Oh and sex life.... What's that? :) I'm sure my husband is HATING this pregnancy! Poor guy! Very supportive! I don't think anyone has to love being pregnant. That's like saying you always have to like and get along with your husband (b/c you married him! We are only human and have emotions! :) I hope everything goes well for you all and your families!

I was very lucky and have had easy pregnancies so far. My daughter's birth was not so pleasant as I ended up with a csection that didnt go well. After 1st tri I feel great. I'm 18 weeks now. I felt great even at the end with my daughter. I had a miscarriage with my first so it was a slap of reality that made me not take anything for granted. With that being said if I was pregnant for the first time and had horrible morning sickness and swelled up and seriously was miserable... It's understandable to not like it. The women that hate being pregnant are not any less of a mother than those who love it! My coworker hated it as she was sick her whole 9mo. She loves her daughters and would have tried again for a boy if her husband wanted... But he hated it! Great mother though!

It took us a long time to get pregnant and it was very stressful and upsetting, but being 20 weeks in 2 days I have to say I LOVE my pregnancy and all the changes and seeing how fast my baby is progressing is so beautiful. The first 5-8 weeks my morning sickness sucked and I was in a lot of pain but luckily it ended quickly. I've been able to feel my baby and nothing has made me so emotional and so happy at the same time. My husband and I have become so much  closer and much more in tune with one another :) sex life is still great and havent missed a day ;) my baby is a lil miracle and im so blessed to have it as good as I do...and thank the baby I still have a beautiful bump with NO stretch marks, I hope it lasts. Plus my mind set has changed a great deal and I have sacrificed alot for my pregnancy but so glad I did, it was all worth it the  moment we seen it the first time and both me and my husband had tears and yet the cheesiest grins EVER! Lol! Hope you ladies can cheer up and have a good one :)) you cant ever get these lil precious moments more than twice!! Each is unique and special!!!

Yes! I agree it's a sacrifice! But for some women love it and some hate it! I never feel good, Nauseous, pains, etc. Yeah we go through all of this for a reason but everbody  has different experiences with being pregnant me personally i HATE IT!! But i know once my baby girl is in my arms it would be worth it! This is my second btw & they both were horrible pregnancies.

Exactly! :)
For women in our situation there is no better feeling than being pregnant when we're told for years that it will never be possible. Being cranky about it or wanting to say it s*cks would be like slapping (insert deity here) right in the face and saying "Thanks for the gift but F you for making it a miserable one." You can't have your cake and eat it too. Pregnancy is what you make it and for me it's the most wonderful and beautiful thing in the world. Who effing cares what I look like? Who cares about stretch marks and being able to fit in to the cutest things. Those are all shallow, vain excuses and have nothing to do with the baby... no offense meant by that it's just my opinion. I could really care less about any of that. I'M HAVING A BABY!!!!! :D

Then don't get pregnant... Pregnancy is a blessing, creating a life.. A person isn't suppose to be easy, there are people who will never have the gift to experience is, be thankful and find the good in it.

I can relate to you KieaRai. I was also told that I couldn't, well actually had no chance at conceiving. It shocked me when I got my first positive. My pregnancy has been wonderful.... even with the morning sickness, the fatigue, the indigestion, anemia, nasal congestion and swollen feet.

Coming from someone who was told she'd never conceive, I love it. I've been with my husband 5 yrs now and had given up trying to prove the doctors wrong. I was depressed and then BAM! Helloooo baby! I feel like crap but I love the sickness and the cramps. I love the fatigue.  This may sound weird but every time I throw up I cry and laugh at the same time bc it hurts but it makes me so happy bc I know I'm only doing it bc the baby is making me. I guess it depends on your situation. *shrugs* I look for cute things to buy and am constantly giggling at nothing. For me, it  IS glamorous... I love what's happening to me 100 percent.

I'm enjoying my pregnancy so far. Maybe it'll hit me in the third trimester and I'll end up singing a different tune:). This is my first pregnancy.

First pregnancy is usually the easiest.. with that being said im having my third and im Just down right miserable. Everybody assumes pregnant women are happy & go lucky, but let me tell you... I sure in the hell aint. Im in pain 24 hours of the day. Sleeping/eating/moving have become a chore almost because everything hurts. The SPD pains are the worst. Just when I thought that it was as bad as it was going to Get..my baby dropped & engaged into my pelvis where he is just sitting. Lol I can't take it anymore. Im irritable constantly, got a million things to do & ZERO energy because my two boys 6 & 2 suck all my energy up like little vacuums. If these Next 18 days don't fly by idk what I'll do. Thank God im getting my tubes tied. On the bright side I can't wait to hold my precious baby boy.

Hate being pregnant! Had the worst morning sickness for the first seven months. My belly is huge, worst stretch marks I've ever seen. Can't drink as much coffee as I'm used too. My fingers and feet are swollen. I'm two days over due and seriously just want my baby out of my body. I think everyone who says being pregnant is the most amazing experience ever. Is lying. The only amazing part about being pregnant is the after pregnancy part. When the baby is finally here. Which at this point I feel like it's never coming.

I do not enjoy being pregnant either. This is my second and my first was ten years ago so I don't remember all the details of that one but I know I hated it. This time I had morning sickness and depression in the first trimester along wih indigestion and bad constipation. My mood has gotten better in the second and I don't have nausea anymore but now I have hypoglycemic attacks almost every day and my doctor doesn't really help me deal with them. I've rearranged my diet around my blood sugar but it doesn't help much. I'm terrified of gaining too much weight. I know the weight can be lost but the stretch marks and cellulite from gaining too much will never disappear and I have plenty of both from my first pregnancy. My boobs are enormous which is fine for now but after I'm done breast feeding they're going to shrink and deflate. I always feel weak and faint because I have extremely low blood pressure. And I feel resentful towards my fiancé because he doesn't have to go through any of this and I'm not doing this just for me, I'm doing this for us. Yet he has no sympathy or compassion for what I'm goin thru. I clean houses for a living and it's getting very difficult for me to do. We are also doing home renovations which I can't help with. I hate feeling useless and I don't like sitting around. The weather needs to get more springlike ASAP! But the summer is going to be a big sweaty swollen ordeal for me anyway so..... Lol
