I am thankfull for....

DawnLilly · April 2012

We're all nearing the end and getting "complainy" but what pregnacy symptom or lack of symptom are you thankful for...

I am thankful that when I spread my toes I can still see in between them, my shoes still fit and I can get my rings on and off.

I'm thankful that aside from the first tri all-day nausea and aversions, I've had very few negative pregnancy symptoms - a few small aches, a tiny bit of heartburn, some bleeding gums, and minimal RLP here and there. Granted, I still have about 7 weeks to go, but SO FAR I've been lucky

I'm thankful that my all day sickness is only a couple times a week now vs everyday like it was in 1st and 2nd tri Big Smile

Big improvement.

I am also thankful for lack of swollen hands and feet. I'm also happy with my weight gain and general appearance.

What a great idea to focus on the positive...I've had a fairly easy go of it but still find things to feel sorry for myself about. So:

I am thankful for every little wiggle! I love feeling him move and feel so blessed to have this experience.

I am thankful that we are all almost at the end and that I can still see my feet

I'm thankful that I have had a relatively easy pregnancy with no m/s and fairly manageable aches & pains, do not have GD, and can still wear my rings.

Great post!

A friend just pointed out that she bet I couldn't (without sticking my butt back) - and she was right! Funny. But others who scared me with the idea that I wouldn't be able to tie my shoes or get myself off of the floor have been wrong (so far!). I'm so happy I can still go for nice long walks and do my yoga.

I am thankful for not getting the "pregnancy mask" my sister got it and it looks weird, and for not having stretch marks!

Sawyerplus1 · April 2012

I'm thankful that I still feel really good, have been sleeping well (without getting up to pee even!), and am feeling really excited and laid back about this LO (a perk of it being the 3rd, I think). And out of pure vanity, I'm thankful that I've gained less weight this time (by almost half) than I did in my other 2 pregnancies.

Non-pregnancy related, because I'm feeling thankful, I'm thankful that I got a TON of good housework done this morning, that DH took both LOs (!) grocery shopping while I cleaned, and that the sun is shining!

I don't want to jinx myself with the stretch mark thing... they are all over my boobs quite deep and dark so even though I don't have any on my stomach, I'm not ready to celebrate just yet. I guess I've never heard of the "pregnancy mask". Is it acne?

I am thankful that from the backside you can not even tell I am PG and that I have not started to swell up like I did last time.

Its when your face gets brownish and discoloured, unfortunately I got some pretty horrendous acne which left scars

I am thankful that God blessed me with this experience of being able to carry and grow a healthy baby.

Eddy1 · April 2012

Thankful for knowledgable ultrasound techs who were able to identify my placenta issue. Now we have a game plan that will hopefully keep lo safe during delivery.

I am thankful for my low weight gain despite my indulging.

I am thankful for a husband who goes above and beyondwith a smile on his face.

I second this! I have read so many touching stories of mothers who are amazing heroes... One was the story of Tripp's mom and Tripp's journey throughout his short life. I know someone personally who's niece was born with EB as well. I also pulled out the tissues a few minutes ago reading a story of a family who had so much faith that they decided to continue on with their pregnancy knowing their child was at odds for surviving.

Here I am hoping/praying that my baby will be born healthy and thankful that we haven't had any complications thus far.
