The first trimester sucked, but the second trimester both times around were glorious. I felt even better than normal. Third trimester I was soooo uncomfortable with Charlie, but I was fine with Olive.
Overall I didn't mind being pregnant! I loved feeling them move and I loved touching my stomach!
What about you?

First pregnancy was wonderful, but I was so uncomfortable with the 2nd in the 3rd trimester.

I think it is exciting but it makes me kind of stressed/ paranoid/ more serious 
and so so sick and sore! Ouch!

Even through the 20 weeks of ms (and the anxiety of losing him), I looooooved being pregnant so much!

The first trimester was awful, and I remember the anxiety, but overall yes! I can't believe how relatively quickly it went by.

So far, I like it. My first trimester wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad either. I feel good now and so excited!

I loved being pregnant w/DD once the initial 15ish weeks passed and the nausea stopped. I loved having a baby bump and the discomfort was nothing compared to dry heaving all the time! Now that I am 8 weeks along w/#2 and popping zofran like skittles, it's not so fun. But hopefully it will be once this part is over!

Yes, loved it (except for the last 3 weeks when I was hella swollen)

I loved being pregnant. I had some annoying symptoms (fatigue and headaches in first tri, bad rib pain in the second and third tris), but overall I absolutely loved it. I felt so healthy and strong the whole time.

Apart from the joy of feeling them kick, I hated being pregnant. It was awful.

I hated M/S but had an average, normal pregnancy. I don't know that I much LOVED it though. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it.

Yes!!! I miss it already. I realized I was looking at maternity clothing on on online and I'm not Prego anymore...

Nope, besides feeling him move and kick and the excitement that we would have a baby, I hated it. I had horrible morning sickness for about half of my pregnancy, major back pain with muscle spasms, and also nerve pain in my leg which caused 3 ER visits in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. Then the last few months I had horrible hip pain and could barely function without lots of pain. I think I was just unlucky with all these things. If it hadn't been for all of those, I would have loved it.

I like the second pregnancy much better than the first but it's a love/hate relationship
honeydew / 7916 posts
Count me in the minority - there is nothing I like about it except that it will (hopefully) result in a baby. I don't even like feeling movement; it makes me seasick.

My memory tells me that I loved being pregnant! If I think about it hard enough, I'm sure there were parts that I didn't like (I am probably romanticzing pregnancy a bit!), but all in all, I really enjoybed being pregnant with LO.

I hated it the first half and loved it the second half. So I guess if you average the two, I liked it!

I loved it but for the last 7ish weeks. It got really uncomfortable then.

I didn't hate it? 2nd trimester was glorious physically, but my memories of those three months are tempered with the fact that I was rigorously studying for my licensing exam, and that was hard. During 1st trimester, I had moderate nausea and vomiting, but more than that, I was simply exhausted all.the.time. At one point, I thought I had mono! And third trimester, I developed pretty severe carpel tunnel syndrome. I had paws for hands and literally could not do anything without assistance. I loved growing a baby inside of me and feeling all the movements and watching my belly swell, but I'm not sure I'm looking forward to it again!

I enjoyed it a lot the first time, less so the second, but it wasn't bad. I had pretty easy pregnancies. I just felt like it was so looooooong. I went to 40 weeks (and more with my first) both times.

It is a love hate relationship for me, I love it but I hate being sick, tired, emotional and sore.

I love it! I am very, very fortunate to have had an east going pregnancy without any morning sickness or complications. I've been in awe of the process the entire time and I love feeling her move around and carrying her with me everyday. I'm going to miss it!
ETA: That being said, I've been pretty uncomfortable at times since about 32 weeks. I am looking forward to a good nights sleep. You know, in like 5 years...lol

No, definitely not. I never got to enjoy the "golden stage" during the second trimester. I went from being insanely tired during the first trimester to being insanely huge pretty soon into my second and just. kept. growing. By third trimester, I was barely able to get around or stand for very long because of the pain in my feet and back, basically everywhere. I do feel fortunate that I didn't suffer from m/s at all though.
But, if I had to go back, I would do it all again in a heartbeat because the result was SO worth it.

Another for the less popular answer - I just don't like being pregnant at all. I had a very scary first tri with bleeding and such constantly, but even now that the fear/anxiety is less, being pregnant just sucks compare to not being pregnant. And it doesn't help that pregnancy has aggravated this upper back pain, and I can barely sit for entire day at my desk job. The only thing I honestly enjoy is the baby movement but even that causes anxiety (is he moving enough? Etc)

I am very very grateful to be pregnant. And I haven't minded the weight gain or the annoying questions or any of that stuff. But I still hate it. My body has ached since about 14 weeks. I've had terrible heartburn. Before bed rest I was at the point where it hurt so much just to get up from my desk and grab something from the printer. And the whole time I've just felt like an incuabtor of tiny aliens. I am so glad that I am never planning on doing this again!

I loved it the second and 1/2 of the 3rd trimester, but the end of it I hated it! Too uncomfortable and too many issues with blood pressure. I hope I can enjoy it more the second time!
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
Nope, I wasn't a fan. End result was wonderful, and I was thrilled to be able to be pregnant, but I did not enjoy my pregnancy.

when the nausea and acne died down after the first trimester, i loved it. i am grateful that i did not have major discomfort/health issues.

Minus the anxiety initially since I've had 2 m/c's, I am LOVING it. But, I had virtually no MS at all, and I'm only 16w6d, so I've been lucky so far, and haven't gotten to the tougher parts towards the end. Can't wait to start feeling consistent movement!

I will never be one of those women that just love being pregnant. My pregnancy was relatively easy but even so I did not love it

I loved being pregnant the first time despite being on meds for morning sickness until I was 36 weeks. This time, I'm only 6 weeks in, but no sickness yet, so maybe this time will be better!

Yes! Even thought I couldn't sleep. The last couple weeks I was over it though.
