Yes, I know it's a miracle and I am blessed. But honestly there are certain things about pregnancy I am not too fond of.
Likes:
Feeling movement and kicking
My amazing hair
My skin is flawless
Dislikes:
It's gross- but the discharge I could live without
My body temperature- sweating like a pig constantly
Round ligament pain
How about you?

I like:
Feeling the baby move
Seeing how protective my DH is of me and the baby
Planning for the baby
Great hair
And being blessed with a miracle (was told it'd be virtually impossible to get pregnant naturally)
Dislike:
Had very bad m/s first trimester and into 2nd trimester
Worrying (just overall worry making sure baby's ok, etc)
Vaginal Discharge
My Boobs!!!!! They've gotten extremely large and I hate it!! My baby bump would look so much cuter if my boobs weren't so huge.
Dislikes: my boobs. I am a small girl with small boobs (32a on a good day) and they're already filling a 34b, sigh. I wish I was one of the lucky ones who's boobs didn't get bigger until their milk came in. . I don't have a bump yet, ad these girls look ridiculous on me.
Mommy to R (8.23.11) and K (6.21.14).
Dislikes: ugh. Nausea. Can barely brush my teeth because I gag. Strong sense of smell. I smell everyone's breath... I know who has raw meat breath and who has shit breath from 3 ft away. I smell things no one smells. And it's driving me mad. Gas. Too much info but I am farting like a machine. Headaches since ringing in the long anticipated 2nd trimester. Worst thing yet. And... Acne. I had beautiful skin and was looking forward to the pregnancy glow but got stick with zits. Yay.
All the dislikes are worth it of course
Says the one who got holier-than-thou over pregnant women have an occasional glass of wine. Pot, meet kettle.
Likes: hair and nail growth, bigger boobs, and feeling the kicks
Dislikes: MS, headaches, weight gain, insomnia, hormonal
Prepping for the arrival
The thoughts of having my own baby!
Dislikes: frequent urinating all hours of the night
Not being able to do anything real exciting since it's unsafe for pregnancy.
Morning sickness
Lack of energy
Depression
Yes... because having some dislikes about pregnancy...like nausea and consuming alcohol are the same thing.
I can have an opinion- just like everyone else on this site. Funny- you look at the loss board and you see women that struggle and would give anything.....ANYTHING for a healthy pregnancy and baby; including myself. I did everyhing right and I get to terminate my pregnancy at 27 weeks tomorrow- so go ahead and enjoy your glass of wine.
This. We are sad for your loss. Truly we are.
However, your loss is not connected, in any way, to your judgemental, holier-than-thou words on the other thread. Your loss has happened after you judged women who dared have a glass of wine (with their doctors' blessings, no less). To come back here and try to make us feel guilty for calling you out is a pretty shitty thing to do.
Like:
Feeling the babies move
Getting ready for them
The ultrasounds (carrying twins so they do an ultrasound every month... it's amazing seeing how much they grow each time!)
Chuckling at our 3yo's confusion about what's going on and her occasional insistence that I'm carrying a variety of animals as well. Yesterday, we were expecting triplets because one was a "little baby yap yap doggie"
Dislikes:
Tired. Lots of tired.
Waking up all the time to go to the bathroom
DD chose this as the perfect timing to break her arm... which keeps life interesting
First, A few LOVES...
-Feeling the baby's movement
-My 5 year old DD being very affectionate with my bump and making baby comments in general (3 yr old DS isn't there..yet!)
-splurging on sweets
-feeling very deserving and not so guilty of naps
Dislike...
-waking up to pee
-not staying hydrated enough
-sciatic nerve pain
-getting weighed in at doc appts
--having a baby on the way
--feeling the baby moving
--planning for baby
--maternity jeans, so comfy!
Dislikes:
--nausea (still)
--vomiting (still)
--headaches for 8 weeks now
--food aversions
--finding bras
--baby not appreciating Mexican like I do
--not being able to enjoy a cold glass of beer
Dislikes: knowing this is my last pregnancy. It's bittersweet.
Things i'll never miss: pretty much every other side effect of pregnancy. The gas has been AWFUL this time around, vaginal discharge is always such a treat, sex SUCKS, heartburn, m/s, craving something all day & then finally getting it & it taste like crap, the back pain, the lacking energy....whine whine whine!!
All you 1st time mommies, it REALLY is worth it, & every pregnancy really is different, so don't assume that just bc this one sucks/is awesome that your next one will be too. & either way, totally worth it when you look in that baby's eyes for the 1st time & know you created this LIFE, & this perfect little person is all yours )
Dislikes: my body not being able to cooperate and sending me into PTL at 25 weeks. Thus resulting in bedrest most likely until 36 weeks. All of the shots, Meds and just worry associated with being on bedrest and also dealing with a 4 year old. Gas pains, heartburn, constipation, so tired at random times, peeing in a too small cup every week.
DS #1 born January 2010. DS #2 due June 2014.
