What is your favorite thing about being pregnant?

Burberry0421 · December 2013

There are so many things that go wrong in multiples pregnancies, but there are good things. What's your favorite thing? I love feeling the movement the most. And the naps. The naps are great.

Not being infertile. Not crying every time a friend announces their pregnancy. Not becoming depressed every time I think about the future. Today the future is a happy place with a family. I'm thankful for that everyday.

Thank you for posting this!! I can't stand the posts of "what went wrong in your pregnancy" wth?? My pregnancy is going very well!! I love seeing how I grow bigger and bigger everyday now (currently 29 weeks). I'm sure Instagram and FB hate me because I'm constantly posting belly pics

I love feeling the girls and how their little personalities are starting to come out. I love not feeling bad when I want a milkshake or cookie lol. Love being pregnant with twins!!! Ohhhh and I love shopping for twin girls!!

This exactly! I love being pregnant and it still doesn't seem real sometimes when I feared that it would never happen! I love feeling movement from both my babies and I can't wait for my husband to be able to feel them!

I love the fact that we're giving DS two siblings! Feeling movement and being able to tell which baby it is is really cool. Not currently going though more fertility test/treatments is fantastic.

I liked being in the pool lol.

I never really liked swimsuit time before pregnancy...

I'm going to third what pps said, not being infertile anymore! I LOVED being pregnant despite the uncomfortableness....it was such a special time in my life. I really miss it everyday... I hope I get to experience it one more time! I loved my belly and loved feeling them move. I still get phantom kicks and they are almost 4 months old....lol.

You said this so perfectly. I love being pregnant - I'm not sure if my experience would have been different if I hadn't been through infertility for so long - but regardless every single day I am thankful and happy for the future and that feels so good. (and now I'm crying....)

Yes and yes and yes! Although I'm too early (12 wks) to be feeling movement, based on my last pregnancy I know how special that will be.

I am not a good pregnant person. I mostly dislike it and spend a lot of time worrying. It's good to remember some of the positives aspects of it.

All this x a million!

I'm only 11 weeks so I haven't gotten to the super fun parts yet (mostly just the nausea/tired/icky stuff lol) BUT, I love not having to hide my pooch and feeling comfortable and confident with my body, I love watching their little dance battles on the ultrasound, I love knowing this summer we're finally going to have a little family and I love the hope and excitement pregnancy brings.

Baby kicks, not having to hide the pouch aaannnd the whole people opening doors, doing heavy lifting and encouraging eating delicous food stuffs.

Guilt-free ice cream eating.

After everything turned out ok, I loved my bed rest. It was scary and stressful at the time, but I miss being able to rest for days on end. And all the movies and tv and naps *sigh*

ceechie · December 2013

I loved the crazy giant belly. And when the girls would move. It was insane to watch! And all the milkshakes.
I, also, actually liked the non-stress tests. It took away some of my worry about if I was contracting and how the girls were. I loved listening to their hearts. And the women in my office were so nice. It was kinda relaxing.

I am finding out that I am not either - I don't get the magical feeling everyone talks about with the movement - I feel like its right up there with gas discomfort. I also hate not having my body in the condition I like it to be (as a runner, it sucks not being able to run or work out at all). I also hate not being able to have a few glasses of wine whenever I want.

So, to be positive: I love how excited I am to have a family, I love the belly rubs from people, and I have enjoyed a bit of time off from watching what I eat, waking up early Saturdays to run, and exercising every night!

Yes, all of this! Mostly knowing that there is a forever family in our future instead of uncertainty, doubt and disappointment! I also don't mind the extra pampering and attention I get from those around me.

Couldn't have said it better.

I agree about the movement. Also I loved how helpful and gracious strangers were out in public.

nblondheim · December 2013

Sooo many things have been said that I completely agree with! We were told we probably would never be able to have children so being pregnant in the first place was a blessing that we cherished. Finding out my gut instincts were right through almost everything was wonderful.... I felt like it was twins and felt like it was a boy and girl and I was right! Being a bigger person, I wasn't always comfortable in my own skin but being pregnant I completely am! I loved the ultrasounds and getting to see them and all of the movements.

Not having to worry about being fat.. I never really was, but I can eat my candy bar once in awhile without feeling guilty..
