Things you LOVE about being pregnant...

[Piglet's Mama]

...and things you don't love so much!

Things I LOVE:

Watching my bump grow - I think I actually look pregnant now!
Feeling the baby kick - it's so lovely and I'm feeling him pretty much everyday now
Seeing all my family & close friends get really excited for us

Things I don't love so much...

Feeling really tired, going to bed, then lying there for 2 hours
Having to pee ALL the time
Back ache, head aches, dizziness, breathlessness, feeling about 80 years old...

I would take all the bad stuff though as little one is SO worth it

Things I love:

Like you, watching my bump grow
Baby shopping (even if it is mostly window shopping at the moment!)
Just the general excitement of it all

Things I don't like so much:

The fact that I'm worrying so much and being a stresshead! (Hormones)
Having to wee ALL the time
Weight gain

ALL worth it though

*Again* Watching bump grow really starting to look and feel pregnant now!
Feeling my LO move about and kick
The general "pregnant feeling"

Loveeee feeling baby kicking and his kicks getting stronger seeing bump growing, and the baby shopping is good too!

Things I don't like are being tired, not being able to get comfy, and worrying about things going wrong. I hate that my boobs have got bigger. The good points make it all sooo worth it though x

Yes!!! He's a fitness freak and cheese is a huge no no cos Im trying to lose weight.... They Dont do proper cheese in Gambia, just stuff like dairylea (puke) so he thinks cheese tastes awful. I sneakily buy cheese, grate it and store in freezer next to frozen veg lol..... I LOVE cheese, mmmmmmm Canadian cheddar

 

[amandapanda]

can I be rude and ask why they hate you eating cheese ?

Not rude hun.....like Tracy M my hubby is into health and fitness and see's alot of English food as 'junk' - especially cheese which I love!! I did give it up when I was dieting but have been eating it again since pregnant - he knows not to argue with me when I'm pregnant but as soon as baby is here he'll be back on my case, lol xx

Awh bless them for being concerned about your health

Tracey, if you're suffering with sinusitis, try alternating hot and cold compresses on the bridge of the nose, worked wonders for mine!
