How do you feel about pregnancy?

Question

Now that we are approaching our due dates how do you feel about your pregnancy journey? Would you do it again? I personally hated it, I’ve been so miserable and feel I have antepartum depression. Watching my body change like this has taken such a toll on my mental health, and has made me extremely self conscious.

Answer

I hate it, but would do it again. I know this because this is my second. I did not like it my first time either and wondered why I did this to myself, but the experience of having my baby when he came, and the incredible love I felt, etc, made me understand why women do this more than once. 
Basically I love the end game more than I hate being pregnant.

Answer

Absolutely hated it I’ve been extremely depressed and will never be doing this again

Answer

Nope. One and done. Too many medical complications. My poor body can’t do this again.

Answer

Hate it! Been in pain and very uncomfortable since early on, plus I feel helpless/useless. Thank God this isn’t my first kid otherwise My 11 year old would be my only child  because I’d NEVER do this again.

Answer

All my pregnancies have been totally different. My first was hard because I was younger and my second sucked because I got so HUGE but it wasn’t that bad. My third was a dream and I literally didn’t even feel pregnant until the verrrrry end! This one has I had pretty harsh morning sickness in the first and third trimesters and my bp has been crazy so I decided to have this be my last babe. I’ll be getting a tubal ligation and hubs will hopefully go through with his vasectomy so we will be double protected to not do this again. I wanted all my children before 30 and now that I’m approaching it I’m glad this will be my last pregnancy journey and I definitely enjoyed them all in their own wAys.

this has been the worst pregnancy for pains and I'm so ready to be done. 😭

Answer

I didn’t have an complications or morning sickness, and so far I’ve gotten good sleep and no heartburn/reflux. Mild sciatica, nothing big. I enjoyed some of it but honestly pregnancy is far too long. I could have done without the first 25 weeks at least. I also miss being myself (most of my symptoms are emotional and mental), and I miss doing the stuff I like to do and also drinking. I think I’ll be in a better place after all this, so while I had a fine pregnancy I’m excited for it to be over.

Answer

It has its lows, that's for sure, but I've had a lifelong fear of not being able to conceive. That, plus our journey of actually TTC, has made me do my best to enjoy even the worst parts of pregnancy. I have been blessed to not struggle with SPD or preeclampsia like many women on here. I definitely don't take that for granted, either!

Answer

Having depression for other reasons but being pregnant has helped that immensely. As for the rib kicks ... I could do with out that but so far I'd do it again! But I'm saving that opinion for after I evict this one 😂😂

Answer

Loved it until I got to about 32 weeks 😂 now I’m almost 36 and just want this baby out lol.
