The miracle of pregnancy

brinbribrinbri member
in 1st Trimester

When I was pregnant with ds I always thought that people where crazy when they talked about how amazing pregnancy was,  what a miracle your body was creating and how it was such and amazing time, etc.  I just couldn't get over how sick I was, how tired I was, how uncomfortable I was, what I couldn't eat, etc.  And then I had ds, and I realized I was so wrong, those people were so right. 

Now that I am lucky enough to be pregnant again, I feel so privileged to be able to grow another human being.  I am reading ahead in the development with a whole new outlook, like jaw to the floor, and can't believe that what will happen creates a whole other being, just like ds.

It's not like I didn't read everything last time and keep up on development or anything, I just think it is hitting me differently this time...

Is this crazy?  Have other second time moms experienced this, or am I just slow on the up take and the rest of you got it the first time?

    I am definitely in a better state of mind for this 2nd pregnancy and feeling more how incredible it is.  For my first pregnancy I felt like OP said and just had a hard time getting past the feeling awful all the time.  This time I know what the end result is and see my amazing DS #1 and am so excited knowing what is ahead.  :)

    Congratulations!

    I am a second time mom, I found out I was pregnant a few days ago and I feel the same way you are feeling right now, I did not expect my first baby (an "accident") but I started to love her after my dr. confirmed I was pregnant, my husband and I wanted to enjoy her and to wait a little before having another baby... when I found out I was pregnant again I felt the excitement I did not have with my first baby, not beacuse I did not want to have her but at that time I did not realized that God was giving us a wonderful blessing, we were just 3 months married and the m/s did not let me think or feel about anything else but sickness!...I do not feel bad about that, my daughter knows I love her with all my heart, we enjoy both pregnancies in different ways...With this second baby I do not feel the m/s as with the first one though...I hope this helps

    This is my first pregnancy, and I feel like you did during yours... not that I'm not so eternally grateful and excited for the growing child that I am blessed to have... but ughh I hate being pregnant. It's so hard to function and live my life when I feel like crap all the time.
