Did you like being pregnant???

mckayleesmom wrote: Im just curious....I know alot of mothers that loved being pregnant and alot that didn't. I hated being pregnant with Mckaylee...Don't get me wrong...I wanted her...I just didn't think I would feel soo icky and yucky all the time....I had morning sickness for 8 months and could barely eat...Cravings never happened. I lived on oatmeal. With Russell...I didn't find out I was pregnant with him till I was 4 months and it was an awsome pregnancy. I did get pretty bad braxton hicks with him...but that was it.

booey2 replied: Absolutely loved it. I lost weight both times, only to gain it all back and then some.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Oh heck yeah!! If I could be PG for the rest of my life, I would! Other than going through my biggest months of PG with Christian during the hottest months of the year, I would do both and more all over again! I think that is why I really want more children, the experience of being PG, having fuller BB's , and just because I want another one. I loved every minute of it!

CAMSMOM1 replied: I voted YES.

At first, I didn't like it. (the first couple months) Just because I was having a hard time with my emotions, and depression. Then that wore off, and I was LOVING IT!

I love every part of it. I loved my BIG belly, feeling him moving inside me, I just loved being pregnant! All my friends & family said they had never seen someone so happy to be preggo, but I really was. I didn't want to give birth, because I knew I would miss it so badly!

Of course, I didn't have any morning sickness, or pg complications, so I'm sure that's why I just loved it.

Cece00 replied: I loved parts of each pregnancy & hated parts of each pregnancy. When I'm not pregnant I occasionally miss it so I guess I loved it more than hated it.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Ann's post reminded me that Chris probably would hate it. There were more than a few emotional highs and lows he involuntarily rode out with me.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I loved it for the most part. Of course I didn't like being sick the first couple months, and then because I was pg during the cold and flu season I was sick in that way the whole 2nd trimester, but other than that I loved it.

My favorite part was the 3rd trimester when I was huge - I loved watching Andrew roll around in my belly.

Edward's Mommy replied: I LOVED being pregnant! Edward is 7 months old and I miss my big belly so much that I still catch myself putting my hand on my belly and rubbing it. Especially when I take a shower because that was when it seemed most real to me because I could see the different shape of my belly. I loved being pregnant! I loved everything about it! I miss it! All of it!!

I even loved labor. I had the epidural wear off on me 3 times and I felt HARD labor and ended up in a C-Section, but I would go through labor again! It hurt, but I thought the pain was so beautiful. Each pain I felt brought me closer to my baby!!!

CAMSMOM1 replied:


Mine too! I just loved watching him roll around. Or feeling his foot, or a little hand pushing on me. I loved how BIG my stomach got. The 3rd trimester was by far my favorite!

C&K*s Mommie replied: OKAY... OKAY... I am having BABY FEVER now!

BAC'sMom replied: I loved it too, all three times.

My2Beauties replied: OK I know this is awful to say since I'm about to go through with it again, but I didn't like being pregnant at all. I was miserable the whole time. I was sick the first 3 months, not throwing up just gagging constantly and nauseous, I was big during the summer which sucked and I was burning up hot all the time and then the last 3 months I was so big that I couldn't sleep at all, I would have to sleep on the couch sitting up! Hanna moved so much she kept her feet and stuff in my ribs! That girl was a trip!

moped replied: Nope, not one single bit - I was sick for 9 months and puked daily if not more!!!! So, no I didn't liek it and not to mention that I gained over 80 pounds - yes that is correct..............but I love Jack and being am om so I would do it again

punkeemunkee'smom replied: LOVED IT!!! It was the most amazing time of my life.(to that point-being a mom to a 4 year old has topped all ) I loved how feminine I felt and I was so proud when I got my first strech mark-still don't mind them. Bill loved it too-I was never real emotional or had too many big problems (I was injured at the end and had to have an emergency C) but I would do it all again in a heart beat!



ME TOO!!!!

3xsthefun replied: I love it! There was somethings I didn't like about it. Sometimes I do miss being pregnant and I'd probably love go through it again. I never had any morning sickness either so that might helped some.

MamaJAM replied: I loved being pregnant....though my body didn't always love it.

Tylersmommy replied: I love being pregnant. I don't look so fat lol they think it's all baby. Nah just kidding. Besides the sleepless nights running to the bathroom every five minutes to pee it's great!!!!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I can honestly say no. I have not enjoyed being pregnant at all...yet here I am on my third
I do get jealous of the women who talk about how wonderful they thought pregnancy was since for me it is a guaranteed 9 months of misery.

kimberley replied: loved being pg with Jacob and Kaleigh
didn't love it so much with Jade and James

luvmykids replied: Both pg's had their ups and downs, the twins were an awful pg b/c I was so sick for so long and spent so long on bedrest, but the fun part was feeling them pushing each other around! Until it felt like Colt took residence under my ribs and stayed there.

Macie was better, I was never sick but it was a bummer b/c I didn't hardly even show! And I wanted everyone to know I was pg!

PrairieMom replied: I loved it, even though it gives me a lot of stress and anxiety. DH remembers me being miserable through my last preganncy, but I don't remember it that way at all!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I'm somewhere in the middle I guess. I never had MS, so I suppose that was great, nor do I get stretch marks or swelling. But I had bad back pain with Wil that seemed to never go away no matter what I tried. Plus, I hate my skin when PG (although I do all the time).

I would probably say YES, I like it, for the most part.

MyLuvBugs replied: I love it. Once i get past the first 3 months anyway. lol

A&A'smommy replied: Well I have only had one but I LOVED being pregnant with her!!!

PhiMuMommy replied: no but i was the ONLY person who was remotely excited about me being pregnant. father included. sooooooo it made it really hard to be happy.

huggybugboy replied: I hated it Dont get me wrong, I was super excited to be pregnant and be having a baby, but I was MISERABLE. I never really had the nausea too bad but my back started hurting when I was 2 months along and didnt stop until I had him. I had to go on disability at 6 months and was in so much pain, it was awful. But then when I had my little I forgot about all of it.

kayla's mama replied: I LOVED it!!!!!! It was so awesome feeling her move inside. I know its not possible but sometimes I feel something inside me move, I know, that sounds weird. Sometimes I still rub my belly then it dawns on me that I'm not pg anymore.

I think I'm getting the beginning of baby fever

jujube replied: I hated being pregnant! I love the result but hated the process of getting her here healthy. I had a very difficult pregnancy though emotionally, dealing with the breakup of her father and myself, and then physically too, with preeclampsia. So I guess you can't use my experience to judge. I hope and pray my next one (if I decide to do a next one) will be better.

Mommy2BAK replied: OMG I loved it!! But at the end we were just very anxious.

myangels_parkerntaylor replied: I voted different with each kid.

With my first pregnancy i was ready to have him when i was 6 months pregnant. I gained a ton of weight and just didnt want to be pregnant anymore. It was also when we had heat waves here in San Diego in the middle of winter and that made it even worse for me.

With my daughter i was enjoying it and didnt gain very much weight, towards the end though my hips were killing me and i could barely walk. Didnt have that problem when i was pregnant with my son. I also didnt get bad morning sickness with my daughter like i did with my son. Overall though i did like being pregnant it was just different with each kid.

~~*Missi*~~ replied: I had the worse pregnancy with bleeding preterm labor etc......but I LOVED IT absolutely LOVED it

Crystalina replied: I absolutely hated everything about being pregnant. The only good thing about it was the outcome. I knew I HAD to do it in order to have a baby which is the only reason I did. I got fat, I was b#tchy, I was sick and I could smell EVERYTHING and I mean everything. It's terrible that I'll have to do it agian if I want another one. I'm just one of those women who hate it.
Both of my pregnancies where very uneventful and both babies were healthy and I thank God for that but my labors were like 28 hours for my first and 49 hours for the second. I wish I could just skip the pregnancy and jump straight to the baby.

Nathansmom replied: I didn't love it, didn't hate it. I had morning sickness until 15 weeks, then when that was gone, my back hurt so bad I couldn't sit for more than about a half hour at a time. I did love parts like feeling him move around, but I hated the heartburn, being the size of a house...etc.
