Girls..share your best and worst expeirences while pregnant. (and whatever else you want to add)?

Answer 1

I am carring my third baby, due in March, It wasn't until this pregnancy I realised how amazing pregnancy really is, and I keep reminding myself that I have to enjoy evry part of pregnancy. I think its more because I hope this is my last, and I just can't seem to keep track of how far I am, the weeks go by like days. Its proberly because I have 2 toddlers to run around after.

With my first pregnancy, it couldn't go fast enough, I knew everyday how far and what was ment to be going on, I found out I was pregnant at just over 9 weeks, and the weeks went very slow. I had a wonderful pregnancy, no morning sickness, the pains were minamal. Labour was long, only 9 hours but it was easy, I had the labour and birth I wanted, I was able to have a water birth and slept during contractions, all drug free so I was very proud of myself. The only problem was I can't remember what my son looked like the first time I saw him as I lost alot of blood which complactated things, I was unable to breastfeed after 10 hours as I would pass out while feeding which was very dangerious.

My daughters pregnancy was another easy pregnancy which my patner was wonderful so it was stress free, my son was at a wonderful age and understood all about his sister growing inside me, I shared my pregnancy with my partners sister as our due dates were at first only 2 days apart but after a falling out with her, her date changed to be about 3 weeks ahead. At 36 weeks I went into pre-labour and the doctors were clueless on what was happening, that drove me crazy. My daughter was breech until 36 weeks and finally when she tried to turn she seemed stuck so we had to help her around, Once upsidedown, I felt very energetic, nesting like crazy. At 36 + 5days my waters broke, I wasn't worried at all as I though I had at least 6 hours before birth, my patner on the other hand came home about an hour os so later and freaked so he took me to the hospital and rang his mum to pick my son up. My sister inlaw had been up to the hospital a few times that night and mum rang the family and told everyone her daughter was in labour. the next day she rang everyone to tell them her son had had his baby. The labour was shocking, very quick and so the pain was more then first time, I remembered the birth and so asked for painkillers, by the time the painkilers arrived I was ready to push. Labour from start to finish was 55 minuets, the fastest the midwifes had delt with. Alot quicker then I expected.

Now my daughter is nearly 2 and Im very scared abou birth this time as I have no idea what to expected, My pregnancy has been completely different and I had the morning sickness, backache, sleepless nights its a real rundown, I took my other pregnancys for granted this time im paying for it. Best wishes.

Answer 2

Worst experience: 3 solid months of morning sickness

Best experiences: Hearing the baby's heartbeat, seeing the baby on the ultrasound (and getting pictures to share with others), feeling those first kicks, watching body parts move over your stomach when the baby is big enough.

The far best experience: Delivering the baby and meeting the baby for the first time!

Answer 3

I was extremely sick the first 5 mos with my daughter. In and out of the hospital with dehydration, couldn't even keep water down. I was pretty much in bed the whole time. I lost a lot of weight. After I started feeling better, I couldn't get enough food in me! I am a personal trainer so I've been 110 lbs all my life, I was up to 160 before I gave birth...so full of water and bloated it was terrible! I didn't take any drugs in the delivery room (tried to tough it out) that was dumb!! I wish I would've now. But, despite all of this, I have a wonderful 1 1/2 yr old baby girl that is my world. I would do it all again for her!

Answer 4

The worst ..
I was pregnant at 18 years old and had to use the "Charity Hospital" (Parkland in Dallas) for my Maternity care.
To make a Horrible/Long story short..
I called the hospital and told them something was wrong. I had bumped my belly very hard (serving the Drive Thru at McDonald's) and the Baby was moving erratically. I was told to wait the three days until my scheduled appointment for a check up. When I went in I was examined and (after a very horrible exam) told , very bluntly that they thought my Baby was DEAD. But they had to check with a Doctor. It got worse! She was wrapped in her umbilical cord and had strangled.
Not very short Huh?
Bad times.

Good times!!
I waited 10 years to try again.
I now have 3 very healthy sons. They were all born vaginally at an average of 10 lbs. each. I gained 50 lbs. with each child and looking at me from the back you could not tell I was pregnant. From the front I looked like a MACK TRUCK!
I am now 45 years old, 5'11 and 160 lbs. I can still wear the jeans I wore in High School!!

Answer 5

Well so far (I have 6weeks left) the best parts are feeling the baby move and wactching my stomach flip flop, i crack up everytime I see it. and we got a 3d ultrasound and that was just amazing. It was so cool to see my little guy inside! The worst part is all the freekin waiting! I want him to come out already so I can cuddle and love on him! Now that Im so big im really uncomforatable and that sux, im lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a night. how am i supposed to build up my sleep bank if I cant get comfy enough to sleep now... life is so unfair :)

Answer 6

When I was pregnant with my son I almost lost him at 29 weeks due to placental abruption, but he is now a totally healthy 2 year-old with no delays at all.

I found out I was pregnant when he was about 16-18 months old, but unfortunately I lost my baby girl at 21 weeks on Aug 11 (Day after son's 2nd b-day) due to Incompetent Cervix (Due to the rough birth with my son)

Answer 7

Worst would be giving birth. It is a beautiful things but it HURTS. Best is always feeling the baby move inside you. From the little flutters to the big kicks.

Answer 8

Best: Watching her move around. It was so funny to watch my entire stomach move around, kinda like alien. Oh, and the fact that I could brag about never having morning sickness.

Worst: The recovery after giving birth. She was stuck in my pelvis, and they actually had to pull me apart. I was in extreme pain for 6 months, really wish I would have gotten a C-section.

Answer 9

the best was when i found out i was definitely pregnant and my baby shower. i was so huge and so many people around me. i didn't have a big wedding but i had a huge baby shower. i got so many well wishers.

the worst was when i was in labor and didn't know, if it weren't for my mom, i would of had that baby in an arkward position in my room. the second worst was that i was getting big in the summer, so i was hot as hell.

Answer 10

Well I don't know if this is best or worse -
With my first born I craved anything with marinara sauce - and my second it was pineapple, carrots, and peanut butter. Everyone said because I was so little I would have them both Cesarean - but both were born naturally, with no drugs.

I say pay attention to your body, and go from there.
