What's your favorite thing about being pregnant?

What's your favorite thing (so far) about being pregnant?

It's early but it's been boring for me so far. I want to know some fun things to look forward to!

The highlights for me (based on last pg - 3ish years ago):

1. Feeling baby move
2. The moment when we found the sex
3. Being able to eat more than usual w/o too much worry

The rest of it sucks, sorry.

Also based on my last pg- the best part is an extended amount of time without a period! Haha. It was so nice to not have to worry about tampons and grossness and the whole shebang of AF. And for me, with BFing, I went a full 15 months with no period. Wheeee! Definitely looking forward to that again.

[joolz]

Haha, totally Blindy. I didn't have my period for 18 mths! It was awesome.

Otherwise I wasn't /am not a huge fan of being pregnant.

I seem to sleep better when I am pg. It's like a natural sleeping aid. I also have crazy juicy dreams.

The no dieting thing is good for me. However, sometimes I feel terribly guilty if I have a bad day and switch back to low carb eating at least for 50% of the time.

[looseseal]

Based on my first, it changed. Each thing I think I liked, I grew tired of. Funny, vivid dreams turned into bad sleep. Wearing pants without zippers and buttons and clasps turned into I'm sick of not having a waist. Eating extra food turned into I'm tired of being so big. But, I tried to enjoy each thing as it came, and countdown the time. Overall, I'm not a fan of being pregnant, but this is our last and I'm so glad I'll know our whole family.

This is what I was expecting to love about it. Turns out it feels like the worst day of my period (cramping wise) almost constantly.

Needless to say, not digging being pregnant so far.

My favorite thing is thinking about being a Mommy, and seeing my husband be a Daddy.

And, not gonna lie, the attention is kind of nice:-)

[alzi]

No period.

I'm not loving it in general.

You know, there were a lot of times the attention of being pg was annoying, but a lot of the time I found it wonderful. When I was gigantically pg, I'd go into a conference room for a meeting and all the seats would be taken, and someone would always give up their chair for me. Things like that were really nice.

[sake]

Not having a period
Having an excuse to eat ice cream and other junk, which I always want, but usually would feel guilty about.
Having people volunteer to do things for me since I'm pregnant
Looking forward to raising a family with H

[underwaterrhymes]

Feeling the baby move.

Seeing that he has H's nose.

Other than that? Not a heck of a lot.

[iamgrace]

At this point, not much. Father along, I love feeling the baby move and I love, love, love the belly. Love it.

[Deleted]

So far it's been pretty boring but as of today I no longer have to go to the fertility doctor so that means not getting up early three times a week. And no more vag cam!

[countthestars]

Knowing that there will (hopefully) be a baby at the end of this.

[mudslide]

Baby at the end
Seeing how excited H is.

[underwaterrhymes]

Okay, I thought of more things. I do love the belly. It's fun. And I love the idea that I'm just about halfway. And I love seeing H get excited about stuff (just as I'm sure he enjoys seeing me get excited about stuff.) And I love planning the nursery.

[aegis2005]

I want to like being pregnant, really I do. It took us over 2 years, lots of invasive procedures and a miscarriage - I feel like I *should* like it, but honestly I'm not really enjoying being pregnant. I've had a lot of bleeding due to a SCH, and being pregnant really stresses me out.

That said, the best thing is when I see my son on an ultrasound. During my ultrasound yesterday he was yawning away and it melted my heart.

[imoan]

So far, it was when we went for our NT scan and saw the baby moving around like crazy. That was the moment it became real and less abstract. And when H told me he almost started crying when he saw that. In the 14 years we've been together... I've seen the man cry three times. A single tear when a car he worked long & hard on caught fire, a single tear at the end of Marley & Me and he bawled when we put my cat to sleep.

[litasail]

Thinking about how great of a dad DH is going to be.

Otherwise, I pretty much hate everything about it.

[emisi]

Hey, I've enjoyed talking to you ladies! That's pretty awesome.

Shocking my friends ranks up there pretty high, too.

[jessuhmarie]

My favorite thing is when MH talks to my belly and rubs my belly to try and feel her kick. He gets so excited when she kicks him and it makes me a gooey mess
