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.

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.

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... ;-)

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.
