Is pregnancy what you expected it to be?

Question

Answer

All of these, on any given day!

Answer

I felt so guilty for awhile because it has been nothing like I thought it would! You see these pregnant girls that are thrilled and seem to be so happy but I didn't expect the pain and changes it brings.. Some days are awful- between the constipation, the exhaustion and the mood swings! 2nd trimester has been much better lol

Answer

I've been so lucky. Overall I've felt really good. More tired than usual, sometimes more emotional, but physically I feel pretty good. It is stranger than I expected though. I've been more weirded out by the changes in my body than I expected. I've never been skinny, so I didn't think it would be so shocking to get a big belly, but I was pretty uncomfortable with it at first.

Answer

Can I vote all of the above!

Answer

I could have chose several of those options! :) This is my 3rd, so i knew what to expect but this is the first pregnancy I've had round ligament pains with....also first bladder infection. I've had 3 miscarriages trying for this one, so when the round ligament pains kicked in at the same time as the bladder infection &cramps & pressure that went with that I flipped my shit. So I've had a little of each option above through this journey. Things are better now @18wks & I can honestly say I'm loving it even though I feel like a dang whale already.

Answer

It's not what I thought, but not in a bad way. I haven't been sick and so far everything has been perfect. I thought I would be sick and overall miserable. I did think I would be showing faster than I am and I do miss having a drink. But other than that I've enjoyed my pregnancy!
