Do (or did) you love being pregnant or hate it? - Poll..

I think certain things trigger me to find it so bad like skinny people, going to the mall and seeing all the stores that I cannot shop in, not being able to move as much, noticing that I now ROLL out of bed, not even being able to shop because my feet are killing me so bad, I am no longer skinnier than my mom (my mom is actually tiny but I was always more tiny... if that makes sense ) etc.

At the same time I absolutely love it. I love that I am able to have a baby, that I can take care of her so easily being pregnant (I have found to enjoy this to the max while I can, LOLOL), I can hug her when ever I want, she is always with me and even though she hasn't even been born yet, she always makes me smile when I wake up in the morning.. first thing ! Some times I actually like the even physical aspects of pregnancy just because the reason for the big ol' belly is because shes in there and I am proud of it .

How did or do you feel being pregnant?

But now I'm really missing it and want another !

AshleyRose replied:
yes I noticed from your little blinky... I wonder how long it will take for me to miss and want another...

A&A'smommy replied: I LOVED every minute of it, even the most miserable ones!

DansMom replied: Even with the gestational diabetes and the swollen ankles, I loved most of it. The second trimester was when I felt the best, but I loved the third with all of the kicking and hiccupping. It felt so good to me.

Lollie replied: Hi....

Well,I must admit I love being preggo....mmmmm...feels like Ive been preggo forever!! I am having terrible back ache at the moment which is not nice at all but I still love being pregnant!!I love feeling my baby moving inside my belly and just enjoying all those special moments!!

coasterqueen replied: I have the 50/50 thing going on. With Kylie it was all the cramping...I'm a wuss or something because the craming was too much for me. I didn't have cramping with AF so all that cramping was just too much. Otherwise it was pretty textbook.

With this one, I hate that I'm on partial bedrest, especially around the holidays..kind of makes it a bit depressing. The cramping is much worse again...I'm such a wuss with that. Otherwise I have much more energy during the 2nd tri this time around...I didn't have any during the 2nd tri with Kylie.

5littleladies replied: 50/50 here too. There were times when I absolutely loved being pregnant and there were times that I liked it not-so-much-like during my 3rd trimester with Brianna when I was so hot and uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep even when I laid right in front of the dang air conditioner.

Right now I really miss it though-I can't wait to be pregnant again.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I am very 50/50
I was sick, and crampy and miserable. Matt kicked ALL night long so I never slept...But I loved havin a baby in there

Littlejojames replied: Has to be 50/50. Not enjoyed it much up to now till i had my 20 week u/s but noiw i know everything is healthy and good i can start to relax and enjoy it more.

With all the problems i had at the start i was that much on edge everything was going wrong, now i have the all clear and got to see my little (or not so little now) smudge i feel loads better.

Nancy replied: I love it!!!!Even with all the aches and pains and morning sickness, being able to feel that little baby moving inside me is the most amazing thing ever. I've always enjoyed all 3 of my previous pregnancies but this one I'm trying to savor every moment because I know this will be my last. The last time I ever feel movement inside me. It is kind of depressing, you know?

Sunflower04 replied: I must say that I loved it and miss it too.

toddzgurl replied: Although I love being pregnant I wish he was here already so that I could see his face and be a parent already I am so excited!!!

smullin replied: I am 50/50 also. I am excited for the baby to come and if I wasn't pregnant it wouldn't ever come so I like being pregnant. Along with that the stretching of everything, morning sickness, and just the plain ickness does make me love being pregnant. I am sure I will feel better soon though and each week I get more excited for what is to come.

paradisemommy replied: absolutely LOVE it..having a baby grow inside of you just blows me away and is such a tiny miracle!!

Tamatha replied: Well, I'm new at this whole being pregnant thing, but so far, its a 50/50 kind of deal. Today, I think I'm doing ok! Yesterday, I totally freaked myself out by reading too much literature all at once, and I got overwhelmed with the whole thing. Last Tuesday, I had to fight to keep meals down. Other days, I just burp for hours after each meal... lol It really is a day by day thing for me. I never know what the day will hold when I roll my happy butt outta bed! lol So I think its pretty safe to assume that I am a 50/50 kinda gal!

mammag replied: I chose other because I loved being pregnant with my first three and hated it with the last. I don't know if it was because I was older (30) or what but I was miserable the whole time until I saw his lovely face and then it was all worth it. I used to be annoyed by pregnant women who complained all the time but with the last, I was one of those women

I wouldn't trade it for the world and am somewhat sad that I won't be doing it again.

Nicole replied: I love being Pg now and i loved being Pg with my other kids to!

Josie83 replied: For the most part I loved it, obviously there are some negative aspects but for the most of it I just adored being pregnant. I loved having a big belly, - I loved the way my boyfriend would get so excited about my bump too! I sort of miss being pregnant but nothing can beat your baby actually being here! xx

Kila replied: If you asked me whether or not I loved being pg when I was 7-9 months pg, I would have said "Absolutly not!". But now I find myself really missing it. I miss the feeling of having her in my belly and the bonding that DB did while I was pg. I miss touching my belly and feeling her move. God! I can go on and on but won't bore you guys. Uhhh! I want another already!

angelhair replied: right now, I hate it with the morning sickness, although I have been feeling much better lately, the bloating and feeling like my stomach is stretched after I eat and the strange aftertaste. however if this one makes it I will love it as my belly grows bigger and I am able to hear the heartbeat so I am 50/50 love dee

elvisfan replied: I have loved it with all of my pregnancies including this one even though i'm only about 6wks right now!! I have had fairly easy pregnancies (except my miscarriage )

kit_kats_mom replied: 50/50. I love the looks from other moms and the pampering but I'm to the really uncomfortable point now. None of my clothes fit, my belly skin feels like it is literally going to split open any second, I have wicked heartburn, I'm tired, can't pee...whaaaa, whine, bit**, moan.

I know the end result is worth it but I could really do without the last month KWIM?

momof2girls replied: I loved it up until the last month! lol

akbutterfly83 replied: I voted other, cause I loved most of it, until now, cause of the waitting, and the uncofortable(speling) nights..... and i didn't like the morning sickness, other then that it was great....
