I always want to be a mom. And I never thought it would happen in this year. Being pregnant is not easy but I know it will be worth it when its time to deliver the baby. I have a lot pregnancy symptoms specially in my first trimester. It wasn't very severe though. I could say that it's up and down. I have days where I was feeling nauseous and bloated and there are days that I feel fine. Today I am on my 15th weeks. A lot of people said I am approaching the best trimester of pregnancy where I will feel better. I'm looking forward to that. Its also good that I have a very supportove and caring husband and mother in law. I am away from my country home which makes things a little bit of an adjustment. I am doing my best to cope and I will always be grateful about this blessing. How about you? Can you share me you or your spouse' experiences about pregnacy? Happy mylotting

Pregnancy for me wasn’t so great. My first for most of it was a typical a lot of morning sick at first off and on. But my daughter was a slow grower which meant a lot of visits and ultrasounds. We was induced early because she stopped growing at 34 weeks. I did spend 24 hours in antipartium for low aminodic fluid. Bed rest for 2 weeks and a set of steroids.
Second pregnancy was extremely rough we had 1 year old, I was told I had a miscarriage and then told I was still pregnant a few weeks later. I lost one and was able to carry the second baby to 36 weeks. I also was in bed rest with him starting at 32 weeks was in antipartium for 2 weeks, steroid shots also for him lots of ultrasounds. He came naturally on his one at 36.6 weeks.
My 3rd pregnancy not so rough at the being very mild naturally a 3 and 2 year old at the time. I had bed rest for 4 weeks, 16 weeks of contractions off and on but not going any where. He was also induced but at 38.2 weeks he was born 6 days before his sister’s 4th birthday.

Wow thanks for sharing your experience. I admire you for still pursuing upto 3rd baby even though your first and 2nd was so easy. So sorry about all the sufferings and discomfort you had experience but glad you are able to get through it. With your second pregnancy sorry to hear about the miscarriage but glad to hear you still get pregnant few weeks later. Congrats for your sucess in all your pregnancy journey. I can imagine how expensive ob visits are and including the fequent ultrasounds. Thanks for sharing I learn a lot from you. I am planning to just have one baby so I can work after few months.

@mayrah my first two we where on Medicare so the government paid for everything I didn’t pay anything. They where covered for the first 5 years of there lives through the government till we got our own health insurances. Our third we had insurance by then through both my husbands work. Insurance for the OB was actually very good and I had him after the first of the year which meant we meet our deductible for 2015 with in the first few weeks in to the year. That made my gallbladder surgery that I had 12 weeks after his birth for free.
