what were the best things about your pregnancy? I think pregnant women are beautiful but I heard some and I do mean some pregnant women dont feel that way about themselves they feel their fat an unattractive so what were the positive and pros of pregnancy? were you treated different by people when you were pregnant?

People are usually a lot nicer to you in public, so that is a good thing! I am 30 weeks though and ready to be done with pregnancy. It is hard on your body, and I can't wait to see my baby!

i have had people point and laugh at me which i wasnt expecting - i am quite thin with a big belly so i assume that is why they are laughing as i dont really find pregnant women funny.
i love feeling the baby move but it is getting harder to sit at work all day now - i am 34 weeks pregnant. fortunately i only have 2 weeks left of work.
i think 40 weeks will certainly be long enough and i will be well and truely over it by then although i didnt really feel very pregnant til about 25 weeks
finding out i am having a boy was probably the best thing - i really wanted to have a boy for some reason
the worst bit would be not being able to have a few drinks and the constant peeing and it is getting harder and harder to sleep now, but all worth it i am sure

To me the best thing about being pregnant was feeling my baby kick and having a good excuse for being "fat". I also had wonderful skin during my pregnancy which is great, i loved the whole pregnancy glow thing. The worst thing people did to me when pregnant is strangers automatically assumed that just because i'm pregnant they can touch my tummy. Sort of freaked me out sometimes. And I wasnt married so some older people sort looked at me shamefully which they shouldnt have because I am a wonderful mother without the help of a deadbeat dad.lol.

I was one that did not like being pregnant. I did not like being so fat. Don't think I'm a skinny minny either, I'm not. I probably weigh a bit more than I should. But, being very pregnant I did not like. I was proud of my before pregnant body.
The thing that annoyed me the most is how so many people (strangers) thought it was ok to feel your stomach and ask if it was kicking much.
These days people show their stomachs in half shirts and stuff the whole time they are pregnant. I couldn't do it. I hated maternity swimsuits. When you got out of the water, you had to wring out the front of it and show your stomach. I had a friend who was 9 months pregnant, huge and wearing a bikini. Not me.
I guess I was a prude when pregnant. I did not like showing my stomach. I was pregnant twice and probably have a total of 6 pictures of me pregnant. My kids now are 23 and 26 years old. I guess times have probably changed.
My opinion only, some of these pregnant woman are evidently very proud and still show their stomachs like they were skin and bones and had a flat stomach.

I felt beautiful. I also feel/felt more like a woman. You see, I'm very flat chested and have always been petite. My mom used to be worried I wouldn't get pregnant because she thought I was too small and unhealthy ... but it turns out I'm very fertile and plenty healthy. I've had two babies and there is a third on the way. Besides morning sickness I feel great.
I think some people don't treat me very well because they think I'm too young and that I'm irresponsible for having three children ... but they are bitter, judgmental people and I don't need to worry about what they think.

i loved feeling the kicks, then the squirms, and hiccups! oh the hiccups were my fav! um, the pro's to being pregnant? i could eat what ever i wanted, and NO BODY commented, i was always given a seat on the train, people dont push past you, they let you go first, and the smiles you get from strangers, normally you go into a shop, and get you get a "hi, how are you" you go into a shop pregnant, and you could be there for hours exchanging stories of pregnancy, birth, and the newborn. its an amazing time, i never felt fat or anything, i felt wonderful, and my husband loved my belly! the only con i have about being pregnant, is the up all night peeing! lol.

I still look the same as I'm only 11 weeks pregnant but I'm treated differently from people around me who know. They all treat me with more care and attention. The bad side of pregnancy envolves being tired, down, nauseated all the time, and of course moody and depressed too, but that's hormonal changes which nobody can do anything about.

I started showing really quickly both times. I felt awkward and heavy, sleepy, unattractive, bloated, and swollen too. My hands and feet swelled to enormous size--as in my legs really looked like piano legs! and I'm rather slender too. My belly stuck out like I'd swallowed a basketball and I was tired all the time. The good parts? Not much! The only really good part was that I could use the bathroom anywhere and anytime because people could see that I was pregnant...and I had to pee all the time too.

The best thing obviously is knowing you are growing a wonderful life inside of you. It is truly a miracle. I loved it when he started kicking (well, except when it hurt!), and would respond to touch and sounds while in utero. I was overweight to start with, and didn't gain much weight during the pregnancy (under strict doctor care, was totally healthy), but the body changes anyway. My husband's love and support made me feel totally "womanly", and that went far in helping how I felt about myself.

i feel fat and ugly when I am pregnant... I am moody, fat, i get pimples when I'm pregnant, my skin itches.. some hair falls out, I get tired and upset ealisily and for no reason, I get really dizzy and sometimes can't even go shopping without fear of fainting... so no, I don't feel sexy and I don't like being pregnant.. it is cool feeling the baby and it is kinda cool looking i n the mirror and be all 'wow, that is not fat, that is a baby'.. but I can't wait till it is born
