Pregnancy Perks!

marijaa333marijaa333 member
edited September 2014 in May 2015 Moms
To get our minds off the fatigue, bloat, gas and the like, let's talk about some of the perks!

I'm taking a moment to appreciate the following:

1) Fuller boobs (I would like to keep these forever, thank you.)
2) Better dreams and orgasms (Ditto.)
3) Ice cream and fruits taste better than ever (And this.)
4) Husband is being extra nice (Habits form in 21 days, apparently, so hoping it sticks.)
5) Feeling unreasonably triumphant after exercise (And thus indulging in #3.)
6) Caring much less about the ridiculous things going on at work 

What do you actually like about being pregnant?

    *sigh* I can't find much I actually like about being pregnant, so reading through this thread has helped my attitude a little - thanks.

    I guess I like that my husband now does all the chores except laundry, since my food aversions are too bad to cook and our bathrooms are too poorly-ventilated for me to clean them with bleach, which is what we clean our bathrooms with.

    1) Proudly sticking my bloated belly out.

    2) Allowing DH to spoil me because "The baby has a craving". ;)

    3) Sex is more sensitive = even better orgasms.

    4) Big booooobies!

    5) Knowing I have a little life growing inside of me :)

    Swanky929 now I want starbursts!

    Eating whatever because nothing sounds good so if it will go in I'll take it.  

    Bloated belly waiting for it to turn real.

    Being in the middle of the 1st trimester makes it hard to think of anything good... :-&

    But I'll definitely agree that stretchy pants and no period are my favorite perks.

    1. MIL is suddenly way more nice to me. 
    2. Sister-in-law suddenly is acting like I'm an actual member of the family.  
    3. DH's taking the trash out EVERY DAY (not just when it's full) so I don't smell it and barf.

    1. So much stronger and better feeling orgasms - why is it so much better?!?
    2. Hubby letting me go to bed at 8 and sleep ALLLL night
    3. Good motivation to eat healthier and drink more water
    4. My prenatal vitamins make my hair super soft

    Can't agree with the boob situation though. Mine are definitely fuller, but they are sore and seem to get in the way. I can't seem to get comfortable laying on my side in bed because they are getting squished (I'm only a 36B before I got pregnant so I'm not used to having anything really at all) and when I walk in my heels at work I feel like they are out of control bouncy....

    1. I've lost 12lbs. I started out really overweight, so this is completely normal and a-ok. In fact, my doctor would be happiest if I either lost or didn't gain any for the remainder of the pregnancy.
    2. Husband let me go to sleep on the couch at 4 yesterday afternoon, and then after only being up for an hour or so, let me head up to bed at 8pm. And then he got up in the middle of the night with our 3 year old. I woke up today feeling like an almost new woman.

    @tinyjoys Wow, 12 lbs! Because of M/S or were you also trying to lose? In any case, congratulations all around. :)

    @Beeorange‌ That sideways "I love you" look is hands down the best.

    I also love thinking about baby names and feeling like I have company everywhere I go--like the wee one is doing everything with me!

    Between morning sickness and aversions, it was an accident. With zofran, my appetite isn't up to par and I'm having to force food down, unfortunately.

    I definitely needed this attitude shift :) I have been feeling sorry for myself on account of MS and cramping but....
    1. My luscious melon breasts as we jokingly call them
    2. My extra attentive DH who has suddenly become a handy man because "my pregnant wife deserves x, y, and z"
    3. Finally loving my little belly - it's just bloated I'm sure but for the first time ever I don't mind it
    4. Feeling like I have a secret that no one knows
    5. DH accompanying me to the grocery store so I don have to carry the bags all the way home
    6. My sudden desire for fried chicken - something I normally wouldn't eat. But hey, if it actually sounds good, I'm eating it these days

    I love the positivity!

    1) no periods
    2) a guilt-free excuse for naps
    3) the hubby and I having a very exciting shared secret.

    Apparently, naps need a reputation makeover among the non-pregnant segment of the population. Naps are *always* a good idea!  :D

    Oh, I forgot one! My blood pressure was low when I saw my GP to get a blood test, and she said "don't skimp on salt."  Thus, 7) Overly salty french fries.

    Lol I love OP #4, I am hoping for the same!

    I am enjoying:

    1) fuller boobs

    2) acne free face!

    3) fuller boobs

    4) the honor to grow a baby!

    And

    5) fuller boobs!

    I have to agree with the more intense orgasms. I am also excited to get to wear a new wardrobe.
