I was about to go to bed and then I saw I had the chance to be the first one to comment! Alright, what was my favorite part of being pregnant?
Thinking about my baby. I loved just holding my hands on my belly and contemplating the personality of my baby.
What did I hate? Oh no! Don't get me started on this one. Pregnancy is uncomfortable in many, many ways. But one thing: I hated how bad my hips hurt in the 9th month of pregnancy.

Pro:Clear skin and thick hair, the close parking at the OB-GYN lol!

Cons: I'll keep it light. I carried twins so it was NO FUN. I couldn't wait to be unpregnant. Those two reeked HAVOC. lol!

Good: Great hair & skin, feeling my son kick & when he had the hiccups, hearing his heartbeat each Dr's appt

Not so good: Timing (I was pregnant during the summer months!) Labor (before the epidural, of course), swollen ankles, & heartburn

Having great hair, skin and nails was pretty awesome. Feeling him kick and move inside me was great (unless it felt like he was trying to excape, that wasn't fun!) Trying to sleep comfortably was the absolute worst part! The pain in my hips made me want to cry every night before bedtime for the last 3 months.

I would have to say that my favorite part of being pregnant was feeling my baby girl move and kick. However, I had a really enjoyable pregnancy and with the exception of morning sickness, loved every second of it... I loved the way my body looked, my hair was fantastic, my skin looked great... I actually can't wait to do it again!

I didn't like being pregnant. It wasn't fun for me. I only liked the quiet times when i would sit and watch her move around or kick and sometimes that was so dang uncomfortable I didn't like that either lol.

I am expecting to enjoy every moment, especially when one morning I will sneak in the bathroom wnd come back into the bedroom with a big grin on my face to greet Hubby with the good news.

The moment we will hear a great sound from a small seed. the moment the doctor will tell us the baby is healthy and kicking.

I would like to see my belly expanding and me trying to put the anti-stretchmark cream but will see get some as sign of good work ;) .

Because I waited five years after my wedding to TTC I make sure I enjoy each moment - even the sleepless nights and the vomiting nights :)

I haven't experienced any of it as yet, but I'm so excited about the entire experience. I can't wait to see the positive test. I can't wait to see the look on my husband's face. I can't wait to see the sonogram, hear the heartbeat and feel the first kick. I know the entire experience isn't always great, but I'm looking forward to it all because I know the outcome is simply awesome!

Good:
GREAT skin! I had awful skin for the whole year that I was trying after i went off of the BC. But as soon as I got pregnant I had that wonderful glow, not a blemish in site. Also, being able to eat whatever I wanted and not worry about my weight was glorious!
Bad:
being Big as a house, not being able to sleep on my back, and my decreased sex drive!

My favorite part has to be the belly bump...I don't know...when I see one I smile, I felt beautiful...I loved taking month by month bump pictures. Loved it. I hated however the throwing up til 21 weeks. Morning sickness half your pregnancy is no fun at all...also that heartburn thing and the siatic nerve problem I had with sleeping I couldn't sleep in my bed for 3 months. I slept on the couch.

I simply LOVED being pregnant. I loved the fact that everything I did, ate, heard had a direct impact on my unborn child. I loved wearing cute maternity clothes and watching my belly move at night. I loved the anticipation of not knowing what he was going to look like and the excitement of see him. I looked forward to giving birth as it was the culmination of everything for which I had planned and prepared.

I would have to say my highlight every day is feeling my baby boy kick and move around. Sometimes I think he is going to kick his way right out of my uterus before his due date! Everyone says I have a glow, but I think I am just extra oily. LOL!! I would be pregnant during the blazing summer, but the good thing is I will have the baby right around Thanksgiving, so the holidays will be even more special with a new edition.

I miss sleeping on my back and stomach. I am winded sometimes with the new weight gain and the ligament pain can be a beast. However, I would say I wouldn't trade any of this for the world. It is clearly a blessing to be able to carry a baby so I do not take it for granted!

The best part was feeling the baby kick and being able to eat like free willy.

The worst part was using the ladies room every 30 minutes!

The first pregnancy my favorite part was feeling the baby kick at the beginning. There are so many uncomfortable things about pregnancy, but the absolute worst for me is feeling fat during and esp. after and how long it took to get back (for the most part) to my normal shape. This time around i'm going on a strict diet of healthy food, and i'm not going to give in to the temptation to eat whatever, whenever I want, and doing a good workout through out the pregnancy because I know how hard it is to get back in shape, and how hard that is on me emotionally.

Actually I would say the worse part about pregnancy this time around was not feeling prepared, and therefore not having my husband be happy and excited about it.

WORST:
people telling me what i am, how i feel and exactly how it will be even though every woman's journey is different (i.e. "oh the nausea will go away by 12 wks" 17 weeks and still goin strong... "you don't even look pregnant" well i feel VERY pregnant. "this is the best time of your life!" whatever lady.)
being deprived of my favorite sleep position: on the tummy lol
not having the energy to do anything that requires me to stand (and sometimes even sit) upright
being an emotional wreck for the majority of every day

BEST:

feeling my little one move!
talking to him even though he can't quite hear me yet
making plans for him & thinking about what he'll be like
getting closer with my own mom as i journey towards becoming one
writing to him to let him know how loved he is, even if he won't be able to read and understand it all for a long time
