I completely enjoyed my pregnancy and it was pretty uneventful until labor. I was induced a week late and went for 2 days before I delivered my 8 1/2 Lbs son without an epidural. That was the hard part. I had back contractions the whole time, they never came around to my belly. Partly because of this no one was able to get the needle in to give me an epidural. I had 2 specialists try 8 freezings and 8 attempts with the epidural needle. Another medication they were going to try giving me had just been taken off the books and they weren't allowed to give it anymore. They gave me the max dose of gravol and demerol and I don't remember a thing for about 4 hours, none of the pushing, none of the swearing I apperently did, none of the way out there things I said to my nurse, my mom and my husband. I don't remember delivering my son at all except that it hurt like hell and I had all my feeling back when it came time to stitch up the tear in my perineum my son's big head gave me. My husband said it looked like I was in a lot of pain and didn't want to have anymore children if it meant he was going to have to see me go through that again. We are trying to conceive our second baby now so I guess he got over that as he keeps talking about the kids now instead of just our son. I loved being pregnant and I miss it now. I am looking forward to the next one. And just maybe one more after that, depending on finances of course.

I threw up for 9 months straight with my first, lost 30 lbs. from my pre-pregnant weight, and developed pre-eclampsia. I threw up for 8 months with my second, had a month reprive right in the middle. Wound up losing close to 20 lbs from my pre-pregnant weight that time. Pregnancy and I just didn't get along too well, I had many other complications as well, and feel very blessed to have the 2 wonderful children I have.
Labor was, however, a piece of cake (compared to the pregnancy). About a 12 hour l+d for 1st, 6 hours with the 2nd. Had an epidural for both labors as well--which I HIGHLY recommend!!!

I enjoyed every single thing about my pregnancies, except the constant need to urinate. Labor was incredibly painful, but more exciting than painful, so it worked out. I loved everything! Well, my second baby was a c-section, so I hated that...I wanted to deliver him vaginally like my first and watch in the mirror as I pushed him out, but things took a different turn. I really miss being pregnant.

I had a tough pregnancy but I did enjoy all of the kicking and stuff. It felt so special to have a baby inside of me moving around.
I really really enjoyed the birth of my child. I was dealing with some of the dumbest nurses on the planet but it was great. My doctor, who I didn't like, went home for the weekend and I got the best doctor in the world to deliver my little girl. She was so supportive and made the whole thing easy on me. My epidural came out to but the thought of having my baby in my arms kept me going. It was the best experience of my life.

I am enjoying my pregnancy in a way. I haven't been trough labor yet because I'm only 33 weeks. It's fun to a certain extent. My hair and nails are growing like wildfire!

I enjoyed certain parts of my pregnancy...like listening to the heartbeat, ultrasounds, feeling my babies kicking but other than that it was pure hell...i was pregnant in the summer and threw up the WHOLE 8 and 1/2 months i ended up being prego and had twins inside me so it was very tiring
No labor for me...C-section.... :)

pregnancy is enjoyable cause you become a mother, and realize there is nothing better than holding your own child in your body. the love and relationship you develop with the kid in the body is immense. Labor is painful therefore you could try the cesarean section but i would recommend natural birth since the pains you feel would connect you further and take you closer to the baby.

I enjoyed my pregancies, only because my husband spoiled me, and I was allowed to eat anything I wanted. I absolutely HATED labor though. It was so painful. I had an epidural for my first 2 children. But when I went in with my 3rd I was already dialted to 10 and couldn't get it. I went au naturel. It was HORRIFIC!
