Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

LOVED it, LOVED it, LOVED it!!!Descriptive enough?

Some parts were tougher than others, but I really did cherish just about every moment of both of my pregnancies. I can't wait to do it again, but at the same time want to wait a nice long while--I know it will be my last so I don't want to rush through it.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

Besides the 12 weeks on bed rest, 8 weeks of itching and being diagnosed with Cholestasis, I LOVED being pregnant.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I loved being preggo

I miss it some days

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

had a really rough pregnancy, has m/s the whole 9 months- it was so bad, DH and i even considered stopping after we had our DS b/c we both didnt know if we could go through it again. However, i had an easy and quick delivery and now have a WONDERFUL little boy so i think i would be willing to take the chance (of another rough pregnancy) and TTC #2 in a couple years.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I had really terrible back pain and I was seeing a PT twice a week and a nutritionist once a week.

Other than being big as a house, miserable and in a terrible mood, with lots of pains, it was OK

I can't say it was horrible, because thankfully the baby and I were both healthy

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

My first pregnancy was ideal: no morning sickness, very rarely tired, didn't show until very late in pregnancy, no medical complications (except for spotting during the first tri) BUT yet I didn't enjoy being pregnant at all. Mainly because I'm vain.

My current pregnancy has been pretty smooth too, but again, I'm not enjoying it at all for the same reasons. I find myself counting down the days until I get my bod back.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I absolutely loved being pregnant. I truly did not have a rough time at all, barely no M/S just feeling nauseous and then at the end just feeling anxious to have the baby. I can't wait to be pregnant again.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I enjoyed it. I was hardly sick and I LOVED feeling every move he made and my goodness DS was a "kicker".

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I still cry sometimes because I miss being pregnant. It was a wonderful 9 months.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I had a very bad experience, I had m/s for the first 5 months, In my fourth month I had to have surgery to have a cerclage put in and was on strict bed rest until 35 Weeks, went to 4 Dr's a week and was in the hospital hooked up to an IV every other week for an overnight stay, to do a fetalfibronectin (sp) test, and was given horrible medicine to stop the contractions, but other then that I loved when she moved, kicked and I loved seeing her in the sonos.. The only bad part about delivery was that the cord was wrapped around her neck I had to wait until after she got out NICU to see her..

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

My Pregnancy was horrid. I enjoyed the last few weeks of it believe it or not but that was it. There were a few times I honestly cried that it wasnt worth it ( but Now I know it WAS). I was very very sick through most of it, on an IV infusion pump for over 4 months and was just plain sick.

So I wish I could have enjoyed it, but now its all worth it and I dont regret any of it and its just what I had to do to get my angel here.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I loved every single minute of it and I can't wait to be pregnant again. I thew up every single day but after a few weeks it wasn't a big deal.

I would say that I had a fantastic pregnancy and I never complained, but my husband and work colleagues might think differently...

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

I don't think I have strong feelings either way. I guess I have to say I didn't mind being PG. As another poster said, there were difficult days, and there were easy days where I just felt like I was glowing. The last few weeks for me were excrutiating, but I'd still do it again.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

Gotta say I loved being pregnant w/ my first.

The second (twins) my first trimester was horrible. I was sick 24/7. But, once that was over I was thrilled to be pregnant.

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

i had a rough last pregnancy.. my placenta started to break away from the wall at 25 weeks and i was bleeding for a few weeks .. the threat of delivery was very real.. then i started contracting at 28 weeks and ended up on terbutaline.. i continued to contract throughout the rest of the pregnancy and delivered at 35 weeks..

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

i had asthma, preclampsia, big time bloating, legs would give out after walking half a block, a few nights of hosp stays were terrible, blah blah blah.. i want another one! ;)

Re: Poll... Just wondering what your experiences were with being pregnant!

Looking back on my pregnancy I would say it was not so bad, but then I remember something about it specifically and I shudder.

I had a rougt pregnancy...especially my 1st and last trimester, plus i was high-risk so I never felt "comfortable" that everthing was going to be okay.

The exhaustion in my first trimester was brutal. There were days I could not function because of it. My 2nd trimester was really the only time I enjoyed because by the time i got to my third I was HUGE and really uncomfortable and had to pee about every 15 minutes with extreme pressure down there.

I do believe we forget all these things though when we see our children because I honestly can say I look forward to being pregnant again (if we ever decided to have more).
