My first pregnancy, I probably would have said 7. The morning sickness sucked, but otherwise I felt great throughout the rest of the pregnancy. This time around I'm not quite as excited. I've been achey and large and in charge from early on, so tired having a preschooler and being preggo, and I'm already pretty over it at 25 weeks. So I voted 5.

I didn't vote because I have different answers for different pregnancies.
1st - I would have voted 2. I was miserable
2nd - I would vote 7. Way easier physically though I had GD
3rd - only 12 weeks so TBD, but currently 3.

A solid 2

I voted 3. Honestly, there's really not much I enjoy about pregnancy other than knowing I get a sweet baby at the end. I had horrible morning sickness with both kids, lots of complications with my first, and a lot more discomfort with my second. Heartburn, insomnia, worry, achey joints, it's just pretty much a big thumbs down from me.

I'd say 10 for all three (#3 has 5 weeks left to cook though). I love being pregnant!

I voted a 5 because for me, at least at this point, (25 weeks) it's not much different than not being pregnant. I see a 5 as not liking nor disliking pregnancy.

hate it...this one is so much worse than DD...

I don't mind pregnancy per se. My kids just don't like staying in the womb and it's a little scary dealing with pre term delivery and potential NICU time. The main thing that worries me are the what ifs with pregnancy, what if the baby isn't healthy? Etc..

I had HG until 24 weeks so I was miserable. Afterwards, it wasn't so bad. I did have to be on hospital bed rest for 6 weeks because my water broke. I'm hoping that was because I was carrying twins. Labor wasn't that bad either. I didn't have any pain but I think it might have been from my water breaking early. I am curious to know how carrying a singleton will be when we decide to have another.

So far pregnancy is a 9

I love my pregnant body! Having a growing belly has really let me embrace the other parts of my body that has grown for years. It's surreal to me that there is a baby inside of me yet the symptoms are real. So far I have been feeling pretty great.

I effing loathe pregnancy. I picked a 2 because it's awesome to feel the baby move and I love the product of what happens from pregnancy. I hate being sick all the time, constant heart burn, not enjoying food, and feeling like an exhausted lump on the couch constantly.

I mean ............. I'm grateful I am pregnant. But like it? Not so much.

Shoot, I didn't vote for each pregnancy! Can you say pregnancy brain?! I voted 5 for my current pregnancy - morning sickness, fatigue, food & water aversions, seeing a chiropractor regularly for a misaligned pelvis, heartburn, & a ginormous belly are huge downers. I LOVED my first pregnancy: I would have voted 10. It was so amazing I was considering surrogacy!

0.

I voted 9. I really love being pregnant at the end of the day. I've had 2 easy pregnancies ghT each had their share of aches and pains but I really enjoy growing that little baby and having her move around.

With every pregnancy, I hate it more and more. I'm pregnant with my fourth, enough said.....

@looch: I feel the same way! Except I voted 8 because current me romanticizes pregnancy, but in the midst of it I had some complaints like heartburn, morning sickness etc. So my vote is a compromise.

First pregnancy, I'd have said 8. Second pregnancy, 3. Neither was debilitating, but the second I ended up in the hospital dehydrated, nauseous forever and in PT twice a week for SI pain that never went away. Plus we moved across country during it and I was chasing a toddler, so it sad harder all around.

@simplyfelicity: I feel so much better hearing you say this. I voted a 6 because of the same reason. It hit me hard emotionally because I could no longer function in the way I used to, any sense of a normal routine completely ceased and I felt completely and totally useless around the house, at the office, etc. But complaining felt just wrong because it took so long to get here, and I'd rather have discomfort of growing my baby than going through IVF treatments again. So it's hard, because I want to honor that it's just tough to be pregnant sometimes, but keep my perspective and be thankful it means my baby is growing in there!

But I'm only 15 weeks.... so hopefully I'd vote closer to an 8 by the end! Now that my bump is more noticeable and I'm gaining some energy back, my attitude is changing. I'm SO excited to really feel him/her kick in there and to really start planning for his/her arrival!
