Horrific morning sickness with my first pregnancy, from months 2-5,

light to mild on some days with this pregnancy mths 1-3, currently 27weeks.

Multiple leg cramps with this one, only 1 or 2 leg camps with the first pregnancy.

I was on complete bedrest with both of my pregnancies. I had black-outs and constant sickness. My first son who is now 2 1/2 was a natural birth he was over 10 pounds and 23 inches long. That was painful as heck. My second son who is now 7 months old was an early c-section beacsue of his size. He was born two weeks early and he was 9 pounds 12 ounces and 22 inches long.

I loved being pregnant, people treat you special and it's exciting to go to appointments and feel the baby kick and buy new suits and stuff for the baby. I disliked the heat as I was pregnant in the middle of summer and not being able to reach my feet or drink alcohol when everyone else was celebrating christmas and new years.

i loved feeling my baby in my stomoch,when you touch there feet or hands they take it away but then they do it again for you to touch it.... i hated standing up in the morning about when i was 7 months my feet where so shore in the morning i could walk... the way your stomach grows that its like a table for you... i dont enjoy being pregnan because you worry al the time is your baby okay he/she hasnt moved in a while are they fine did something happen.... ag no but when they come out its the best thibg that could of happend in the world... nothing comparce to that moment

Well, I'm new on here so heres what I love about being pregnant I'm 29wks along now. I love it when I can feel and watch my baby boy move inside me, no one ever told me you could actually see your stomach moving. I find it hilarious when Damon kicks my hand and I poke his little foot and he kicks me again like its a fun little game for him. :) What I hate about being pregnant, well I've had morning sickness this whole time, and to boot I have a soon to be ex-husband aggrevating me all of the time, threatening to try to get full custody but I know he can't, because he is the one who is unfit not me. I'm unemployed with no vechicle, and living back with my mom at the age of 26, how pathetic is that! But, I can thank my psycho husband for the whole bad situation. But enough about that, I can't wait to meet my little man in December.

I loved it when my son would move around and I hated the morning sickness, but I would do it all over again

Deborah - posted on 09/08/2010

What I loved most? hmm what a nice question. I loved feeling him move around.
What I hated most was my feet swelling, not bein able to get off the couch without help, not being able to breathe, my baby coming out via c-section was nice cause he was 10.5 lbs.

I loved not having my period...no heavy flow, no cramps, no pms! I hated the morning sickness and having to pee all the time. It also got old when ppl only wanted to talk about the baby to me. I started to feel like a walking ueterus! But my baby is about to turn 8 next month, and I appreciate all the positives he has brought to my life!

When I was 5months pregnant I got hit with really severe heartburn in the middle of the night but I had NO IDEA what the hell it was!! Doc just told me to get heartburn chewys but they didnt really help! I got it right up until I gave birth and continued to get it 8weeks afterbirth! Not a very good experience! And people kept telling me my baby would have heaps of hair but he didnt have HEAPS! I had morning sickness but I never vomited once I just had nausea and sever lazyness LOL! The morning sickness actually made me quit smoking, I felt too nausious when I would have a smoke and eventually I gave up as I would start gagging when I inhaled! My boys 3months now and I still dont smoke! In the last 3months I had really sore groin area when I walked! And I put on nearly 20kg! So I was really really body conscious when I was out in pulic, especially my ass! :( The worst part was the stretch marks! I got ALOT!! All over the front of my stomach, hips, inner thighs! GRRR Now my body is ruined! LOL. The best part was feeling him move inside me and pushing him out was a really good feeling as I had an epidural! It was nice to feel him coming out without any pain!!

I loved being able to feeli my little miracle kick me & get the hiccups. I loved the way my baby bump was so perfectly round. I felt beautiful even on my worst days. I hated that I would cry over anything. The thing I hated most about being pregnant is that I could maneuver myself very well during sex, I just felt big, ugly and awkward. On top of feeling like a washed up whale in bed my sex drive plummeted and the whole 9 months there was no orgasms, at all!! Frustrating!! The whole time I'm thinkin' I'm 19...this isn't supposed to happen until i'm like 70!! I also hated when people asked how the baby is doing...I have no idea!! I don't know if he's sick, growing, or sucking his thumb inside me. Thinking back to it now I don't really care, must have been the hormones. ha ha

i hated feeling humongous and my feet hurt and i couldnt sleep good either. i didnt have any sickness or breast tenderness at all

Keeshea - posted on 03/12/2010

hmm... that's a good question. I didn't like the severe morning sickness (for 4 1/2 months) or sciatic nerve pain (towards the end of the pregnancy). However, I did like feeling my child move inside of me, the way I looked (I was a beautiful pregnant woman), the feeling of excitment (that my husband and I created a new life), the closeness I felt with my husband, selecting a name for the baby, designing his room, looking for daycare and a doctor, etc. In a nutshell, I enjoyed being pregnant. It was wonderful. We plan on getting pregnant again soon (my son is now 9 months old).

My first pregnancy was great, a bit of morning sickness. Buy my 2nd wasn't too good. I carried quite low, got leg cramps at night, put on 25kg but I wasn't sick - just very uncomfortable. My boys are 10 and 13 now. Good luck.

Meghan - posted on 03/08/2010

I had all day sickness for 6 months, couldn't eat foods I normally loved, my son was right up in my ribs, hated being tired...I could go on and on about the bad things but I LOVED knowing that I had a little human growing in me. I loved feeling him kick and move around and responding to me talk to him...those things and then seeing my beautiful son out weighs ANYTHING bad I went through! Congrats on the new baby!

My first pregnancy wasn't too bad besides horrible heartburn taht made me want to puke all the time. And they switched my due date with my sisters due date cuz we were about 3 weeks apart so I carred my son for 43 weeks so I was gigantic and miserable by the end but my favorite part was feeling and watching him move. I got pregnant again when my son was about 7 months old. My second pregnancy was miserable for me. I had a traumatic delivery with the first in august had to have surgery due to that in january and got pregnant in march. so my second one was extremely painful and i was extremely exhausted with still having an infant to take care of plus being pregnant and in pain plus your normal housely and work duties. with both my kids i worked clear up until the day i had them. but i would still do it all over in a heart beat. those prescious little bundles are well worth all the misery that can go along with a pregnancy. congradulations and good luck

I pretty much hated my entire pregnancy. I vomited from the beginning until literally through labor. I got pre-eclampsia and was on bed rest for 2 weeks. I was so huge, 43 centimeters and was miserable. I worked full time until about 2 weeks before he was born. I did love the big belly and watching him move even though it was painful at times.


That being said...I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT!!!!!! Congrat!!!

Jackie - posted on 01/12/2010

I loved feeling my baby move! i also loved listening to his heart beat! when the geico comersials came on dantae (my son) would always move! he always had hiccups! i loved watching my belly grow when i was pregnant but its better watching my son now growing! i love my son!

Jackie - posted on 01/12/2010

i never had morning sickness, so that was great. i hated the back pain and leg cramps! but i also LOVED not having a period for the 9 months! i just had my first baby on halloween and right now i am still thinking if i want another baby! my fiance wants another one but i am not sure! if i do then it won't be for a few years!

Erin - posted on 01/01/2010

I was fortunate and did not get morning sickness with either pregnancy! So that was awesome! Of course feeling the baby move is the best, next to holding them and hearing "I love you mommy" :) The last month of course sucked because you are so huge and uncomfortable all the time! That was a little more difficult w/#2 but we just waited until Daddy was home before we would go anywhere because #1 would try to bolt and I couldn't chase him, so we also didn't go camping last summer because of this and that also was kinda lame, but this summer coming should be awesome w/2 kids!!!

I enjoyed knowing that I was growing a baby inside me. I would have a strong bond with my son. I enjoyed feeling the kicking and the mving around. What I didnt enjoy was getting fat, not being able to tie my shoes, not able to really do my hardcore excersie and the last was morning sickness. I was sick most of my pregancy.

Well I had morning sickness that lasted all day for the first three months of my pregnancy. That was sucky, very hard to work when your sick. But my absolut favorite part was feeling and whatching my son move in my belly. My husband use to paint my toes for me when I got to big and that to me was really nice to (hehe) he didn't mind it. The last three months of my pregnancy I had really bad heart burn and got my morning sickness back and was throwing up all nigh long so that was sucky. But the look of being pregnant was awesome and even giving birth wasn't so bad. Once we got to the end I was feeling like a balloon that need to pop but once it was over I had a lovely miracle. So I had the bad points all that sickness and the good points, but hard to say what I liked best. lol
