Everything AFTER 1st tri. Feeling baby move, ultrasounds, having a belly and not having to hide it, and maternity clothes!!

Definitely feeling baby move. It's the best feeling ever.

The first time you hear that HB. It's the sweetest sound in the world. The first *real* kick. Hiccups. Weeks 16-30 were really great.

Hiccups?? Wooow!

To be honest, I wasn't in love with being pregnant but the ultrasounds, hearing the heartbeat, and feeling baby move were pretty cool. I also loved having lovely, full hair.

Better hair?! That's awesome!!

I was not a fan of being pregnant so there is absolutely nothing I miss but the parts that weren't so bad we're feeling the movements for the most part (until they get to be really big than it hurts). Maternity clothss and not having to suck anything in. I loved my snoogle. I named him Stan. I cannot wait to break him back out. DH does not feel the same way.

What's snoogle? Like a snaggi?

@emmy236 - I'm a stomach sleeper so I added a Snoogle to my super-secret Amazon list last week. I have a feeling I'll need it, else I'll never sleep!

welly01 · January 2015

I didn't enjoy being pregnant but feeling the baby kick is pretty awesome. My hair didn't do anything awesome, but it was definitely fuller. Oh, I can't believe no one has said pregnancy boobs!!!!

OmG the snoogle is the best invention ever. Don't even wait for your shower, just go get a 20% coupon for BBB and pick one up.

I LOVED being pregnant. I will add a disclaimer and say I was very lucky to not have gotten M/S, though. But I loved the movement, kicks hiccups, the attention from others ( which I know is usually different the second time around). I didn't mind people touching my belly. I loved the anticipation, ultrasounds, shopping, nursery set up, just everything. Hopefully I'll get some of the warm fuzzies this time around.

Agree with the previous posters -- having a baby belly & feeing the baby move.

Ahh hiccups. Hiccups made me crazy lol it drove me nuts. She had them multiples times a day.

junebaby20 · January 2015

I loved feeling and watching her move around. Also the immediate weight loss lol. thats always a plus. I HATED my snoggle. I just stuffed a pillow under my belly.

Skaggsfamily08 · January 2015

Feeling her move and kick, I felt her on the inside long before anyone could feel her on the outside. It was a special time before I had to share her with everyone else. Seeing her on the U/s and hearing her heartbeat for the first time. It really is the sweetest sound you'll ever hear. My hair was fantastic as were my nails, I did feel like I was going to go bald after I had her though. I still shed like a dog 2 years later.

Mufflerlove · January 2015

Oh I remember one. Last pregnancy I only had to shave my legs once a week. I hope that happens again

CruiseGirl28 · January 2015

I loved being pregnant. I love feeling the baby move (she moved a lot). I love just knowing that I'm pregnant. It feels important. You get to be with the baby all the time, so you never feel alone. I liked the attention from others too. It's just so exciting. I loved planning everything and the anticipation of a baby coming.

I sleep better when pregnant too, but I didn't get the better hair benefit.

I felt so much better about my body. I love having a baby belly, and not feeling self conscious about myself. I could dress in tight shirts and feel sexy.

wonderbex · January 2015

Baby kicks are heaven, unless its in the ribs..thats a different story.
Seeing baby on the ultrasound, so surreal and cool that there's a baby inside of you!

BeachBabe22 · January 2015

I loved being pregnant! I was really sick 8-16 weeks but other than that I had a great pregnancy. My hair was definitely thicker and my skin was the best it has ever been. I loved feeling her move and especially when she had the hiccups. My husband was deployed my entire pregnancy and I had so many appointments and exciting things to look forward to that the time flew by.
