Do/Did You Enjoy Being Pregnant?

[Tara & Liam]

I posted 'No'. Even though i loved being pregnant, i hated the sickness and the blocked nose and the constant cold for the whole nine months. the odd day where i did feel okay, i loved it.

i think i loved the idea that i was pregnant.

In hindsight I loved being pregnant although I didn't love the heartburn or the nasty things that came with it I loved the closeness of the baby and every time he moved in me was a novelty. I never grew tired of that.

I love it and hate it - I love seeing my body change, having scans, checking on baby's development every week, being a member of an exclusive club and all the attention I'm starting to get........but I hate the sickness, tiredness, irritability, worry, the fact that I can't drink or smoke or stay out dancing til 3am....and I'm soooooooo impatient, I hate counting every day!

But I'm only just into 2nd tri so I'll answer this again in 6 months' time

I don't enjoy it yet, but I think that once I start showing and feeling baby move I will enjoy it.

Yes and No.

I love seeing him move and feeling his kicks, and I can't wait to meet this little man who thinks it's playtime at 11pm.

I'm not so keen on heartburn, nausea returning, pelvic pain, tiredness and everybody's thoughts on how fat or not fat enough i am.

I don't like to say it but I'm not enjoying pregnancy at all. This is coming from someone who used to want about 5 babies!
I don't think I want anymore and am going to take extra precautions to make sure it doesn't happen after this one is born. I guess the fact that I haven't had the easiest of pregnancies doesn't help, and I guess if I were to have another one everything would be fine but I just don't want to take that risk. But I'd probably change my whole opinion when this one is born and I hold her for the first time.

I loved the exhileration of growing a baby but HATED my first pregnancy, all the rules and appointments, people telling you what you do, touching you and all the stories about how hard it is to be in labour and then to have a baby to look after. Having to be in hospital everyday then having to sleep there for weeks due to pre-eclampsia. Then having to leave your baby in scbu for a month.

Second time no pre-eclampsia but SPD so being unable to move without excruciating pain..blah..blah..blah...but

I'd do it all again tomorrow

yes i enjoyed it very much. until i was 39 weeks, and was hot and fed-up!

i enjoyed it alot more first time round if im honest. Everythings new, you get lotsd of attention/help. etc. This time round its not all new and i have a very VERY active nine month old to chase around the place, i dont get half as much help as i did firt time round! I feel like ive been pregnant for about 2 years. Cant wait not to be anymore!! lol

i hated pregnancy with ds and vowed not to have anymore, after spd, spots, serious pmt and a 33 hour lsbour that involved a huge episotomy and long painful healing process and pnd. Uh uh, I swore never again!

But my friend had a baby girl and I was so broody, I was pg before my mates daughter hit one month old!

Thos pregnancy was easy and relaxed and np problems and although it was hard looking after a lively 3 yr old it was managable and the birth was very natural and uncomplicated and Ive never been happier in my life.

No more now though till im in my 30s, i had a scare today and its really put it in perspective that I dont want anymore till im older.

I loved it until I was overdue and I just wanted to scream as everyone around me was giving birth! Even Britney Spears had her first before me But I'm loving being pregnant again even though I don't really feel pregnant to be honest. I want my bump!
