  Of course every pregnancy is different, but for me, the things I like are:
  
  - the excitement of knowing I'll have a baby in (count down the #) weeks
  
  - feeling him kick
  
  - seeing/hearing the heartbeat for the first time and seeing him on the ultrasound
  
  - baby clothes - they're so cute!
  
  - sharing in the experience with my H - him listening to the heartbeat, talking to the baby, putting his arm around my belly while sleeping, etc.
  
  - knowing my body is doing something amazing - sometimes I feel negative about my body because it doesn't look a certain way or whatever, but pregnancy is cool IMO because I can be grateful for what my body can do.
  
  Good luck TTC, and best wishes for a H&H 9 months.

  I hate to be a downer, but truthfully, being pregnant is not fun, especially in the last few months.  The only good thing about being pregnant is feeling that baby move (except at night when you want to sleep) and the end result -- a baby!

  For me, the best part about being pregnant has been feeling the baby move & kick. I've loved getting the baby's room set up and picking out clothing as well, but that could be because I'd like doing that for anyone!
  
  I know I probably shouldn't say this...but I've also LOVED not getting my period for the last 7.5 months. I've always had horrific cramps and bad periods, so I'm not looking forward to what a post partum period will be like!

  I kind of enjoy being pregnant
  
  I like feeling the baby move.
  I like the feeling of it being the two of us all of the time, like I have them all to myself during this time.
  I like how excited my daughter is to be a sister.
  I like wondering about who he is going to be.
  I like when she talks to her brother and he seems to respond.
  I like planning a nursery and buying baby stuff.
  I am looking forward to the hospital stay because it is really nice there and will be like a little vacation.
  I am looking forward to being on maternity leave and getting a break from work.

  I absolutly adore being pregnant and I know that I am going to miss it so much when its over, but maybe im one of the lucky ones! (no neausea or vommitting ever) I absolutly love feeling baby move, hearing the heartbeat, love how clear my skin is. Love how much NICER people are to me! (holding doors, letting me cut in line) Also being able to get great parking spots anywhere i go! (Expectant mothers parking)

  It's all about the end game for me.

  I think this question would've gotten more positive answers if it were on the second trimester board. At this point, I think it's easier to let negativity invade!

  I'm thinking this will be my last, so at 38 weeks 4 days, I'm holding on to this pregnancy. I love the baby movements, doctors appointments/ultrasounds, and hype up to the birth. I'm so looking forward to having a baby again, but will miss the pregnant part. Good luck to you!
