Answer

the sickness is what really gets me down, I have hypermesis and been in hospital on a drip. haven't been able to eat or drink for weeks and lost 16lbs in weight. I have zero energy and struggle to do anything daily other than lie down with a bucket to throw up into! it's been so so hard but I'm lucky I've got such great family to help xx

Answer

Going crazy literally I was sooooo emotional most of the time and felt like I was crazy. On top of that the pain in my joints especially my hips and back. Then generally being so uncomfortable especially when you’re huge and the baby kicks so hard, I’d be in tears in the shower coz every part of me hurt. 
BUT looking at my little man now it’s was so so so worth every bit of pain and craziness.

Answer

I didn't think giving birth was the worst, it was the best part! I had hyperemesis (that's extreme sickness during pregnancy), that's how I found out I was pregnant and I was hospitalised my whole pregnancy pretty much. I was underweight to begin with so not being able to keep anything definitely wasn't good. Was no fun knowing and wanting to eat for my baby and not being able to and the doctors worrying. At about week 30 it had gotten better and I had a month where I was feeling okay, and then at about week 34 I got preeclampsia 😒 I didn't feel it but it was still annoying having to get blood drawn several times every day, especially since I'm so afraid of needles. But I'd do it all over again for my baby!

Answer

Nausea. Restless legs. And I became CRAZY 🤷🏼‍♀️
Tbh, I absolutely hated being pregnant. From 4 weeks on it was a nightmare. I bled multiple times and had many ER visits. Had 3 doc appts a week, went into preterm labor that they were able to stop at 33 weeks. Then finally was induced at 37 weeks because I had 2% amniotic fluid left. So I never was able to enjoy pregnancy. Delivering my baby was absolutely incredible, in that moment all the struggles and bitching you had done disappear. For me i would love to deliver over and over again if I could skip the pregnancy part! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

Morning sickness, not being able to sleep at night because of your huge belly. alwayssss tired ( at least for me), oh and towards the end of my pregnancy I was soo swollen from my face and feet.

Answer

Look up ‘broken crotch’

Answer

For me, morning sickness, migraines and the severe pelvic pain I have if I walk around for more than ten minutes or sit for too long. I love being pregnant though, even if I do feel like crap 90% of the time

Answer

Everyone’s different. For me - morning sickness followed by whooping cough followed by blowing a disc in my back at 30 weeks and then having it blow out again mid way through labour!! Also being heavily pregnant in the middle of summer. 
Would do it all again in a heartbeat - the reward is greater than any pain

Answer

My morning sickness wasn’t bad at all, I was nauseous from 8 weeks to 12 weeks, and I only puked maybe 6 times, the only part that I hated was having sciatica pain, it absolutely killed me, but not everyone gets that

Answer

Ugh the nausea! And the vomiting! Horrible but so worth it!!
