What does being pregnant feel like?

Question

I'm not pregnant but I had the weirdest dream last night. It was so surreal. I felt like a baby was moving in my stomach and like I could "adjust " the baby 😅 I don't really know aha. Let me know your experiences.

Answer

Basically the kicks start out feeling like cute little gas bubbles then it turns into literally feeling like someone is kicking you or pushing on your insides... because they are. Then you add the pressure you feel, back/hip pain, or round ligament . Your skin stretching & itching. Then all the common symptoms on top of that, sore boobs, morning sickness, etc. 
I think pregnancy looks beautiful, & IS beautiful because our bodies can do this... but I personally never liked being pregnant.

I loved being pregnant! I had the easiest pregnancy though. I found out at 5 weeks.  Morning sickness started at exactly 6 weeks. I felt nauseous all day but only threw up at night.  It stopped at exactly 13 weeks. I felt the first movement at 16 weeks and then again at 18 weeks. I felt it almost everyday by 20 weeks.  It was like tiny little pokes. Then big kicks and flutters. (I miss it!) I didn't care too much for the ass kicks or the "lightning crotch" yep that's a real thing. Also your vagina swells a lot. So it felt like I was walking around with an enormous pad all the time. I also became allergic to my deodorant while pregnant. So weird. I didn't really start showing until about 30 weeks so I didn't feel huge or anything. My hips would hurt pretty bad though. Like they were constantly being pulled in opposite directions but only after laying or sleeping.  I didn't really get back pain until 37 weeks. At 37 weeks my daughter stopped moving because she ran out of room. So I was induced at 39 weeks.  0/10 do not recommend being induced.  But pregnancy is different for everyone obviously.  Now at 11 months pp I still get phantom kicks and I can't wait to do it again.

Yesterday it felt like someone’s balled up fist was pushing up on my stomach from the inside.... and then moving it to the right. Sometimes it feels like there’s a heartbeat in my belly when he has hiccups. Also just feels like something moving around from side to side.

Answer

The baby moving feels like a fish. Legit lol it hurts to be pregnant. My back and hips hurt. It’s uncomfortable to move or get up. And lots of pressure. And just feeling fat lol that’s basically it for me
