How was your pregnancy. Mine was great. Of course I had few complications like high blood pressure during my 8th month because of carrying twins. But on the whole, it was a great experience

I didnt have the best pregnancies no. My first daughter it was ok until 31 weeks and then I developed pre eclampsia, then when she was born she was really quite ill in NICU which was not an experience I ever want to repeat! My second daughter I wasnt well at all the pregnancy it was fine but my health wasnt very good and they knew I had a kidney disease but not what it was and they couldnt do a biopsy until she was born, I spent plenty of the pregnancy in hospital scans check ups etc and eventually they induced her early because it was just too much strain for all of us. Id not change a single thing though they were both worth every single second of worry stress and upset that we went through

Hi Kezabelle, I'm so sorry to hear that your pregnancy experience was so hard. You are right about how it's all worth every single thing we go through. My best wishes for your family and children. Be well.

I had always wanted twins. My pregnancy was great with very few problems. But at the last moment there was not enough water and they had to do a cs

I had always wanted twins too! I wonder how many people dream of being pregnant with two babies at once?

I'd have to say mine has been a breeze compared to some people I know. I'm at the end of the road (2 more weeks to go) but for the most part it was pretty easy. I did go through almost 3 months of morning sickness but healthwise I was great. I guess that's why I consider it an easy pregnancy...but as we all know if you have been pregnant, there is nothing "easy" about getting up from laying or sitting down. That's my current gripe lol.

I also had twins. Mine was great for the most part; I never had anything go wrong. I was exhausted though, by the end! I went 38 wks, and probably would've gone all 40 if my dr. hadn't agreed to give me a c-section!

Well I am a Man and Sorry I cannot comment much on Pregnancy. Nice to know that you have twins, are they identical. Did your high pressure cause you any trouble during pregnacy. Hey how old are you kids. I think its difficult to manage two of them at a same time, right?

Both of my pregnancies have been great so far! My first one ended with me giving birth to a beautiful 7 lb 9 oz healthy as a horse baby boy. My second one hasn't ended yet. I have 9 days left in it. (Approximately.) Congratulations on your twins :)

Congrats on your twins. I'm glad you had a great pregnancy. My pregnancy was great too. I loved being pregnant. No complications at all. I occasionally had some cramping but all I ever needed to do was drink some water and they would go away. In the end I was rewarded with the most beautiful, 7lb, 6 oz baby boy I've ever seen. Love of my life!

I had four pregnancies, my third was a miscarriage which was rough, but I know God had His reasons! My first pregnancy went really well - I was borderline gestational diabetes so I watched what I ate - but my daughter was born healthy after an 18 hour labor (my water broke). Then came number two - she actually came early I think out of stress because we had to take my oldest to the hospital because she had a slight seizure that morning from a high fever and ended up having pneumonia - she and my husband couldn't come with me to the hospital so he had to drop me off and as soon as I got there my water broke and the I had my daughter 2 1/2 hours later! I was 5 centimeters when I got there and was 8 within one hour. Then with my son I had to be induced because I was 4 centimeters for the longest time! For about a month, and then my contractions were hitting - but just wouldn't get dialated any further - so after 12 hours he was born healthy and happy. I thank and praise God for all my healthy children... they are truly a blessing in my life!

My first one was amazing. I loved being pregnant. Feeling the kick, knowing something was growing inside me, and random people coming up to me. I think that it was the most amazing life experience. My second one was good too, but my first was only 5 pounds and my second was 7 and like 23 inches long so it was A whole lot more uncomfortable.

I had a great pregnancy too :) . No morning sickness, not even a really big tummy. A lot of people didn't even noticed that i was pregnant. It was fantastic. Normally i have a bit of trouble with my allergies, but while i was pregnant i had no trouble at all, it was like they had dissappeared :p . Sadly they were back when my daughter was born, but it was nice while it lasted. ;) Also the birth was quick and without any complications. I wish that it could be like this for every pregnant women out there :)

Twins, wow! I've always wondered what it would be like to carry twins. Probably just like one, but doubled :) My pregnancy was great also. I enjoyed being pregnant so much! So many women complain the whole time and it becomes miserable for everyone that they're around. My pregnancy was very healthy and nice, although I did have morning sickness for 5 months, and I got carpel tunnel part way through that hurt pretty bad. But, over all I enjoyed my pregnancy very much!

I dunno whether i'd say either of my pregnancies were 'GREAT' - i am far too tired at the moment to say everything is great & at 8 months, i know it's to be expected! I was about the same with my first pregnancy! I haven't had any morning sickness with either pregnancies so i guess that's 1 thing i can say was great! I honestly don't really enjoy 'BEING' pregnant - well for the last trimester anyway, i have a bad back & hip from a car accident so that gets very well tested & is very painful, especially the last months. I think my favourite part of the whole experience is when the baby is born - no more carrying around all that extra weight & a wonderful baby to take care of!
