice (if that) but I am just so happy to finally be pregnant and have a chance to have a child that I try to concentrate fully on that. It is hard to complain about something that I so desperately wanted and tried for. It just doesn't seem right.

I do however miss my size two pants and stilettos.

This is me as well.

I have not enjoyed it what so ever. I am really excited to meet my little girl, but I hate being pregnant. I hated it the first time around, although I had a much easier pregnancy last time. I still throw up every. single. day. even with the zofran, which makes me constipated. I have migraines now, bad ones that make my whole left side go numb. I can't sleep for more than an hour at a time. They keep coming up with things that might be wrong with LO and extra testing and sonograms that must be done. I have anxiety issues to begin with and all of the things I have mentioned have hieghtend that x 100.

I love being a mother more than anything in this world. My son is my greatest joy, my husband is amazingly supportive, and Im sure that my daughter will mean just as much to me. Its just the pregnancy part I dont enjoy. Nothing about it has been fun for me.

It was exciting the first time or two. I'm done now. This one was way worse. It's like having the class from hell on the year of retirement.

I just HAD to ask the question. This pregnancy has been one of the worst experiences thus far...I feel really bad to admit that I just want DD out of me in the worst way. Don't get me wrong I wanted to have a family and love her to bits inside of me already and I do want her to bake as long as she needs and come out completely healthy...but I am NOT enjoying pregnancy. I have had terrible acid reflux, sickness, headaches, extreme siatic nerve pain and now pain throughout my lower back (narrow hips) soooo bad I find it hard to be in one position for more than 10 min or even walk. Im extremely frustrated that I am not even 30 weeks and feel like this process is never ending! Granted I don't know what holding my baby in my arms will feel like and Im SURE it will be all worth it in the end. Just having a lot of rough days on the journey....

Thanks for commenting though ladies! I wish you all the best in your pregnancies! )))

I enjoyed 1st tri, loved 2nd tri but this week has been tiring and lots of soreness. =(

RadicalDreamer143 · February 2010

I think I'd be enjoying pregnancy much more if not for the acid. I can't sleep, at all. Zantac 150 is working fine during the day, but does absolutely nothing at night. I now wake up to 1) pee, 2) turn over (which is always painful), and 3) to take more Tums, or frantically prevent myself from choking on bile. I took 8 Tums last night, and think I need to call my OB and find another solution.

Don't get me wrong - there are certain things I am very grateful for. I can even deal with the constant back pain, frequent headaches, and kicks to the ribs. However, this is a very busy time at work (giving me crazy deadlines is so not cool), and the fact that I can't relax, at ALL, at home is killing me.

IrishBrideND · February 2010

I'm neutral on it, too. I'm not head over heals excited and loving it, but I really haven't had any issues to deal with either.

Jennicap · February 2010

I've had a wonderful pregnancy so far, I truely can't really complain. 1st tri I was nausous but only threw up once (4 times the entire pregnancy so far) and it was prenatal related. 2nd tri was wonderful and amazing, I loved being able to feel the baby when it started, I'll never forget the first kick DH felt! 3rd tri, the aches and pains are starting but if I keep up my walking and yoga and taking hot soaks every few days it seems to subside. I went to the chiropractor and had two adjustments and they seem to really have done the trick, the bad is just a little sore if I sit hunched for too long so i'm making an effort to not do that. That's it my worst complaint, I am loving being pregnant!
