But I had awful, awful back pain (couldn't walk/sit for long at ALL, was in constant pain), so I'm not looking forward to that coming back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1537641 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:51:49 +0000 Running Elley 1537641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the minority and I HATE being pregnant. I'm so thankful that I've been able to have healthy pregnancies and, apart from having to be on injections during the first and early second trimesters, I've had fairly easy ones. I just don't like it. I don't feel like myself with the extra weight, hormone fluctuations, etc. I'm absolutely dreading having to go through it again.</p> <p>I love actually giving birth to the babies and I love having/caring for children but I hate pregnancy completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1537563 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:26:46 +0000 mrsrain 1537563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I am 31 weeks and, aside from a couple of weeks in the 2nd trimester, this entire pregnancy has mostly sucked. I am so happy to have been able to conceive naturally (it took us close to 2 years), and to get to experience pregnancy and birth. But pregnancy itself has been painful, uncomfortable, and difficult. I hope to adopt when we are ready for a second LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1536782 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:40:50 +0000 Adira 1536782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVED IT! I've never felt more beautiful or happy with my body!!!</p> <p>Although the last month, I was pretty uncomfortable, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1536765 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:35:04 +0000 ValentineMommy 1536765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I would HATE it, but I loved it. Granted, I didn't have morning sickness. I am hoping whenever I get pregnant for a second time, that it goes as well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1536699 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:19:00 +0000 LovelyPlum 1536699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: yep, this exactly!</p> <p>I want to love it, but I just...don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1536687 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:13:14 +0000 annie624 1536687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really loved being pregnant! I am really hoping the next time around is as good to me.... (when that day comes!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531840 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 20:43:44 +0000 delight 1531840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it for the most part. I was sick the first 16 weeks but was still super excited about being pregnant. I felt great second trimester and all the way up to about 38 weeks. Then the August heat got to me and I was ready to meet baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531764 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:54:04 +0000 HLK208 1531764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate it. All three times. My body just doesn't handle the hormones or weight well. I have hyperemesis so I've been very sick with each LO, once that starts to subside my body feels like it's breaking. My ribs hurt, my back, sciatica, tons of low pressure, constant BH's...no energy!! It stinks.</p> <p>The babies are worth it though &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531753 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:48:08 +0000 Veggiemama 1531753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved it! I mean I had horrible morning sickness for the first few months both times and all of the usual aches and pains but I loved it despite all the challenges. I would do it again and again and wished I would have started having babies earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531730 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:30:23 +0000 wonderstruck 1531730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not even a little bit. Once this baby is born I will be ECSTATIC about never doing this again, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531577 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 16:34:24 +0000 Kemma 1531577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved it and part of the reason was that I looked good while pregnant! Having a bump seemed to balance out my shape and I just felt more confident in myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531552 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 16:01:01 +0000 daniellemybelle 1531552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second trimester &amp; part of the third. The first trimester was very hard physically &amp; emotionally. Toward the end of the third trimester I had some issues &amp; then I had a really terrible last week of false labor so by then I HATED being pregnant haha.</p> <p>When it was good, though, it was great. I loved feeling "special" and anticipating my baby &amp; feeling her move. Those kicks! The best. </p> <p>This is making me want to be pregnant again &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531487 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:46:15 +0000 Honeygold89 1531487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it even at the end and loved giving birth I can't wait until we do it again especially since it'll be our last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531440 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 13:22:25 +0000 MrsB2012 1531440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>after the first 10 weeks I loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531356 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 11:42:56 +0000 nana87 1531356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really do love it! There are definitely things that are not pleasant (morning sickness until about 18w, worries about her kidney development from 20-28w, now worries about low amniotic fluid since 32w...) but overall it has been wonderful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/3#post-1531333 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 11:11:00 +0000 leelee 1531333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I have loved pregnant both times. I was lucky though and didn't have ms with either so I'm sure that contributed. I remember when lo1 was 6 months old I wanted another so bad because I missed feeling the movement. Seriously the best feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1531127 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 07:54:46 +0000 jhd 1531127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so very thankful to be pregnant &amp; cannot wait to meet our LO. But I am definitely not one of those people who loves being pregnant. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1531089 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 05:38:21 +0000 littlek 1531089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love being pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1531078 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 03:28:38 +0000 erinpye 1531078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: ditto </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1531068 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 01:24:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1531068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No no no no no no no no no.

I was moodier and not nearly as energetic. But we are done now, so no regrets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1531017 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 23:27:16 +0000 gingerbebe 1531017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, no.</p> <p>This is our first sticky baby after 2 miscarriages and so while I'm very grateful to be pregnant after 2.5 years, pregnancy has not been fun for me. I've been dealing with morning sickness since 5w. I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow and I'm still on Zofran. Granted, its not 24/7 like it used to be, but now when I do get MS, its sudden and violent. Kicks me in the teeth. I've been so sick and miserable that DH asked me if he thinks I can do this again (we want at least 2 kids) and all I said was that I hope our second pregnancy, God willing, is easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1530424 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 16:25:07 +0000 Cherrybee 1530424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it! Completely loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1530391 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 16:17:30 +0000 PurplePeony 1530391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm just not good at being a pregnant person, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1530290 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:42:02 +0000 lemondrop 1530290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NO!!! </p> <p>My first pregnancy was wonderful, every kick was amazing, but I was super sick for the first 22 weeks and miserable from 35 weeks on with swelling and carpal tunnel and high blood pressure- I still loved the experience for the most part. </p> <p>While I'm so in love with the results of my second pregnancy, it was not nearly as magical of an experience. Minus the swelling, the rest of my symptoms were the same, it was pretty sucky. He was posterior for most of the pregnancy, so every time he moved was very uncomfortable. We are going to try for one more in a few years, I know my husband and I are both dreading the pregnancy part already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1530261 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:31:47 +0000 MrsStar 1530261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hated the morning sickness, loved the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1530058 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:28:52 +0000 night cheese 1530058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like crap throughout my first trimester but I'm enjoying my second, especially now that I can FINALLY feel baby move (it was a later bloomer and I didn't start feeling flutters till 21 weeks).</p> <p>Another thing I'm enjoying is embracing my bump. Before getting pregnant, I had a belly that I was very self-conscious about, and I hid behind baggy clothes. But now that it's an obvious bump and not just a food baby, I'm having fun wearing clothes that show it off a little bit.</p> <p>There are things I could do without - the heartburn, the nighttime leg cramps, the fatigue, the tailbone pain - but for the most part, I'm digging my second trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-like-being-pregnant/page/2#post-1529875 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:31:49 +0000 Modern Daisy 1529875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it :) i had a very easy pregnany though with no complications, pains or morning sickness and I also carried all in the belly so I know I got lucky. </p>
