Answer 1

Pregnancy is terrible for me. Even tho both my pregnancies were planned. My sister swears that I am allergic to pregnancy.
I am pregnant for the second time and I feel like crap. I am having all sorts of problems and I had problems with the first one too.
I actually enjoyed being pregnant for the first time. It was exciting and I loved the thrill of having a little person growing inside. But for some reason I'm not enjoying this 2nd pregnancy. I just feel miserable and every-time the baby kicks, it just irritates me and sometimes hurts. (and yet I'm only 22 weeks along...) I know it sounds selfish, but I also feel angry that I cant just eat or drink whatever I want.
I want some rice wine so much right now...

After I delivered my first child, all I felt was confusion for hours. (The labour drug I had was too strong) I also experienced extreme post natal depression that didn't leave me until my baby was nearly 1 year old.

Everybody is different. For me right now, I'm falling back into depression from this pregnancy.
I wont be having a 3rd pregnancy, that's for sure!

It is the most amazing feeling to know there is another person living in you! My first pregnancy was not planned but from the second I knew he was there ... I was a mother. To see your tummy grow is crazy somedays you feel like you have grown literally overnight. Feeling my babies inside me is so wonderful it feels like bubbles at first then you can feel more defined kicks. But honestly I could tell you how it feels all day but it would never amount to what it would be like to experience it yourself! Hope this helps :-)

at first i was extremely fatigued. by the time i was 8 wks i was EXTREMELY sick. had to visit the ER and be hooked up to IV's a few times. around month 5 i felt the best i ever have in my life right up to the last few weeks of my pregnancy. i loved showing off my tummy.. i have always been a very tiny person, and my belly was HUGE.. i was stopped in public a lot, and people would just stare. i felt like an alien at times, but looking back at pics i DID look pretty rediculous. it was unreal. i had a cesarean delivery.. which was heavenly till i had to get out of bed. i then experienced the WORST pain of my life for a few weeks.

all in all i can say its def the best thing thats ever happened to me.

being pregnant is amazing!! i was fortunate and didn't have morning sickness with any of my pregnancies so i didn't feel crappy until i got to the last month. i got really tired and my feet, legs and ankles (my hubby called them canckles lol) swelled. you can't tie your shoe some days b/c you're just not comfortable but it is still so amazing to feel that little baby moving inside of you!! my husband loved rubbing my belly and feeling the baby move. after delivering the baby is rough. you're crotch is sore for a few days, your breasts swell and are very tender but when you look at the beautiful baby...it makes you forget about all of the bad stuff!!!!

Answer 6

Well i didnt think id be able to ever have kids after having lots of tests done they just said it will be difficult, then i fell pregnant earlier this year. At first its edxtremley ovwerwhelming and i felt frightened, then i felt really happy as i got used to the idea and i felt very nauseas. To know you have a baby in you is very beautiful but i have been very protective over myself i am always scared something bad is going to happen to me. now im 29 weeks and just feel ready to see him now, to be honest im getting really bored and really fat but know it will all be worth it in the end. It has totally changed me and i expect will continue to when he is born.

Answer 9

Well I have been pregnant 4 times, my first pregnancy was terrible, I had morning sickness 24/7 and everything made me sick, I carried the baby to 18 weeks but the baby had miscarried at 13 weeks and my body didn't reject it so I had to be rushed to have a D&C and they missed the lining of the placenta so that had to pass naturally and it was very painful until it did pass. This was a bad experance and scared me from wanting another baby.

My first born son was an unexpected but breezy pregnancy, it was morning sickness free, the uncomfortable pains and aches were very tiring and draining as I got bigger and I felt very unactractive as I forgot what it was like to be thin, I didn't feel I had the pregnancy glow, just a big fat belly, the movements were amazing to start to feel, then after a few weeks of feeling it I was over it as it was all the time and harder everyday I was only tiny but still felt like a whale, by week 34 I was ready for it to be over, couldn't wait and tried everything to bring labour on but nothing worked. When I finally gave up only 2 days before my due date I thught the baby would never come, and I went into labour, it was really weird I felt odd.This pregnany was acompaned by a DV partner and that made it alot worse. After the birth I felt a love I never though possible, everything was worth it even the major blood loss, as I had a beautiful healthy baby boy.

My daughter was completely differant, I was in a much better relationship and more in love with my partner then ever, when I found out I was pregnant it was a major shock, as it was unplanned. The pregnancy was fairly easy the pains were more in my ribs then down low like my son, It was wonderful having my partner fuss over my belly, he would talk to it and she would kick back in responce, I wasn't fussed like I was in the first pregnancy, it just seemed to go much quicker as I wasn't as worried about knowing everything and making the weeks drag out, The labour and birth wasn't what I expected as it was the complete oppisite, my water broke first not last and the labour was really quick lasting less then an hour, I expected 6 at leasted. I sisn't see my baby girl much in the first few hours as her daddy was so over the moon he cuddled her until he had to go. I felt depressed he had to go, as I hated been in hospital by myself, but everything was good I had another healty baby, it was like the first all over again.

This pregnancy has been alot differant, I am now 23 weeks (i think) I had morning sickness which scared me to thinking I would miscarry again, at 15 weeks I heard the heartbeat which was a huge relief and seeing the ultrasound was really exciting, We asked for the sex but they were unsure so it may be a girl but mum thinks its a boy going by the ring test. I couldn't wait to feel the baby kick and everyday I remind myself to enjoy the back ache and the sleepless nights (because baby thinks its play time) because I'm carring a beautiful baby, I know the end result so I don't want to take it for grantted as this will hopefully be the last, I love feeling the baby doing sumersults as I know everything is fine and its going so fast, this was a planned but not expected so quick after the wedding(the same week) I know its a baby of love, and I'm proud to carry my soul mates baby, it is every exciting and I am really scared about the upcoming birth, as I don't know what to expected.

Hope my story was to boaring or scared you off, been prgnant is wonderful if you look at it in a positive light. Note everything and enjoy EVERYTHING, the morning sickness the back ache, streching and all the fun parts, your creating revolution and in that is a beautiful piece of yourself and the person you love. Enjoy it as its worth it.
