Love and lose
So which part of your pregnancy do you love (and in a perfect world maybe have all the time) and which part can you lose without thinking twice?
I love my skin, for the first time EVER I have beautiful clear skin...thanks pregnancy hormones!
I can lose the heartburn, I would be so happy when it is gone!

Re: Love and lose
Love: My hair, my nails, my skin, my health (I've been super strict with my diet and exercise regime), nesting, feeling baby move around
Lose: Weight gain -- although a given, I'd love to fit into my normal clothes. I also want to drink coffee as liberally as I once did.
Love- my nail growth. My nails are very strong and all one length! And of course feeling LO move.
Lose- My ever growing breasts. They were big enough to begin with.
Love - My skin (it's never been so clear), the fast hair/nail growth, the movement, nesting
Lose - Weight gain, lack of energy, back pain, heart burn (I've never had this before), hip/pelvic pain, greasy hair after 12 hours of washing it. Most of all I miss getting a good nights sleep. I just can't get comfortable and stay asleep through out the night.
Love: My skin and my nails.
Lose: Weight gain since it's all in my thighs and rear, and being tired ALL.THE.TIME.
Love: Healthy hair for the first time ever, never having to zip or button my pants, "you shouldn't have to carry that - let me get it for you!", "you stay put, I'll get you another serving/drink/dessert", "babe, I'm so sorry your feet hurt, why don't you treat yourself to a pedicure?"
Lose: Heartburn, pimples, aching/swollen feet and hands, "are you sure it isn't twins?", "are you supposed to be drinking coffee?", "you're due in September, right?", "aren't you hot in this weather?"
Love: Boobs, libido, skin, hair, and my all around feeling more gorgeous than ever
Lose: Heartburn, back pain
Love: Hair, nails
Lose: I'm with everyone else...WEIGHT GAIN
I feel so unattractive! My appetite and being tired ALL of the time, also the lack of sleep.
Love: feeling the baby's movement, clear skin, great hair, feelings of joy and happiness.
Lose: nose bleeds, gas, tiredness, slower workouts, friends thinking they get to touch the bump just because they're friends, stupid PG advice, the looks we get when people find out we're doing natural labor, slowa$$ people (if the pregnant chick is walking faster that you, that should tell you something).
Love: feeling LO move, thick hair and nails, baby bump
Lose: horrible acne and skin, heartburn, gas, groin/hip pain, unusual appetite, not sleeping through the night, exhaustion, etc..
Love: My maternity pants (who knew you could wear yoga pants all day long), people giving up their seats to me on the train, being able to eat whatever I want whenever I want
Lose: Acne, weight gain (but not the ability to eat everything), blah hair, crazy pregnancy tips from people who have never been pregnant or are way too outdated
Love: The movement, soft/glowing skin, libido, feeling of becoming a mom, buying things for the baby
Lose: cramping when I walk too far/fast, migraines, cravings for sweets, not being able to bend over
Love: My hair looking so gorgeous and healthy
Lose: Acne, huge breasts, back pain, severe GERD, and migraines
Love - boobs that are at least an A cup!
Lose - charley horses in the middle of the night. My calf still hurts from the one at 4:30 this morning.
I got one in the middle of the night too! My husband had to practically hold me down to stretch out the muscle and I still feel stiff!
Love - baby movement, comfy pants, overly accommodating people
Lose - swollen ankles, weight gain, lack of coffee/diet coke : )
Love: My skin, hair and nails look great. Everyone is nice to me, and I love feeling movement.
Lose: Trouble sleeping, digestive issues, being limited in what I can eat/drink and what kind of exercise I can do.
