After seeing "What to Expect When You're Expecting" last night I was wondering how people felt about being pregnant. This is not meant to upset anyone I just know that some people love every minute and some people really don't enjoy it. [Poll]
I think it depends a lot of what kind of pregnancy you've had. I've been lucky to have had a very easy pregnancy, so I really don't mind being pregnant.
I think it also depends on how hard it was for you to get or stay pregnant. I'm way more willing to brush off small pregnancy annoyances because of what we went through to get here.
BFP #1 9/2010 (lost our baby at 21 weeks)
BFP #2 8/2011 (ectopic pregnancy)
BFP #3 10/2011 (chemical pregnancy)
BFP #4 12/2011 (Abigail born 8/15/12)
BFP #5 5/2013 (Griffin born 1/23/14 with heart defects, now repaired!)
I love it. Even though I am exhausted, feeling fat, having all sorts of pain and crazy acid reflux, I know I am lucky. I never got to this point with my son so I know that I can lose it all in the blink of a minute. I try to appreciate everything about it, even the crappy stuff that comes along with it because I know that not everyone can have a child and I am lucky to be carrying this one.

I would say I'm loving ALMOST every minute of it. The first tri was hard, I was sick and lost 12 lbs. but now I really have no complaints. I mean sure, by the end of each work day my feet are swollen and my back hurts pretty bad, but that is when she kicks the most so that pretty much takes away any pain I'm feeling
After trying for awhile, and going through an RE for DS, I LOVED being pregnant. I couldn't gain weight fast enough, I just wanted to look pregnant so everyone could know.
This time around, I was back at the gym, getting myself back.. and although I am on cloud 9 over DS #2, I wish I would of had a little more time getting myself back together. I haven't gone shopping for non maternity clothes in over two years. I couldn't tell you what the latest fashions are. I still have jeggings in my closet for goodness sakes! So I love being pregnant, but EHH!

I loved being pregnant the last two times. This time I'm more uncomfortable much earlier and I'm in a shiiiity job situation so it's colored the experience.
I loved being pregnant with my daughter more than my son purely because I didnt have all these pains. Though I love how I have gained less than half (curently) than with my daughter. I am not a big fan of pregnancy but love the 2nd tri when you are feeling those first kicks. The beginning and end...not so much. But since this is my last I will suck up all pains and enjoy every minute of it

With my first I was completely miserable and did not want to do it again but I knew I wanted another kid. I had a horrible pregnancy though between severe m/s up until 20wks, gallbladder problems, PTL, bedrest, meds, and then every day aches and pains of pregnancy.
This time hasn't been so bad. I had m/s for the first 8wk and now uncomfortable, and nervous about PTL but I can't complain too much. Istill don't love being pregnant but its definitely not as bad as my first time around.

I do love being pregnant, but I think I loved it more the first time. DS keeps me so busy that sometimes I forget that I'm pregnant until something starts hurting. I don't have the time to just sit around and enjoy it (or nap whenever I wanted) like I could with DS. Plus everything started hurting a lot earlier.
I voted for "i'm not loving it or hating it" because I am MUCH more tired and bigger this time around so it's a bit more challenging for me. I still love feeling him move-even though it is sometimes uncomfortable and makes me want to pee every 5 minutes!
