1) What do you LOVE about pregnancy?
2) What do you HATE about pregnancy?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: GTKY: The Love/Hate Post
1) LOVE: Ultrasounds. I love seeing a little one on screen knowing “Wow…I MADE that!”
2) HATE: Watching my body get all stretched out. I worked so hard to have the body I had before, so I can only hope I will get it back again.

I hate all of the "just wait til your this big and your bladder explodes and you can't bend down.!" Common fucking sense comments lol
2) What do you HATE about pregnancy? The itching. The weakened immune system/millions of colds, the hip pains, being extra exhausted.
I hate: my mood swings! Battling being self conscious!
I feel lucky that the good quickly outweighed the bad and fears.
My BFP Chart
- Knowing there's a little person in there that's 1/2 me and 1/2 H - how cool!
- Feeling her move
- Looking forward to seeing H as a dad
- The excuse it gives me for pretty much anything
HATE
- Not being able to drink
- The changes in my body - I worked so hard to lose 30 lbs about 3.5 years ago and I hate seeing that weight come back on and feeling out of control. A lot of it is my fault, as I know I could be trying a lot harder to stay healthy than I have been.
- My ginormous boobs. Holy hell, these things are out of control!
- Feeling like my body isn't my own
EDD: 5/4/2015
It's a girl!
My little ladies - Lola (RIP), Cecilia, and Peggy Sue
2. I hate being told constantly not to do things because I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant FFS not dying! Backache is a bitch too!
Love: Having my 3 year old rub my belly and talk to his baby sister
Hate: That my ass seems to be growing at the same rate as my belly this time.
The fact that I was able to get pregnant
Feeling the baby in a little ball
I just found out we are having a girl so I will love the shopping part. Yes I know the baby shower lalala, but I have had some miserable points in my pregnancy, so I'm going to do some enjoyable shopping.
Hate:
Hot flashes, lack of sleep, heartburn, hip and back pain that keeps me from sleeping, being limited in Zumba, cramps that last for two hours(like round ligament pain that just hangs out), not being able to cook because of the smell of raw meat, being grossed out by sex.... There's more, but I'll spare you all!
2. I hate.... hmm... this could be a long list. Gaining weight, back pain, random stomach pains, morning sickness, headaches, swelling, complications, not being able to move around like when non-pregnant, etc. Ha.
I am not that happy of a pregnant woman.
I agree with the being un-self conscious about your body, I feel the same.
LOVE-
Feeling the babies little flutters and realizing there really is a little human in there and this little human didn't exist a few weeks ago and that is just amazing to me.
When I saw the profile of the baby a few weeks back at an ultrasound it looked like my husband and I burst into happy tears because it was a realization of "we made that!" and I have never experienced anything like it before.
How my love for my husband has grown deeper as we are taking this journey together. I know its cheesy but he is my best friend and I am so excited he is by my side.
Really embracing my new body and bump
HATE-
How much my nipples have been hurting
Not getting to workout as intense as I have wanted to and really trying to not beat myself up about it.
I had sciatica from a weight lifting injury before I was pregnant and now at 17 weeks its already flaring up really bad and that is scaring me for when the baby is actually bigger, how am I going to manage that pain!
How bad and scary the first trimester was. I was very depressed and had a lot of emotions going through me and I didn't like who I was during that time.
Hate: sickness, insomnia, not being able to drink, not being able to take Advil, everyone asking if I need something (I know it's them being nice, but I'm not disabled).
Hate: umm... basically everything else. Pregnancy and I do not get along. Terrible ms, hemmeroids, constipation, just constant aches and pains, no energy. Ugh.
I hate pregnancy in my 30's I have yet to have a this is amazing feeling. I am thankful for the pregnancies but my body seems to wave a white flag from week 6 to week 39.
I love when I finally pop and look pregnant.
I dislike the HEG I've had, made it pretty miserable
I dislike labor pains and pushing it out
That's about it! I'm pretty laid back and I can roll with many punches. Im just happy to be having another one- and when it comes out and it's healthy and I can hold him and he's mine- I'll breath a sigh of relief and be all the way content.
Hate: PGAL brain, nausea
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
Hate: feeling like a bad mom to my toddler because I'm tired all the time
Peeing in my pants!!
Last time every bad cough, every sneeze... I'd release some pee. I started wearing (tmi alert) those giant poise pads! Puking was then worst. I completely peed my pants, noticeably, after loudly puking in a Waffle House bathroom on Thanksgiving Day last pregnancy!
2) HATE - Lack of beer in my life and constipation
