On a positive spin, what is your fave pregnancy symptom?
I'm loving the baby kicks even more this time. Such a different feeling than the first because of the placenta placement. It feels like a first time experience!
-
Hmmm... no period?
-
I love the stretchy pants. Does that count?
-
@travellingbee: ahhhh - this! for sure!!!
-
Not having to suck in my tummy for pictures
-
My hair and nails are so thick and luxurious.
-
@raspberries: Haha, this was exactly what I was going to say! I feel like it's the only time you can (and are expected to) just let it all hang out
-
@Imabee: Yes! I'm milking it for all it's worth
-
Baby movement is so cool. (I'm just staring to feel them at 21 weeks) Also, not having to suck in my belly when I wear a tight shirt or a bikini. Being able to eat pretty much whatever I want because I'm pregnant. Oh, and having DH go get me food if I'm craving something.
-
Having super healthy hair is a huge perk...love that! I unfortunately know that it doesn't last long after baby comes, and I'm not looking forward to the 2+ years of growing my broken hair back.
-
@travellingbee: helll yeaaah!!! i'll be crying at the post partum deluge though!!
-
I loved eating most of what my heart desired and the fact that people do things for you because they don't want you to get up because you are pregnant. I'm a lazy prego.
-
From memory...
Nice skin, no acne.
Having a firm bump instead of my regular belly-no need to suck anything in! -
My hair and skin were A-MA-ZING. Like never before and certainly not after.
-
Ooh, so many of these! I loved the kicks, not having a period, and generally just the big ole belly. (Until it got TOO big
)
-
My whole first pregnancy I was in awe of of my nails. Also enjoyed not sucking in my tummy, wearing super comfy clothes to work, no period, and sometimes it was actually nice to take a nap. Oh and I thought the weird were interesting.
-
baby movement!
-
No period is great! Also, I like being able to wear comfortable, stretchy clothes all the time that don't dig into my waste or feel too tight on.
-
Baby movement & hair! Also, never feeling alone even if I am for a moment.
-
Skin. It's never been so clear and problem free. I love the movement as well. I overall really love being pregnant.
-
For all of you mentioning great hair, do you still lose some at least? I was really looking forward to that stopping, but so far at 8w2d, I haven't noticed a difference.....
-
I have to agree with the not having a period, and not having to suck it in.
I did like how my face filled out, but now it's filling out a little too much, haha!
OH! ETA...how could I forget the best thing of all? Magically slowed down leg hair growth! It's amazing. Does anyone else have this? It's so weird, and I don't know why it's happened, but I love it!
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: yes!! I normally have to shave legs every other day but I can go WEEKS without shaving and it hardly grows! Love it
Also love the think hair that never gets oily, nice skin, bigger boobs- overall I really do love being pregnant (except the last month or so)
-
@DesertDreams88: I kept losing mine, but I think it might have been because I was on progesterone. Im still losing some, but less that pre-pregnancy. Post partum... I don't even want to think about it. I'll probably have bald patches again
-
Not having to suck in my belly, being able to snack without really worrying, not having to shave my legs as often (it's magic!), feeling baby kicks.
-
Clear skin! It's the best symptom for me and after I'm done having babies I'm going to a dermatologist to tell them to make a magic potion for my face that can keep this awesomeness going - without having to be pregnant for life
I've always had problem skin, except for when I'm pregnant. There has to be something they can do for me!
-
@DesertDreams88 I didn't start to notice the great hair until the second trimester, around 20 weeks I think? I still lose a little but not near as much as I used to. It's much thicker.
-
My hair and nails are growing really quickly! And I like having a good excuse to rest and eat, and wear comfortable clothes.
