GTKY: How's it been so far?

Since we're all either halfway or almost halfway, I'm curious. How has your pregnancy experience been? I know we're all super grateful for our little ones and wouldn't change a thing... but let's get real.
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience?
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy?
3. What has been the worst part?
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time?

Re: GTKY: How's it been so far?
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I love being pregnant, its been pretty easy (except the awful morning sickness in the beginning) it was easy with my first too. I hate heartburn but oh well.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Just got to see our baby today (on my birthday!) so that was nice. Also feeling the baby move is always neat.
3. What has been the worst part? being tired.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I think everyone is anxious to have the baby here but I'm enjoying my time right now.
My pregnancy has been horrible. I have hyper-emesis and am on 24 hour anti-nausea meds. I will probably be on them until week 25. Gross.
Best part is this baby is bringing some great news and positive focus for both of our families. Everyone is too excited!!
See #1 LoL
I can't wait for him to come! I am nervous and excited! It took us 4 years and some help to get this far, and I am just busting to see his little face!!!

1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I would say that I've had a relatively easy pregnancy so far, so I guess I've "loved" my experience.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? How in love DH is with my belly :-)
3. What has been the worst part? Not sleeping well. Being out of breath often.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I'm enjoying where I'm at. I am glad I'm not due in a month. This heat would be killer to be 8 mnths pregnant in.
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I'd have to say bitter sweet. There have definitely been many ups and downs to it, but it's definitely getting better as I go I think.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Just knowing that there's a baby in there has been the best part. I love getting to feel the little kicks because it just reassures me that he is most definitely there.
3. What has been the worst part? The morning sickness and knowing that I may be having to do some of this on my own at certain points.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? Kinda wish he would come quicker but there are other days where I really wish things would slow down a bit so I can be more prepared.
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience?
I love being pregnant.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy?
Now, because I feel better than I have felt in months and I'm starting to show.
3. What has been the worst part?
First tri because of all the worry about miscarrying or something going wrong. I never had m/s, but I realize now how crummy I felt up until a couple of weeks ago... so tired and cranky.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time?
I'm just ready for my a/s (two more weeks!), then I can plan and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy.
DD 8/28/2014
DD 5/24/2016, stillborn at 40 weeks
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I've also had it pretty easy for the most part. There's definitely been ups and downs though.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Starting to feel my LO move around.
3. What has been the worst part? The weight gain in all places, my patience with the heat is minimal, the "don't" list of pregnancy.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I go back and forth with this. On one hand, I can't believe how fast time is flying and, the other, I am like OMG I only have 20ish weeks left. Where is the pause button?! lol
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? loved. the only real symptoms I have experienced are exhaustion and crazy boobs. No sickness at all.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Finally looking the part
3. What has been the worst part? Finally looking the parts lol
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? Enjoying every second
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? It's been bittersweet, I love being pregnant but am worried about having enough time for DD and the new LO
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Other than the A/S worries, right now I'm feeling good otherwise and enjoying my belly getting bigger and LO moving
3. What has been the worst part? Worries about LO not growing correctly, and morning sickness was far worse this time!
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I'm enjoying where I'm at right now, I wish time would go slower!
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I won't say I hate being pregnant, but I don't enjoy it either.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Feeling baby moving, seeing her and dreaming about her.
3. What has been the worst part? The worry, being sick, and tired, and fat.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? Even though I'm beginning to enjoy this pregnancy more, and it is moving way faster than my first, I wish it would go even faster!
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? So far I have absolutely loved being pregnant. I was lucky not to have any morning sickness, and other than being a bit tired I can't complain.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? I've been showing for a while now but really popped about a week ago. Since then, my hubby likes to rub my belly and kiss it and say hi to our little man. It makes me smile every time
3. What has been the worst part? Trying to find things to wear.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I haven't felt the baby move yet so I wish time would go fast until then. Otherwise, I'm enjoying each day.
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? Bittersweet for sure. I've loved my pregnancy but because of IF and a previous m/c I worry about EVERYTHING. I cannot just relax and enjoy it.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Missing morning sickness and seeing my belly grow.
3. What has been the worst part? Developing an SCH around 10 weeks and having to rush to the ER.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I wish it was December and the girls would be here. I don't want them to come one day earlier than December 5th (at the earliest).
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience?
I've really enjoyed it so far. I've had a relatively easy pregnancy. I think the body changing is hard (but I love the bump).
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? That we get a baby in 4.5 months.
3. What has been the worst part? Heartburn in the first part (gone now thanks to prilosec). Being out of breath!!
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I have loved it all and cannot wait for the baby! I think I could be ready by October or november.
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I have absolutely loved it!
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Starting to feel movement, and the fact that my husband is so excited!
3. What has been the worst part? My hips hurt, and I'm still pretty tired.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I'm enjoying where I'm at, I know once we find out the gender time will really start to fly.. and December really isn't that far away!
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience?
I guess I'd say "loved" the experience so far b/c I fully expected to be really sick (I get naseous REALLY easily) but I haven't felt any different than I normally do, except for the fatigue.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy?
Seeing the baby during the ultrasounds and hearing his HB, being able to connect better now w/friends who already have babies
3. What has been the worst part?
Constantly worrying if he is ok in there, if I'm eating healthy enough, etc. Also spending $$ on maternity clothes
I need nice clothes for work (I wear a suit everyday) so I feel like all I do right now is spend $$
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time
I would like him to come quicker so that I can assure myself that there's really a baby in there and he is ok! Also it would be nice to bypass the stage where I get huge
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I think it's been bittersweet. I really haven't enjoyed being pregnant. I'm sick (still!), tired, uncomfortable, and generally unhappy. But it took 7 years of marriage and IF treatments to get to this point, so I'm constantly reminding myself to look on the positive side. Plus, I'm already in love with my little one.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Watching my husband fall in love with a little boy he hasn't even met yet. And (if tmi, sorry), he's totally enamored with my pregnancy body, so there's that.
3. What has been the worst part? The constant nausea and lack of any control over making myself feel better physically.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I'm not ready to be a SAHM (we move overseas 3 months after I give birth, so the decision isn't entirely my own) and I'm not ready be up all night with a crying baby yet, but I AM ready to not be pregnant anymore. I guess I'm happy to be right where I am for now.
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I am not quite sure, it's been pretty easy so far. No MS in the first tri, average weight gain (i think), but i think the jury is still out if i love it. I am sure i will look back on this time with good memories though.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Getting a little extra attention, not feeling too guilty about things i wouldnt eat if i wasnt pregnant, seeing how happy my husband it.
3. What has been the worst part? The horrid back pain a was getting, my mood swings i have been feeling very recently, the extra worrying i have been doing, hmmmm that might be it.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I am enjoying where i am at. I am not too big or too uncomfortable yet. But i look pregnant enough that people say sweet things to me. Some days i cant wait for the baby, but i am not ready at ALL right now so i am pretty content!
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? This is our last kiddo, so we are both trying to enjoy it as much as possible
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Feeling LO move
3. What has been the worst part? Having a near-miscarriage on Mother's Day
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? I'm pretty good...slightly in shock that we have 23 weeks left....
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? I have enjoyed this pregnancy, but am curious how I feel when I go back to work in 4 weeks and have my son to take care of when I get home instead of being able to sit on the couch.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Feeling LO move recently, watching the belly get bigger and being able to stay healthy and run so far.
3. What has been the worst part? The exhaustion and nausea especially having a 12 month old to run after.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? Enjoying where I am for now. With this being my second I feel like I know what to expect but wonder if it will be the same or different.
Since we're all either halfway or almost halfway, I'm curious. How has your pregnancy experience been? I know we're all super grateful for our little ones and wouldn't change a thing... but let's get real.
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience? Love it so far!
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy? Feeling LO move and having this special bond with LO that nobody else will ever have.
3. What has been the worst part? Morning sickness and the Zofran constipation
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time? Enjoying where I am at. I feel more confident now that we have some more big ticket items bought.
Breastfeeding and pregnant!
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience?
Overall, I've loved it, but I must say, during allergy I wasn't a fan. It was so hard being completly miserable every day because I couldn't take medicine and the lack of sleep was kiiiilling me! Now that the season is almost over I'm a MUCH happier person!
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy?
Feeling the little guy wiggle around! He's a mover and a shaker just like his parents, I feel him on and off all day long now! Seeing my husbands face when he felt him for the first time on Tuesday was a moment I'll never forget....it was priceless.
3. What has been the worst part?
All the bills! Arg...it's hard to keep up with! Who knew such a little guy could cost so much!
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time?
I'm perfectly happy right where I'm at. I need the extra time I've got to get his room ready and wrap my head around the fact that he's coming, but I can't wait for him to get here! Being a Mommy is going to be a blast....I can't wait to officially call myself a "Soccer Mom" Hell yes...
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience?
I have been sooo blessed with a great, pretty easy pregnancy so far. I had some bad days of nausea, but no vomiting or any other tough side effects other than the usual, which I can deal with. I really think my body loves being pregnant and I love it too. I feel amazed every day about what is happening and how my body is creating and supporting a little life.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy?
I love my bump and feeling like I'm a bouncy house sometimes! Nugget is quite active and is always an instant mood booster. I love this little one so much already and I cannot wait to be a mother. I also love that my husband is so enamored with my body and bump and love when he talks to Nugget. He's said I love you already! *tear*
3. What has been the worst part?
I worry sometimes that something hasn't developed right as well as not gaining as much weight as I should (never even dreamed that would be a worry of mine!)... and some of the not so fun complications of being pregnant. I honestly can't complain though.
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time?
I'm really enjoying it and trying to savor every moment of being pregnant and the rest of our time left as just the two of us. But at the same time it can be torture just wanting to meet this son or daughter of mine and just be able to hold and love and mother him/her. I know it will be here before we know it, though!
1. Have you loved, hated, or had a bitter-sweet pregnancy experience?
I'd say it's been pretty enjoyable so far.
2. What is the best part of your pregnancy?
FINALLY starting to feel movement!
3. What has been the worst part?
The nausea and exhaustion
4. Are you enjoying where you're at, wishing the baby would come quicker, or wishing you had more time?
I'm pretty content where I'm at.
