I was in great shape throughout and really enjoyed it. I was never over it and suddenly she was here.<br /> Second time was a surprise that I didn't really bond with for a while and didn't begin to prepare for until 2 weeks before she was born. I was tired, on the go and not active like my first. It wasn't horrible but I didn't love it and I was ready for baby to be here.<br /> I hope that whenever we decide to go for 3, I'll be in a better place physically and emotionally to enjoy it a bit more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2403897 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 02:03:05 +0000 lemondrop 2403897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, while I love the product of it, both experiences have been pretty miserable. Other than feeling them move, being sick all the time sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2403878 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 01:18:44 +0000 HLK208 2403878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have easy pregnancies so it was hard to enjoy them. I had hyperemisis with my second and third, hypertension, I couldn't sleep, I was achy, giant and uncomfortable. But so far (even though it's so early) I'm liking my fourth and final pregnancy. I'm not sick yet (knock on wood) and I have a ton of energy...which is weird because I take care of three kids all day. I had insomnia and headaches with my other pregnancies as soon as I got pregnant, and I haven't had either this time. I'm so hoping it continues this way. I'm pretty sure because I just said this one is easy so far that the universe will make sure this is the hardest pregnancy yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2403874 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 00:55:53 +0000 lady baltimore 2403874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! If all I had to do was carry and birth them, I'd never stop having babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2403871 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 00:49:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2403871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past 2-3 weeks pregnancy sucks due to weight gain. My belly and boobs are huge causing so much discomfort in my back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2403864 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 00:30:41 +0000 jh524 2403864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: some days yes and some days no. I've been sick while dealing with a very sick toddler. I have horrific gas and I've been so sick and stressed I just started to get a cold sore, which I've been lucky to not have for over 6 years.... Good times over here. On the positive note, I look cute in pregnant clothes and I'm 24 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2402900 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:33:09 +0000 ValentineMommy 2402900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved being pregnant the first time.</p> <p>The second (successful) pregnancy was way more difficult. I was emotionally a mess (from having a previous m/c) and I was nauseous the entire time. That being said, the second he was born, I was ready to do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2402856 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:13:41 +0000 pachamama 2402856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love being pregnant. So much. Every second of it. Maybe because I thought it was never going to happen and I am a little older, I really appreciate it... I'm 34.5 weeks right now and I am able still to exercise (ran 6 miles yesterday!), I haven't gained too much weight, and I am an attention whore so I'm just loving it. I had some hangover-type nausea first tri but it wasn't bad. I'm even sleeping through the whole night now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401573 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 10:26:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2401573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it during 2nd trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401528 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 09:59:36 +0000 edelweiss 2401528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>overall, loved it both times, EXCEPT for the first trimester with LO2. the exhaustion and nausea were really unpleasant. and not to say that i didn't get really tired towards the end. also, i didn't have severe pregnancy side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401521 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 09:57:03 +0000 cascademom 2401521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoyed my pregnancies up until the last month. Both times, the pregnancy was relatively easy until that point. By the last month, my flora and fauna get so messed up and have a number of infections that it's not enjoyable anymore. </p> <p>Near the end of my last pregnancy, my blood pressure was rising so much that I was getting to be high risk and nearly induced. It was stressful worrying about that and managing a two year old toddler on top of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401503 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 09:41:06 +0000 Rocker2014 2401503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope nope nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401494 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 09:34:57 +0000 bushelandapeck 2401494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had easy pregnancies both times and enjoyed it most of the time. Not enough to want to do it again, but I can't complain. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401479 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 09:13:00 +0000 Alivoo01 2401479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely loved being pregnant with DS. He made is super easy on me minus pinching my sciatic nerve once in awhile.</p> <p>I had a semi rough start with DD, but once I got into the 2nd trimester, and my pregnancy worries backed up a bit, I did/do! Now that I'm feeling her movements more frequently and consistently, I'm in love. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401444 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 08:36:39 +0000 mamabolt 2401444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first time, no. But this time around I'm enjoying it more. I think partially because it might be my last and partially because I know how to manage it better and what to expect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401405 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 07:46:58 +0000 Ash 2401405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved pregnancy both times!! I was always worrying about the baby and I wasn't a fan of the all day nausea but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401364 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 04:00:13 +0000 wrkbrk 2401364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: I like it looking back on it. Does that count? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401358 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 02:33:33 +0000 Truth Bombs 2401358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell to the no. The sickness, the worry, the discomfort, the lack of sleep, the loss of the ability to be active (due to bleeding issues).... I didn't like it at all. I love my babies and they were absolutely worth it but man I'm glad I don't have to do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401354 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 02:21:28 +0000 LindsayLou 2401354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There were some challenges to be sure, but for the most part, yes, I did enjoy it. I didn't love it, but I was in awe of what my body was doing, and I was so happy to be looking forward to meeting my baby. I also had a pretty easy, I eventful pregnancy, felt good through most of it, and stayed very active. I enjoyed it right up until 37 weeks, when my feet and ankles swelled to absurd proportions, like it hurt to walk, even flip flops wouldn't fit, constant throbbing size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401352 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 02:07:10 +0000 sometimesshesings 2401352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. No no no no no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401312 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 23:11:29 +0000 sarac 2401312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really hated how limited I felt physically. I went into my second pregnancy in the best shape of my life, and it drove me crazy to feel like I was slowly losing it. I pushed myself as hard as I felt comfortable the entire time and actually came out of it with more aerobic capacity, which was pretty cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401258 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 21:42:59 +0000 ladybee 2401258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first yes, I felt beautiful and felt pretty great. With this one, no way. It's been high stress since the beginning and my depression has been a constant battle. I'm really considering getting my tubes tied while they do my c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401254 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 21:31:34 +0000 Ms. RV 2401254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. I could deal with the physical symptoms, but I was lost emotionally. I generally think very rationally but I could only think with my heart! OH and I fought all the time as a result. However, I loved feeling movement and actually was a pretty big fan of the clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401218 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 20:47:49 +0000 JenGirl 2401218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to admit, I freaking loved being pregnant. Which totally surprised me. Certainly some sucky parts, but overall great. Probably at least partly because I knew it was likely my only time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401213 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 20:44:56 +0000 californiadreams 2401213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just want to add that I think I enjoyed it more the first time. Second pregnancy has just seemed to drag on and is less exciting overall. I just want to be home with my new baby already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401212 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 20:44:06 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2401212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved how I felt physically. Really, up until about the last 10 weeks, I felt awesome the whole time. I didn't love all the extra worry that came along with it, and my delivery sucked. However, I do look forward to my next pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401211 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 20:44:01 +0000 travellingbee 2401211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Purpledaisy: I had a lot more body image issues this time too that I didn't have at all with my first. I was happy to be getting bigger the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant/page/2#post-2401208 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 20:42:42 +0000 MrsF 2401208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both pregnancies I had horrible MS until around 20 weeks and then really loved the second half. We're not sure about having another and I'm really sad about the idea of maybe never being pregnant again :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-being-pregnant#post-2401201 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 20:39:07 +0000 Purpledaisy 2401201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time: loved it</p> <p>This time: meh. I'm still having nausea at 16 weeks, I'm much more negative about weight gain/body changes, and I've been in an overall bad mood throughout this pregnancy so far :bummed: </p>
