Who here LOVES being pregnant?

Just curious....
I wish i could say i do because i've wanted to be pregant so badly for so long..and i don't necessarily HATE it, but i really don't LOVE it either.
I mean i love going for the sono's and feeling the movement in my belly..but i just can't stand the way i feel and look.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I felt this way as well. And truthfully I think a lot of it was hormonal for me. I feel like my hormones are now leveling out and I am enjoying this time with my baby more now. I like the fact that it is just me and him right now and no one else has that bond.

While, physically it is getting tougher, I think I am just getting used to it.

I know that towards the end I will prob be ready for it to be over, but as of right now I am just trying to focus on enjoying this time while I have it.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I loved it with this pregnancy up until the last week or so. Now I have hemmies and am swollen 'down there' so i'm pretty uncomfortable. With DD I was a nervous wreck for most of it because I had so many issues, so no, I didn't enjoy it. The only thing I *love* is feeling the baby move. Other than that- i'm over it. Can't wait to have my body back.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I love being pregnant but when I get to the end..I just want to get this baby out of me. I am extremely anxious to meet my LO plus my back is killing me!

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

oh God NOT me

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

After over 2.5 years of trying to get here, I LOVE it! Aside from the anxiety and being tired, I am thankfully having a very easy pregnancy. I love my bump, love people noticing that I look pregnant. I'm comfortable in maternity clothes, and enjoy having to wear them. Once I'm further along and a little more uncomfortable, I'm sure that will change, but right now, I love it.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

The only thing I truly love is the kicks That is the best part, hands down. Otherwise, I don't hate it but I'm happy this is only temporary. I'm tired of the aches and pains and the acne and feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. I'm so thankful to be expecting but I won't miss being pregnant.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I do. Can't put a finger on why, I just enjoy it. And this by far has been my toughest, with a scare at 12 weeks, high blood pressure and gestational diabetes!

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

not me! I just feel so out of control of my body and uncomfortable However, I don't hate it so much that I wouldn't do it again...at least one more time

and i do LOOOOVE feeling the baby move. It is incredible.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I do. I love having a belly and feeling our baby girl move around. Nothing in the world can beat this feeling. IDC if I end up constipated and with hemroids. Still worth it.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I cant say I LOVE being pregnant but I dont hate it. So far, if I could do it all over again I would. I love having something to look forward to especially with the wonderful blessing that will come at the end. I hate all the questions all the time and the opinions. Thats annoying. Maybe next time we wont tell anyone until the baby comes. lol might make it a bit better. lol

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I hope I dont jinx myself , but I am loving this!!! I am only 10.5 wks and I know that things can change one min to the next but things are great. I do feel pretty bloated, tired and I have shooting pain in my right butt cheek when I first get up in the am but then i goes away. No complaints from this girl except....I hate the waiting in between appts. I actually had an appt last night but the receptionist wrote it down as the 13th not the 3rd on my card. I got a call asking when I would be in the office. It just kills me that I could of been given the reassurance last night that all was good but now I have to wait another week & 1/2.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I can honestly say I love being pregnant. But that's because I've had such a great pregnancy. Almost no unpleasant side effects, and overall I'm pretty happy with how my body has changed - I really adore my pregnant body and am sad I have to give it up soon. Even now, at 39 weeks, I feel pretty good. I spend most of the pregnancy waiting for the other shoe to drop, and now I sort of feel guilty for having it so easy.

But I'm glad I was able to really savor this one, because for all I know my next pregnancy could be absolute hell!!

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

see here is the issue. i feel like a total dicccckhead bc i am now preg due to ivf.
we tried sooo long hard and with losses as well.

but i feel sooo sick and sooo tired.....and soooo yucccck...that i cant say i LOVE physically being pregnant.....everything hurts me and well you get the drift.

i hate complaining at all bc i am soo beyond blessed to have this baby but its hard to feel wheee happy when i feel like i have the flu for months on end.

god please forgive meeee!!!!!!!

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

Crashing (because I am a month PP now and can't bring myself to leave this board! )... but I LOVE being pregnant. I loved every single second of it. Both times. It's such a mindblowing experience- all that the human body is capable of, the idea of helping to create life, then house it while it grows for 9 months, then give birth. INCREDIBLE. I've never loved my body a whole lot, but I LOVE my body when I'm pregnant. I am just in such awe of it. To me, all the aches and pains and discomfort that may accompany it are well worth the experience. It's such an empowering, yet humbling thing to experience. And in the big picture of a lifetime, 9 months (even multiple times) is such a short amount of time. I want to enjoy every single moment of those 9 months each time, because it is so fleeting.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

Up until 31wks I truly LOVED it! Now, I'm getting antsy and achey and all that comes with being 35wks.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

Honestly I love it... Im only 14 weeks so Im not big and uncomfortable yet, but Ive wanted this sooo badly that I love it. I dont mind the things I give up. I dont mind the gas pains or constipation (sorry for the tmi lol) I dont even mind the heartburn just knowing everything is going well and the baby is healthy is all that matters to me. I genuinely do mot care if its a boy or girl just as long as the baby is healthy and the pregnancy is healthy...

I still love saying it. I love the way my husband looks at me and the way my family and friends treat me...

I guess in a few weeks or months ill let you know if i change my tune...

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

so far, I love being pregnant. I could live without the worrying but I guess it's practiice for teenage years. Yikes.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

i loved it in the 2nd trimester and for the majority of the 3rd. i forgave it for the awful first months of morning sickness, and thanked it for being so wonderful to me...i actually felt pretty, i loved my belly, i really enjoyed the way i looked in maternity clothes, and the special attention i got. i felt that way up until my last month when i started to get uncomfortable and tired. i don't hate it at this point, but i'm definitely ready for it to be over and move on to mommyhood!

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

It took me a long time to get here so I always thought I would just be happy to be pregnant, and I was right. I love being pregnant. I do hate the anxiety that I still have at 38 weeks. I really try and embrace the pregnancy as much as possible. I really love my pregnant body and haven't had any problems. My only complaint is that I can't breathe as easy.
Overall I think I have had a really easy pregnancy and I feel very blessed to still be so comfortable.

Can't wait to have my body back.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

I do. I really love it. But i've been blessed with 2 amazingly easy pregnancies so i'm sure that's why.

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

Ive waited a long time, but im thinking i am not loving it at all. Ive been sick, back pain, headaches, nausea. Maybe it will change as the second trimester hits, but right now, i am not loving any part of it aside from the fact that there is a baby in my belly adn im gonna be a mommy...

Re: Who here LOVES being pregnant?

It was nice to read Im not alone in the worrying and anxiety i feel...
