I loved being pregnant. At least until the last month or so. That's when the morning/afternoon/evening sickness started up. But I'd still do it all over again!!!

And D...no matter how bad you feel, you'll still love every second of it!!!

I don't get woman who say they love it. I obviously am so happy to be pregnant and know that what I'm going through will all be worth it in the end, but this sucks.

I've lost 11lbs from puking up my guts, my nose has been running for the last 10wks, I have an amazing amount of goo leaking out of me, I fall asleep sitting up, I have heartburn that won't quit, my lips are so dry, my hips are killing me, my face looks like a pizza, I'm irritable, I can't stop farting, the list goes on and on. I do not love this.

I didn't love it or hate it. I did love feeling my baby move around, kick, hiccup!
I ADORE being a mommy

I absolutely loved both pregnancies of mine. My first was easy peasy... I never even got that "get this baby out of me" feeling. My second was not so easy, but still easy compared to most. I was really blessed both times and I do miss being pregnant here and there. If we go for a third, I'll be sad it will probably be my last pregnancy...

ETA: and while I love pregnancy, I think I balance things out because I totally abhor the first 3 months postpartum.

Nine weeks in, I do not love it! I've been sick, exhausted, hate that I can't work out like I used to, and don't like feeling pudgy but not pregnant.

Maybe I'll miss these early days when I'm nine months and huge though!

I'd rather go through unmedicated labor and delivery again than be pregnant. We had always planned to have two kids and I'm no longer willing to go through a second pregnancy.

@pelikila: I was starting to feel like the only one.

We have also decided this is it.

First trimester sucked b/c of morning sickness with both babies...second was good with first but seems like I'm feeling more uncomfortable earlier second time around and I'm only half way there. I guess I'm okay with being pregnant... if only I can get more comfortable in bed. Oh, and with the second, I have pain in my right butt when I am on my feet too long. Not liking that at all....

It had it's ups and downs, but overall, I really enjoyed being pregnant. However, I don't expect to enjoy it as much the next time around though, especially since my body will be older and I'll be running after a toddler.

I loved it, I really did. I was fascinated with the changes that were happening and how my body adapted. I had a very easy pregnancy with no complications or morning sickness, so I am sure that contributed to my feelings.

So far I actually kind of love it. But, I'm only 13 weeks so plenty of time for that to change! I was never sick or really nauseous in the first trimester, and though I was tired, I was never "fall asleep at my desk tired." There are definitely downers (no wine....wah!!!, the secretions (ew), peeing 3 times a night, teen-like acne, my pants stopped fitting at 8 weeks, and my boobs have been SO SORE since week 5) but overall I have had an easy pregnancy so far and love the changes and thinking about the baby.

We tried for awhile to get pregnant and I had an early miscarriage previously so maybe I've just convinced myself that pregnancy is awesome : )

It's been almost a decade since my last pregnancy...if THAT tells you anything! I had hypermesis and literally puked everything that went in my mouth (or even things I attempted to eat but couldn't get past the smell) the ENTIRE. 9. MONTHS.

It was a nightmare!!!!! The only thing I enjoyed about pregnancy was one single day in my third trimester where I felt decent and I sat on the couch poking my belly and he would kick back at me. It was the cutest thing.

I'm not 100% positive, but we find out on Tuesday if I'm pregnant with baby 2. I'm so scared to have a repeat of number one pregnancy!!

I work out like crazy so being pregnant makes me feel slothy and fat I like the end result but not the actual being pregnant part.
And this makes me odd but I hate the baby moving inside. It just feels so uncomfortable.

So far I love it but I'm only 8 wks so im terrified the M/S will kick in soon...

Haaaaaaaaaated it! Extremely painful, frequently bed-ridden by exhaustion, and then had 3 months of pre-term labor at the end. (Not the same as regular labor -- more like hard-core, only sometimes painful Braxton-Hicks -- but still less than enjoyable.)

And yet lately I find myself wishing I could do it again. Selective amnesia is a beautiful thing!

I am currently 38 weeks and for the most part I have really enjoyed being pregnant. I love bonding with my inside baby and I'm a little sad knowing she will be an outside baby any day now. That being said, I'm also really excited to meet her too!

I had a very easy pregnancy and I loved being pregnant! The third trimester was the hardest part- especially going 6 days past my due date. But I am already looking forward to being pregnant again- it was a wonderful time of my life

So far I agree with you completely!!
In the first trimester, I loved the idea of being pregnant, but not the actual feelings from it. I was so tired and so sick from weeks 7-15, that I greatly disliked it. I can't say hated though because I have wanted this so badly.
After week 15, I actually had days where I loved it, and can't get enough of rubbing that belly, but there has still been plenty of discomfort.
At week 32, I have days where I like it and days where I feel like a waddling troll. I was in cold, rainy Chicago a few weeks ago, and I was ready to cut him out myself. I love feeling him move and rubbing the belly. I still can't believe how fast and slow this has gone.
I really, truly hope that I don't go past my due date, he has been a big baby so far, so any opportunity to give him an eviction notice early is welcome from full-term on. The darndest thing is that I know I will miss pregnancy when he arrives.
