Pregnant Body
I was reading a post over at blogging baby on the subjective beauty of pregnancy and that article got me to thinking. Who really likes being pregnant?
Although I love the outcome of being pregnant (my two beautiful boys obviously) and I think it is a miracle, I HATED being pregnant. I hated the way I felt physically and emotionally and I hated the way I looked. Pregnancy was not good to me. I couldn't wait for it to be over and to this day I am terrified of getting pregnant again. I just don't think I want to experience a pregnant body one more time.
So, tell me, LOVED or HATED being pregnant?
*When I find a pregnancy pic, I'll post it.

I was a mixed bag.
I loved the look and feel of being pregnant. The feeling of my child inside of me. I loved our time together and kinda mourned it being over b/c she was no longer just mine.
I hated the anxiety that came along with it though. I miscarried my first pregnancy, so with Camille's pregnancy, I was pretty nervous. I refer to it as my 40 week anxiety attack.
Loved it with my first, hated it with my 2nd. Never doing it again lol.
I loved it both times all the way up until about the 8th month.
I LOVE it! I think I look pretty good pregnant. I have posted my most recent bump pics on my blog yesterday. I am 36wks gone with baby#4 at the moment.
I think because I am alot healthier when pg, I look better. I tend not to look after myself to well non-pg and it shows.
I love having a bump. I think pg women look beautiful and I cant take my eyes of them. Of course, not all do but when you see a lady who has a swollen belly and an average size body with glowing skin and shiny hair, theres nothing more attractive to me. (saying that, my hair is 3 days overdue for a wash and I have a few zits and dark circles under my eyes)
I think its sexy too.
I don't love or hate it as I do not have any weight issue other than a spare tyre around the waist.Lol. I just accepted it as part of the process of having children. 2 is enough for me though. Lol
I love your post. It made me list some things about being pregnant in my blog entry. It's "Of Being Pregnant".
Thanks for sharing your story, dear.
HATED. I was bloated with 15-20 extra pounds of water weight up until the last few weeks when it miraculously disappeared, my face was fat, my nose spread, my butt got HUGE....and I was uncomfortable. Safe to say again, I HATED IT. LOL.
A pregnant woman is beautiful.
Don't let it get to you.
Relax
I pretty much hated it and counted the days 'til it was over. And I could hold that little baby that had me so big and bloated!
I didn't really mind it all that much until I got to the last two months and then I hated it. Both kids were over ten pounds so my body took a beating. I am not rushing to add to my family either.
I really loved being pregnant. I felt good -- for the most part -- and it was the one time in my life that I didn't obsess over the state of my body (well, except my belly, but that was a positive obsession!) I can't explain why, but I felt sensuous when pregnant. Well, at least for the first 7 1/2 months or so... ;-)
Hated, hated, hated being pregnant!
I loved it with my last pregnancy. I felt beautiful - this time around I just feel huge and miserable.
LOVED it- can't wait to do it again!!
love it so much! getting sad that'll be over soon - on our second and ill miss this so much
So far, i have had my ups and downs. I hated the morning sickness, feeling exhausted, and ALWAYS hungry. But now that it is over, I am enjoying it a little more. Hopefully it will remain that way!!
I hate the exhaustion and the constant comments ("You can tell your face has gotten bigger...") but I feel so good about being pregnant. No longer having to worry about whether my stomach is flat enough is a great relief and feeling my little girl flip around in my belly is so cool! i am only 29 weeks though and everyone here seems to have hated the last two months! We'll see how they treat me! At least it's getting cooler...
I hate being pregnant. Everyone said the first time would be the worst, but the second has been no cake walk. I am fat, cranky and sick everyday.

help me- nothing about the way i look but i can't find any other blogger source on the net. i have so many questions- and they are so hard to look up. i'm having the weirdest pregnancy ever. i don't crave starch or anything but everything i eat- tastes like poison for the baby. ex.. my water tastes like liquior, my plum tasted like nail polish remover.. is this normal. these are just some examples, they get weirder. i can't eat fruit or drink water because the taste is soooo strong. but no one else can taste these things. what's wrong with me! and that's just ONE weird symtom! HELP ME
Trying to get pregnant was the best, I enjoyed being pregnant, except for end of 7th month and on.
About to have my first - something that really bugged me was my pubis constantly hurting! The only thing that seemed to help was doing these certain exercises - this trainer has put together an exercise routine that is supposed to help women get ready for childbirth in a functional kind of 'practice picking up baby' kind of way. You can check it an article about it here:
http://jamieatlas.wordpress.com
The exercises are not easy, but it really helped me just to know that there is actually something out there I can do!
Thanks for the great blog! Oh and emily totally feel you on the 30 week anxiety - I am at 39 right now and feel like I am having daily panic attacks!

All pregnant woman have questions and concerns about their pregnancy, especially if they are first time moms. Is my baby developing correctly? What happens if I consume alcohol? Will sex hurt my developing baby? Am I supposed to be gaining all this weight?
Although these questions seem basic and are assumed to be common knowledge, there are just as many people who now the answers that don’t.
The first four weeks of the baby’s development is crucial. This is when the babies heart, central nervous system, eyes, arms, and legs. Around week three the baby’s brain begins to develop and continues too throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Consuming any alcohol, especially during those crucial times, could cause serious damage to the baby. Alcohol is considered a teratogen. A teratogen is a substance that is harmful to human development. If you drink alcohol when you are pregnant it crosses the placenta to the baby. There is no safe amount of alcohol to consume while you are pregnant.
Sex is completely safe during your pregnancy unless you have been notified otherwise by your doctor. The baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in the womb, your abdomen, and by the mucus plug which seals the cervix. This seal helps guard against infection. Some reasons the doctor may tell you not to have sex are as follows: if you have a history of premature labor, history of miscarriage, if your water broke, if you experience unexplained vaginal bleeding or discharge, if you have placenta previa, which just means you r placenta is lying low, if you have an incompetent cervix or it has dilated, and finally if your partner has an STD.
Weight gain is great for your baby. It helps your baby grow. But it also has many benefits for you. Gaining weight at a steady rate within recommended boundaries can lower your chances of having hemorrhoids, varicose veins, stretch marks, back ache, fatigue, indigestion, and shortness of breath. The weight provides nourishment for the baby and is stored for breast feeding after delivery. Assuming you were a healthy weight before pregnancy, you should gain 25 to 37 pounds. If you were underweight plan on gaining anywhere from 28 to 40 pounds and if you were overweight, 15 to 25 pounds. Many women wonder where all the weight goes. It gets divided all over the body. About seven to eight pounds is the baby, one to two pounds is the placenta, the amniotic fluid is about two pounds, the uterus is about two pounds, maternal breast tissue is about two pounds, maternal blood is about four pounds, fluids in the maternal tissue is two pounds, and maternal fat and nutrient stores is seven pounds. So do not be afraid of weight gain. It is beneficial to you and your baby.
Talking about any of these topics with your doctor or midwife is perfectly normal. Educating yourself about you and your developing baby is a crucial part of the birth experience. There is no reason to feel uncomfortable about any questions or concerns you may have.
I hated being pregnant. I felt like someone had drugged me. I couldn't stay awake and when I was awake I couldn't focus because I was so tired. I felt invaded...glad it's over.
Kudos to the women who love it...I don't get it wish I did.
