S/O: What is your LEAST favorite thing about being pregnant?
For me it's not being able to sleep comfortably...already!! I seriously thought this didn't happen until the later weeks when the belly is massive. I can't believe I already cannot sleep on my belly and by no means can I lie on my back b/c when I do my chest starts hurting and my heart beats really hard. Something to do with the pressure of my uterus pressing on my vena cava 
So I have to sleep on my side and my hips are killing me every morning!

Re: S/O: What is your LEAST favorite thing about being pregnant?
1.) Gagging (and potentially vomiting) every time I take out the trash, open the fridge, talk too fast, walk & talk at the same time, bend down too many times (laundry, dishwasher, etc), walk past the seafood section at the store, look at/think about cold mushy food (hummus, applesauce, yogurt).
2.) Getting lightheaded and dizzy when I try to go grocery shopping or walk around the mall.
1. Automatic DD for my friends (so annoying).
2. Eating a big healthy meal and being hungry an hour later.
I have 3.
1. Being hungry at 3am.
2. Having to pee ALL the time.
3. Mood swings that I can't control only recognize & warn others.
Right now I would say it is a tie between my hips/tailbone constantly hurting and being hungry all the darn time. Although I still think those are better than when I was nauseous all day every day.

My stuffy nose is hands down the most annoying thing. (I will blow it and 2 minutes later it's full again). It goes like that ALL DAY LONG. This also leads to gagging and was making my nausea 10x worse.
And gagging every time I brush my teeth...
The morning sickness
My breasts started leaking last week
Having to pee all the time
Being sick and not being able to take anything!
Recently the stuffy nose from hell.
Before: peeing ALL the time, being hungry ALL the time, gagging when I brushed my teeth, and blacking out when I stood up.
1. Not being able to sleep comfortably.
2. Getting light-headed and needing to sit down constantly.

1. Not getting to sleep on my stomach. That is where I always slept and it takes me forever to get comfortable on my sides.
2. Peeing all the time and getting up in the middle of the night to pee.
3. Having to take prenatal vitamins because I gag everytime I swallow taking them.

1) The month and a half where I had morning sickness...ALL DAY. There are only so many times you can throw up and have it come out of your nose before you never want to be pregnant again. Thank goodness for Zofran.
2) Being so tired that when I walk around a store, I become so exhausted that I want to sit in the middle of the aisle on the floor and rest. Or I have to go sit in the car while my husband finishes up.
