no judging, because everyone's pregnancy and experience is different, but overall, what kind of prego are you?

do you wish you were a bit different?

I was thinking about this the other day...and sometimes I feel like me acting like Super Woman comes back to bite me in the behind - because then it becomes expected of me to always plow through.

Where do you stand?

Did you start out as one and then morph into another?

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

It really depends what side of the bed I wake up that day.

I am afraid of a lot of things, probably because this is my first baby, so I think a ghost. I stopped doing certain things, like carrying laundry up and down three flights of stairs, since I got pregnant and in that way, I'm a princess.

I sometimes can do tons of things too. It really does change but I always keep my son's health in mind.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

I think I'm somewhere between Super Woman and Princess.

My DH pampers me without a doubt, and I LOVE it. But at the same time, I have no problem doing as much as I need to the rest of the time. (Eg. working and going to school --both full time.)

I enjoy being independent and doing whatever I can, but I will never turn down the pampering and will take it whenever it is offered, and thankfully DH offers it a bunch.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

I am a mix between Super Woman and Cindarella.

I am very independent person and this pregnancy has been amazingly good to me. The only complaints I have had so far is when I got the flu and the fact that I can't sleep on my stomach.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

Super Woman and other. Both my doctor and DH had to tell me to stop being so stubborn. I also say other because I feel depressed being pregnant--I don't like limiting myself and get really sad thinking about that I can't even do (what I consider) simple tasks anymore.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

Typically - Super Woman! I can do it all, and WILL do it all, and am determined to have no help!

But I think that is because I am a full time SAHM to my 2.5 year old. Because of that laundry, cooking, cleaning, and such all need to get done regardless of how I am "feeling" that day.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

I don't feel very different, and nobody treats me differently so I said Cinderella. I think if I tried to take it much slower I'd feel too guilty about not doing anything or even as much, esp when i still can.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

oh I'm a total princess. lol. I used to try to do it all (I hate asking for help) but ever since my 3rd trimester began I've been very firm on taking it easy! Of course I still clean & make dinner, but most of my free time is spent with my feet up. Luckily I have a DH who is all about helping out where he can. Chat Icon

I think I'm a combo of Princess and Pregnantzilla... but that latter is mostly at work where I find I have NO patience for frustrating coworkers!! AND I let them know it!!!

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

I'm probably a cross between a princess and a ghost. I probably would have been more active had I not had issues with the hematoma and then the marginal placenta previa. All I needed was for doctors orders to take it easy and not strain myself, and I'm not a fool, so I've listened. I still do the dishes sometimes, bend over to pick things up off the floor, cook, etc. but the heavy lifting and bulk of the cleaning has been relegated to DH.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

Trying to be Super Woman. I am very independent and hate having things done for me. But I'm learning that I have more limitations now. There are days when I try to do it all and burn out a lot quicker than I used to. DH has been WONDERFUL, pampering me whenever I reach a breaking point and even before I reach a breaking point.

Re: What kind of pregnant woman are you?

I am a mix between Superwoman and Princess. I have always had the independant attitude of I can do it all, so of course I still want to do it all and will when I feel good, but if I am not feeling great then I let myself get pampered by DH.

He tried to make me Princess but I don't have the personality to sit back like that, I need to get things done.
