From the minute I found out I was pregnant until this day (32 3/7 weeks) Everything has been so simple. I have gained 19lbs, I never had morning sickness and my baby boy is healthy and moves around all the time. If my belly wasn't sticking out, and I didn't feel the baby move, I would never know I am pregnant. It seems too good to be true! I went to the doctor today and I measured 32 centimeters and I gained my 2 lbs for the two weeks. My husband and I are making bets on how the labor and delivery is going to go! Has anyone else had a easy pregnancy like this, and if so, how was your labor or what are your plans for labor and delivery?

"I never had morning sickness and my baby boy is healthy and moves around all the time. If my belly wasn't sticking out, and I didn't feel the baby move, I would never know I am pregnant"
I feel like I wrote that! Yes, I'm having a boy, I hope he'll be healthy and if he wasn't moving most of the time, I wouldn't have known I'm pregnant!
I heard all these stories about moody, miserable pregnant women, who pass out and throw up all the time and I'm very happy I'm not one of them!!!
May be because I had a m/c in the past, may be because I feel so blessed with that pregnancy... or because I'm only 17 weeks... I don't know what it is, but I feel happier than ever and if I didn't want to see my baby so badly, I wouldn't mind being pregnant forever:)))
Congrats on your pregnancy and wish you an easy labour!!!

It was easy going through my first pregnancy ( except for bein put on bed rest for 11 weeks due to early labor). I wasn't sick at all, in fact i didn't evn find out till I was 15 weeks along, ,y labor was easy (epidural) but the delivery was a nightmare (forceps, episiotomy an hour of pushing). my second pregnancy was a nightmare from the start. i was sick day and night for 4 months then just sick once or so a day, I was in intense labor for 4 days, (i eventually got an epidural a couple of hours before i had him)but the delivery was a cinch. I pushed for 6 minutes and out he slid. Either way i would (and plan to) do it again. Good Luck.

OH i LOVED being pregnant until it was close to time to have the baby. As far as the labor goes though i was one of the lucky ones. My first 2 labor/deliveries were 6 hours long, 3rd pregnancy my labor was 4 hours long, my 4th was only 3 hours and 25 minutes (and he was HUGE he was 9 lbs even) my 5th one was only 4 hours long. I feel VERY fortunate that i didn't go through hours OR days of labor, and that ALL of my deliveries were natural and not cesarean. I would say your pregnancy is definitely a blessed one :) GL on the labor and delivery of your bundle of joy :)

I had a very very easy pregnancy, too (but I still HATED being pregnant! haha!) My labor and delivery was fairly simple once it started. I was due on July 18, 2006. On July 31, I was scheduled for an induction. My water broke on July 30, but I never had contractions, so they gave me pitocin. I ranged from somewhat miserable to very miserable for about 8 hours, then they gave me an epidural and it went fabulous from there! It really was a pretty easy delivery, comparatively speaking (not something I'd want to do often, though, needless to say). Baby was born on July 31. I was up as soon as the epidural wore off.
And then I ended back in the ER the day after I got out of the hospital because I was in such excrutiating pain and my meds did nothing. But it turned out okay. Really, the day I got out of the hospital and the day after were the worst.
Good luck to you! Hope things go as fantastically as your pg!

I think I felt ALL of those emotions. I was thrilled each time to be pregnant. Yet I was physically sick with all three of them. I loved feeling the baby move inside me, yet sometimes I just felt like taking my belly off so I could rest for a little while. I loved the connection I had with my baby, yet I couldn't wait for it to be over. Pregnant women are emotional rollercoasters!
I had three miserable pregnancies. With the last one, my heart kept racing to the point where I would almost pass out, and I had a hernia too. My labor plans went nothing like I thought they would, and I had 3 c-sections. But I must say, I have 3 gorgeous, wonderful children and I wouldn't change a thing.

WOW, you are so lucky!!! Mine was the complete and total opposite s much so that i really dont want to be pregnant ever again! Its ad because i would love to have more kids because i love my daughter so much and i love being a mom, im just trying to get over having to be pregnant again. I sure hope your delivery goes as well as your pregnancy has gone! My labor was alright...i was a week late, had an epidural, but only had to push for 18 mins.

I had a very easy pregnancy the only thing that complicated things was that I got gestational diabetes. Other than that everything was perfect. I wasn't even in labor for that long. They induced me at 11am broke my water at 1pm and by 9:30pm I had my daughter in my arms I hope my second pregnancy goes the exact same way!

I'm on pregnancy # 5.....and I enjoyed each pregnancy except for the nausea. I never actually vomited....I did gag often though......My labors were a breeze......Short and sweet because I'm an active person. My labors were natural. Yes they were painful, but doing it natural made it go quicker. I plan on doing this 5th and final pregnancy the same way if possible.

sounds great! I gained 18 pounds the first time, 20 pounds the second time. Every thing went perfectly, a girl and a boy. They are 22 and 20 now, absolutely wonderful individuals! I wouldn't trade one minute of it for any thing else in the world!

with my 3 year old, I had the prefect pregnancy. The Same as yours. No sickness or anything. I put on way too much weight, but besides that everything was great.
And the labour...
5 hours TOTAL!!
But I know people who have had perfect pregnancies, and horrible labours so don't get your hopes up!
