I hear women all the time saying how they love/loved being prego. I was never that way. With my oldest I didn't even start to bond with him til he was like 2 weeks old, my middle I just had to too early to realize I was even prego, and with my baby I was sick for the 1st 7 months and I was HUGE. The dr told me she thought I had a big baby but she wouldn't even guess on a weight. After I had him they called the recovery room and told me 10 lbs 8 oz. I was soooo glad to get that one out. I was never comfy. I was misrible with my baby. LOL Just wondering y'all opinions.

I think I didn't bond with my oldest til he was 2 weeks b/c I had him young. I was 17 when I got prego, and had him 2 months after I turned 18.

Mine has been up and down. There are times that I just love it and there are times where I want it all to be over with. I'm in the "get it over with" mood right now (38 weeks pregnant). It sooooo drives me crazy when women say, "I just loved being pregnant!" Actually, I think they are FULL of it! They forget about the morning sickness, mood swings, tiredness, fatness...
Being pregnant isn't always the "wonderful miricle of life" everyone says it is...sometimes it's a "wonderful pain in the A$$"

With my first I loved it. It was just a great experiance. I was 17 when I got pregnant as well and 18 when I had my first but I did love it and I loved having a new baby. I'm 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby and it's so different. I've been sick, had bad heartburn, can't sleep, and the list goes on. I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore with this one. I think I'm more looking forward to the actual baby then the rest of the pregnancy. I just want to see the baby and make sure it's ok and healthy. I miss the baby stage..my son is going to be four in two weeks..so I'm really looking forward to the baby stage again.

Oh, I loved, loved, loved being pregnant....feeling that baby move was the most incredible experience. I still miss it. I think I always will have a sentimental envy for other prego ladies. I never got very sick and just was all aglow for nine months. BUT, I was ready for it to be over by the 36th week or so. Mostly b/c I was so ready to meet my babies...fun, fun. Praise God for the exerience. What a miracle.

I am not one of the lucky ones who loves being pregnant. In fact I hate being pregnant. Of course I love my unborn baby and feel blessed to be able to have her but I have had morning sickness that was debilitating for the first 5 months and it has come back a little now in my ninth month. I have never felt this unsexy and and this lethargic all the time. I want my life back and to hold my baby girl in my arms. I am soo uncomfortable too. My poor hubby barely gets any sex from me and I miss it too.

I was like that with my first pregnancy. I was so sick that I hated being pregnant. And I was depressed after I had my daughter. This pregnancy I have been too busy chasing a two year old around to enjoy this pregnancy! Plus I have gained weight and not feeling very attractive.

I was sick for the first few months so it was hard to love that, but i LOVED knowing there was a little person growing inside me. Once the morning (or in my case all day) sickness stopped, I REALLY enjoyed myself. I felt great, I loved my little belly bump, I loved the way I looked and felt. I loved every minute of the rest of my pregnancy. Cant wait to have another.

Well, I have 5 kids. With the first one, I was so excited. I loved being pregnant. With my second one, I wasn't happy at all. I couldn't wait till she came out. The father of them 2 left me a week after I found out I was pregnant with 2 one. He did and said some nasty stuff to me. So I wasn't ever happy through that pregnancy. Then I meant a great man and we had 3 more. I was excited through my third and fourth. I loved being pregnant with them two. With my last one I was to busy to worry about anything. Two weeks after I found out I was pregnant with him, my husband was deployed to Iraq. So I was left with 4 kids and no family around to help. So I was too busy. I loved being pregnant with him too. I was so worried that I was going to have the baby with my hubby, But he came home 2 weeks before I had our son.
I love being pregnant so much. I would love to have another child. But hubby has put his foot down.

well i felt the same way with my first child - the not bonding thing. i thought u were suppose to just feel a natural love for the child but with me it felt alien. i mean i didn't hate him but it just took a few days for me to feel the love. the want of never stop holding him.
and i was not misable while pregnant. i never wanted to comb my hair though. and u tend to feel alone. but other than that i loved it. only the giving birth part i did not like!!!!

I loved the whole process & experience. It was amazing. But the things I went thru emotionally I would not do again.
