attention all mothers

1st trimester I was a mess. I suffered from morning sickness not only in the morning but all day! I can't keep a food down so I lost 10 pounds during those first 3 months of pregnancy. 2nd trimester, I am so at peace. I have no mood swings or morning sickness, I just crave for different kind of foods. But I make it a point to eat more vegetables for the vitamins. This is also the part where I would go to the bathroom to pee every 30 minutes, I can't sit long even when we travel to the grocery store. 3rd trimester, to torture began. My son was very much active inside my tummy, he would kick and roll around all day that I can't even sleep for a whole hour straight without feeling pain. Delivery, I labored for 6 hours and stayed on the Delivery room for 10 minutes because my son was so excited he exited my tummy is just 2 pushes. So how was yours?

i had terrible morning sickness when i was pregnant. it was so bad that i lost 15 punds in the first few months and had to be put on medication. i had a bad pregnancy in every way except for what came out at the end. she was perfect. but i had her preematurely. she was born 3 months preemie and doctor's still don't really know what went on. it was a scare at first but she's good now.

My first two pregnancys were fine for the most part..I had a lot of cravings and ate like a pig with my oldest and gained alot of wt and I had terrible morning sickness and certain smells made me ill..With my daughter (my second child) I only gained 20 lbs total (so thats including her wt etc) and all I wanted was fresh fruit and veggies...I walked alot and just enjoyed the preg but giving birth to her was a task because I didnt dialate smoothly..LOL she showed her stubborness for the first time in labour...and it hasnt changed any LOL...With my youngest though it was a different story....my preg had complications from the beginning so yea..that was a rough one...I ws actually ordered to bed rest and ended up in the hospital etc etc...He was born preemie..that whole preg and after is a story in itself

My first pregnancy was a dream, apart from a little bit of spotting. The worst part was that I was 11 days over when they induced me and 12 days over when they performed an emer c-section. I am now 40.2 weeks pregnant, for the 1st 16 weeks I felt so sick, but was never actually sick. The pregnancy has been different, but a healthy one. So in all I have been blessed with two fantastic pregnancies, apart from the emotional roller coaster.

oh my goodness, this one has been rough and very stressful for personal and financial reasons. in the beginning the morning sickness was severe and i spent most of the time sick and hardly able to eat the first few months. after finding out i was anemic and had to take iron with my vitamins i finally overcame the sickness part. now is just getting over the hump of struggling during my maternity leave i know that things will be better once i can work again. this pregnancy was unplanned and timing made this pregnancy very hard on our family but in the end when our baby is here it will be all worth it. i'm just blessed to have this child and knowing she will be with us soon makes me a very happy mom.

If you had asked me this question four or five months ago, when I was still going through it all, I might've given a different answer but looking back, I enjoyed it immensely and miss all the anticipation and excitement. I have so many fond memories of being pregnant that it almost makes me forgot how hard it was at times. Having my daughter is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I look forward to doing it all over again in the future. Were there times when I was tired, sore, achey, nauseas, cranky, and emotional? You betcha! Those last few weeks were especially tough. Was I nervous and scared? Did I wonder if I was cut out for motherhood? Did I lie awake at night sometimes and wonder what my life would be like after the baby came and if I'd be happy? Absolutely! But the whole thing was also such an incredible journey. I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
