Ladies...enjoyed pregnancy or not?

I have been through one pregnancy, and I am 7 1/2 months through the second one. I have to say, I only enjoyed bits and pieces of pregnancy. Never the whole nine months. You spend the first few months sick as a dog-and able to smell everything under the sun. And you spend the last few months big, uncomfortable, and just plain miserable. Not to mention there are always unexplained pains! Sleep is never something to really look forward to during the last trimester, you can't ever get comfy! But, I love my daughter and will love the second one just as much, and it was worth every uncomfy moment!

Dear friend, I hope ladies may like babies, but they may not like to go through all those pains before giving birth to a baby. Moreover if being pregnant is something painless and pleasure giving I feel population rate in world would be very high.

I enjoyed it for the most part. I was very fortunate to never have morning sickness when I was pregnant with either of my kids. However, I did have a bad cold when I was carrying my first born. The darn thing lasted for weeks! I also had a terrible leg cramping with my youngest. The pain was some of the worst pain I've ever experienced! And of course trying to sleep during the last trimester wasn't fun at all. But I guess that's all a part of pregnancy. On the plus side at least it doesn't last forever! That, and it is definitely worth it in the end. Happy mylotting!

Frankly, I don't really enjoy to be pregnant. As I have to be very careful in many aspect since I am not alone and responsible for myself only. I have to be careful to my health, diet, sports, entertainment etc. And when my belly grows, I can't have a good sleep and I can't walk fast, too. And if you even vomit during your pregnancy, it will be very suffering. I love China

I loved both of my pregnancies and would do it again. I was only sick with my second child for a short time and couldn't drink orange juice because he didn't like it. I enjoyed all the cravings and eating. Never was uncomfortable, I made sure I kept flip flops handy and teddy bears around me. The teddy bears took the place of my pillows, but overall I can't recall being irritable or uncomfortable. As long as my food was prepared the way I wanted it, I was grrrrreat!

I had a hard time with my first and now with the third it is really kicking my butt! My second was by far the most enjoyable and I credit it to being in better shape.
