Easy or Hard pregnancy so far?

I'm hoping my labor goes as easy as my pregnancy has! The worst I've had was heartburn and tiredness. A little nauseous in 1st trimester that made me lose weight but no puking. Im just trying to keep my weight steady.

I'm told I look 6 months, barely. There are people still asking if I'm pregnant because they heard it from someone. Lol their faces are priceless when they hear I'm starting my 8th month!

No stretch marks yet. (White ones from when I was young. I gained weight too fast back then. :() none from pregnancy though.

Who has had what happen? The good and the bad?

Hi all I'm 30+3.  My first 3 and a half months I could only eat soup and cereal.  I could not eat chicken and still can't eat a lot of it now.  I had terrible nausea to the point that I had to take medication.  I have not been able to eat fried foods or sweets which is a good thing I guess.  I lost 8 pounds and did not gain them back until my 7th month.  I have indigestion everyday literally but my ob prescribed something so that's gotten better.  Bright side I am all belly and have no stress marks.*knocks on wood* My skin has been cleared than ever before.   I haven't had any problems sleeping until last week.

I'm 33 weeks now. Have had ups and downs but overall nothing major wrong or bad.
First few months was vomiting with morning sickness and now I have started getting around 3 headaches a day, not sure why. Had to go to labour and delivery once due to high blood pressure but everything turned out fine. It's hard to slow down coz I don't want to put on too much weight but my body is struggling more. I have put on 18kg but my Dr don't care.
I have bad hips before pregnancy so I go to physio twice a week and walk 2 to 3 times a week for fitness and sanity.
I'm ready to have my little girl, 7 weeks if on time, which we all know it prob not going to happen. Here's hoping.

I am 32 weeks and although pregnancy is a great event mine has been hard. In the first 5 months I couldnt eat, think about eating, or even smell people eating. I ended up losing 30 lbs.
In my second trimester I was in and out of the hospital 3 times and as a result had to b e put on 7 different medications.
Now In my 3rd trimester things are getting much better. I can now eat and haven't been to the hospital in months. Although I did have to stop working due to nearly fainting during almost all my shifts. I still feel blessed to have my little prince on the way. I'm sure when I see his face ill forget about it all :)

I don't know what to expect either. But I will be going natural because I hate needles. Hubby wants me to get epidural so I'm not screaming at him. Lol he hates seeing me in pain so it may be harder for him to watch than anythig. if I'm in pain it makes him cry sometimes.

I'm 32weeks, pregnancy has gone well so far. only bad heartburn, but it's calmed down at the moment. no stretch marks yet (also only small white ones from when i was younger). gained 10kg's (22lbs) so far. sleeping has become uncomfortable and i'm kind of hoping baby comes early. hope labor goes well, i have no idea what to expect, but keep telling myself is going to be fine. just started packing my hospital bag (know it's early days, but atleast i'll be prepared)
