I just had my son a month ago and was so happy to get him here. I am 100 pounds been little my whole life. My mother was the same way. So for me it was having this weight on me. I never had been heavy in my life. So that was hard to get use to not being able to fit in my normal clothes but not being able to fit into pregnancy clothing. Another thing I hated was I was sick the whole 9 months so was ready to get him out and be able to eat. And the thing with sleeping I hear ya. When I was pregnant I was up every 1 to 2. Now my son sleep for 5 hours at night. Good luck it won't be much longer.

Constant nausea and attacks of heartburn have been the hardest part of pregnancy for me. I'm an emetophobic (phobia of vomiting) so its really hard for me to have to feel sick all the time. I'm 23 weeks now and I still feel nauseous! Nothing I try helps!
I'm also nervous about vomiting in labour.
The tiredness is hard too.
But apart from that its a wonderful feeling. When I feel my little boy (we know its a boy) kicking I feel so proud and such love for him I can't wait to meet him. i always thought I would never have kids so this has been so wonderful.
I don't mind being wrapped in cotton wool (In fact people aren't doing that enough for me! I wish they were as I feel so crappy that I could use some TLC) or not being able to wear certain clothes etc. That is not important.

Not sleeping was the worst. Followed by the worst heartburn I've ever had - and it lasted for over 20 weeks and continued for a year after I had my baby. I hated being fat, not being able to bend down to empty out the dishwasher, swollen ankles and feet (to the point that I ended up going to work in flip flops in the middle of winter because those were the only shoes I could get my feet in)...etc etc.
I was also looking forward to it all being over once I had my baby, but to be frank, I really missed the feeling of her moving inside of me and the sleep deprivation only gets worse once they're born.
One of the best pieces of advice that someone gave to me when I was pregnant was "Make sure you enjoy your first pregnancy and make the most of being able to pamper yourself - its the only one you'll be able to". How true - fancy feeling that that and having a toddler to look after! So although it seems miserable when you're going through it, actually on I'm sure you'll look back on this time with nostalgia one day!

I disliked - Heart burn, feeling huge, not being able to squeeze through small gaps or put shoes on, fatigue, checkups, worsening allergies, midwives, hospitals, needles, doctors, gas and air, morning sickness, "any sign of the baby?" questions, not being able to have proper sex, lack of sleep, long long long boring labours (3 labours, shortest was 12 hours, longest 36).
Good things - loved the births, had 1 amazing home birth, all fairly painless births, people doing everything for you he he, that 'looking forward to meeting the baby' feeling and getting the clothes and bags ready for the big day, getting big boobs ;) the scans and hearing the heartbeat, the euphoria after the birth and hurrah, the empty belly going back in again!!!

I really did love being pregnant, but obviously it's not all good! I had terrible morning sickness, and I lost 15 lbs and didn't gain anything till about the 5th month.
And I had recurring UTI's the whole time (something I've struggled with my whole life), and they can be dangerous during pregnancy, so I was constanty at the Dr, telling them that 'Yep, it's back again!'. Once, I even over-nighted at the hospital to get an IV of antibiotics.

I'm a mom - I really disliked not being in control of my emotions - crying for no reason, and then at times not being able to stop crying; moods swinging all over the place (bless my patient husband!), I already had insomnia, and this just made it worse. Good luck to you. Hope you don't go back to clubbing once you are a mom! Maturity is fun! Parenting is a blast! It's a natural high!

I loved being pregnant. Sorry! If I had to pick something that bothered me at all, it would have to be the fact that my allergies got worse each time (was always pregnant in the spring summer months) and the lack of sleep. Ofcourse the lack of sleep during pregnancy just gets your geared up for the sleepless nights after they are born! Good luck!

I mostly disliked having heartburns...all the time pretty much! And all the stretching of the skin, now have all the stretchmarks to show for it, very uncomfortable...but nothing of all the pain I´ve gone through with 3 babies can compare to actually have them with me! It´s only for so long you do go through a pregnancy, even though it feels like a life-time when you´re there...

At the beginning I hated the tiredness and the morning sickness that came at any time of day, hardly being able to eat or drink anything cause it tasted disgusting..... then the last month I felt like the biggest most gigantic beached whale with raging heart burn that anyone could ever wish to meet!!!!! Other than that it wasn't to bad!!!!!

I hated that I got so big I could hardly walk. I spent the last month lying like a beached whale in the backyard in the sun. The neighbors loved it. I was very fit when I got pregnant and my figure popped right back into place after my daughter was born.
