I feel much better in the second trimester than the third so I would rather have the baby before I'm totally over being pregnant. Although.... I told my husband that I wish I could just lay an egg and skip pregnancy altogether hahaha. babypugs on "If you could choose how long pregnancy lasted" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-how-long-pregnancy-lasted#post-2643627 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:15:59 +0000 babypugs 2643627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ One year if most of it is like the second trimester. I don't really like the physical aspects of pregnancy but I could use that much time to mentally prepare myself!

Let's say 6 or 7 months!

I would love a longer second trimester and eliminate the first. winniebee on "If you could choose how long pregnancy lasted" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-how-long-pregnancy-lasted#post-2642992 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 21:30:42 +0000 winniebee 2642992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 6 months seems about right to me Mrs. Toad on "If you could choose how long pregnancy lasted" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-how-long-pregnancy-lasted#post-2642983 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 21:17:51 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2642983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 9 months is fine, but I would prefer having two 3rd trimesters if I could skip the 1st trimester.

I still need the preparation mentally, emotionally, and practically. I think 6-7 months is good. Though I can't complain about nine months. It's a good amount of time!

If you are on edge or feel like crap, that really makes the 40 weeks feel long. But if you feel good the first trimester that cuts it down. skipra on "If you could choose how long pregnancy lasted" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-how-long-pregnancy-lasted#post-2642962 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 20:38:48 +0000 skipra 2642962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am the type that needs a long time to prepare mentally. Ideally a year, especially if that means baby is a little more developed (but no bigger, please!) MrsKoala on "If you could choose how long pregnancy lasted" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-how-long-pregnancy-lasted#post-2642961 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 20:37:37 +0000 MrsKoala 2642961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 7 months sounds about right. Long enough to mentally prep but short enough not to feel like you are pregnant forever.

Six months might be nice. runnerd on "If you could choose how long pregnancy lasted" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-how-long-pregnancy-lasted#post-2642952 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 20:20:34 +0000 runnerd 2642952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yea about a month would do it for me, maybe two months only for the purpose of more time to buy/prep :) Anya on "If you could choose how long pregnancy lasted" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-how-long-pregnancy-lasted#post-2642951 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 20:17:22 +0000 Anya 2642951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ What would your ideal gestation be? I would be very cool with pregnancy lasting 40 days instead of 40 weeks.
