36 weeks + 4 days here and enjoying!!!

But I have also been really really lucky with pregnancy. No throwing up just nausea and mainly at night during the first tri. Second tri has been free sailing.
Third tri is when the pain started. Hip pain where I can't walk. Rib cage where I can't sleep. Peeing every 10 minutes - no joke.

I think I might be one of those that misses having baby in me!

I feel gross most of the time so right now I'm surviving. I'm also having a lot of anxiety because of a prior miscarriage. Which means when my symptoms are bad I feel a lot of guilt complaining because I should feel happy to be pregnant. It's just a vicious cycle. I'm hoping once I see the heartbeat at my ultrasound on the 18th I'll feel better.

I'm 32 wks 4 days and really like being pregnant....Never had morning sickness, was super active, felt good. I had some Latr second trimester insomnia that resolved with taking unisom. However a few weeks ago I went into preterm labor, was hospitalized, and then put on bedrest. So while I still like being pregnant, it's been a stressful few weeks and bedrest basically stinks. Hoping that once I have some restriction removed (hopefully 3 or so more weeks) I will get back to enjoying pregnancy!

I hated it, week 7-18 I had severe morning sickness, throwing up every morning!! Week 6-30 I had severe sciatica, at one point I couldn't even walk.
Second trimester was significantly better, from week 19+. but then in the third trimester my ribs started splaying from baby kicking me, so I was really uncomfortable my third tri.

I survived until half way through my second trimester. At first I had a constant migraine. I did nothing bit lay on the couch and go to the er. But those finally went away and I could enjoy it. Even though I was a million pounds and had tons of aches and pains, I loved having lo in my belly.

I liked the second trimester. As soon as I started getting the rude comments, though, I stopped liking it. I also don't like the joint and ligament pain associated wih it.

@miss-spunkin- I am in the no walking stage of saiatica can I ask what u did for relief? I really need some help. Tmi- my biggest worry is not getting to the bathroom in time, any advice?

I pretty much hate being pregnant. Didn't matter the trimester (currently 33+4). And I've had a super "easy" pregnancy - no major morning sickness, complications or anything. The worst I've had is some pretty intense sciatic pain for a few weeks. So I try to keep my "I hate this" commentary to myself, especially when I'm around friends who had harder pregnancies.

Now at 37+3, I am pretty much just surviving. I enjoyed pregnancy until the 3rd trimester, and then it quickly became annoying. At the end here, I am pretty much miserable and cranky and crazy. I am done.

The first trimester was very hard for me. every day draggged by and I just felt horrible. 2nd trimester was much better although I had to deal with round ligament pain towards the end. And now I'm in the 3rd trimester and its tough again... but I'm already starting to forget how bad the 1st tri was

I just hit the second trimester (WOO HOO) and so I'm hoping it is everything I expect to to be! I'm ready to feel the baby move and to feel not as tired or sick! I'm excited for the next couple months!

Now that I am past all the "morning" sickness and the pure exhaustion I am enjoying being pregnant! I think I switched from surviving to enjoying the moment the sickness went away and I started feeling movement

I'm enjoying so far (27 weeks today)-- I didn't have any M/S (just a bit of nausea throughout the day... like a mini-version of being sea sick) and everything else has been peachy! I'm only up 10 lbs so far, too, which is definitely a plus!

@mrsjyw: Yay, hope it stays that way! And hope that they stay gone forever! I can't really tell yet for the surgery. My body is going extra crazy because they cut into my neck, so that hurts, and when my neck hurts my head hurts. I think I'll know better when I'm all healed up.

Despite the fact that I suffered hyperemesis, GD and PIH, I am really enjoying my pregnancy. I will be sad that is is over in 2 weeks when I am induced. If I didn't need induction I think I would gladly go until or even past my due date. I really feel awesome, and beautiful right now!

I'm just surviving. My pregnancy (am 35 wks) has been relatively easy but I just can't wait to get back to eating healthy (sans uncontrollable cravings), working out at the intensity I'm used to, not having to deal with random aches and pains, having a drink without feeling guilty, and sleeping on my back!!! And at this point, I really really want to meet the LO!

I enjoyed (not sure that's the right word? I didn't LOVE it, but I mean, it was fine? I had no problems with it & it was pretty cool to feel lo kick) pregnancy up to week 34-ish. then I got carpal tunnel horribly & had to sleep in a recliner & was SO swollen. from that point until she was born (12 days late) & for the first 10ish days pp, I just survived. after that the water weight was gone {hallelujiah!} & I felt like a person again

@Mrsdaredevil: THANK YOU for admitting that you don't really enjoy going out in public because of the way you look, because I have been feeling the same way but felt like I would be judged saying so!

I've avoided taking pictures of myself during pregnancy but my girlfriends had a bridal brunch for me today and took lots of pictures and sent them out in the afternoon, and I was shocked to see what I really look like! It put me in a funk for the rest of the day I'm just looking forward to being and looking like my normal self again.

I'm on the "surviving" boat also. While I am super excited to have a baby; the pregnancy hasn't been a smooth ride. Now at 37 weeks, I'm dealing with indigestion, swollen feet and overall I just feel big/fat and uncomfortable... but I'm trying to enjoy it as best as I can because it's almost over. Hang in there!

I was really enjoying up until last week (week 28) when my the back pain began and my hands/feet began to swell. I've been really lucky not having m/s or fatigue so up until now I didn't even feel pregnant.
