Samah007 · Mar 13th, 2012, 09:31 AM

Love:
Feeling her move
Learning/reading/experiencing the miracle of her development

Hate:
The GD diet
All of my ailments, including: carpal tunnel, fatigue, skin tags and discolorment, aches and pain, insomnia, frequent bathroom trips
Feeling vulnerable and helpless
All of these doctor's appointments
Not being able to wear my cute clothes

Love

Being able to feel my little boy move around inside me
The feeling there's something alive inside of me that's so precious and I just can't wait to meet!
People being more helpful and doing things cos I 'shouldn't cos I'm expecting'

Being able to eat like a complete piggy and not feel too guilty cos its better eating than not eating!
Shopping for things for me and my little man and just spoiling us and getting spoilt by other people hehe.

Don't like

The constant worry I've had right from my

will my LO be okay? what if? what will happen if? etc etc, I'm sure most mummies to be will know what I mean!
The aches and pains that pregnancy brings

How my hormones make me feel sooo rubbish and low sometimes!
Heartburn and constipation errrghhh I HATE them!

welshgirl21 · Mar 13th, 2012, 10:22 AM

Love

Feeling my little man move and wriggle
Getting his clothes and nursery ready
Being able to go to bed whenever I feel I need to
Carrying mine and Rob's baby that we made together and looking forward to his arrival and our future as a little family

Not Love

Rib pain from little man's foot
Heartburn
Piles
Bending down and turning over in bed feeling like a military operation
Working full time while heavily pregnant
People seeming to always ask 'how's the bump' instead of 'how are you' and thinking all I want to talk about is the baby and impending birth.
Feeling like a waddling wide load and unsexy in eveything I wear

Still wouldn't swap it for the world though, it'll be totally worth it and I'd go through it all again.

LOVE:
Having my little one inside me

Decorating and buying him clothes
The fact that my hubby baby's me

HATE:
Being tired ALL the time
Lack of sleep because of the awful pain/pressure in my vaginal and the fact my pubic bone cracks everytime i move
Having to pee all the time
Peeing myself everytime i sneeze or cough
The pain in my back from carrying this belly
When he lays on my sciatic nerve and i almost collapse
That i have gained 45 lbs
The headaches
The mood swings
The anxiety about everything

Wantingbbbump · Mar 13th, 2012, 10:53 AM

LOVE
Feeling her moving and playing
My bump
Knowing that I have another life growing inside me
Watching her play with others when they put their hand on my bump
Not having my period
Eating whatever I want/having people run out to get me what I am craving if I don't have it at home.

HATE
The pain in my ribs,hips and pelvic bone
Having to spend 16 weeks on full bed rest (thank god that's over)
Her kicking my ribs and right hip all of the time
False labor/BH's Having to have painful contractions that doesn't lead to holding her sucks!!
Heartburn, She better have tons of hair with the heartburn I have had.
Not being able to get any good sleep because turning over hurts so bad.
Waking up 5x's a night to pee/ having to pee every 20mins
Not being able to hold her
Knowing that in the next 3 weeks I will have to share her with other people
Not being able to drink coffee because it makes me so dang sick when I do
Not knowing when or how labor is going to start.

Mummy Bean · Mar 13th, 2012, 10:54 AM

Love:

That there going to be a little person half me half my Hubby - How freeking awesome!
All the shopping for little man
Not having to worry about my weight...just being able to eat till my heart content.

Hate
Miss the sex life (still DTD but not as fun as it used to be)
Not being able to drink
The baby brain
My 3rd rib on the left...baby has been kicking it since about 20 weeks...it now realllly sore.
People touching me...like what?

broodybelle · Mar 13th, 2012, 11:04 AM

LOVE:
Feeling baby moving and even the painful kicks.
Having a bump to rub.
That we are going to have a little family of our own soon.
Getting lots of attention.
Being looked after and being 'made' to rest because I'm pregnant.
Spending hours obsessing over every item we're going to buy on the internet and then buying it.
Planning the nursery.
Being team yellow and the suspense over what we're having!

HATE:
Having to do normal stuff like go to work when I'm so distracted by being pregnant and no longer care.
Worrying every day since our BFP that we aren't guaranteed a live baby and that something might go wrong- I think BnB has put that fear into me.
Having to wait sooooo long for something we both want so desperately.
The fact that it is uncomfortable to walk already and feel like I constantly need to pee when I'm stood up, even though I don't!

I am sooooo with you on this one!! Even in work I'm like "Stop asking me things, my brain has left the building..."!!

I dont enjoy being pregnant so my love list would be pretty much blank and my hate list endless! I cant wait to meet my baby but I dont enjoy the process of getting there! x

HubscheFrau · Mar 13th, 2012, 20:47 PM

Love

The thought that I will soon be holding my little man
Trying to guess what he will look/be like
Dreams about him
Trying to choose a name
Having a good excuse to get out of doing things I don't want to do
Giving my parents their first grandchild
Watching my OH slowly go into daddy mode
Folding baby clothes
Connecting with other young mothers

Hate

People who overestimate the things I can handle
People who underestimate the things I can handle
Crying in traffic
No sashimi, hot tubs or bungee jumping
When my younger friends invite me out on pub crawls
When people act like my pregnancy is a disability that's getting in the way of having fun and once it's over, we can go back to normal. "Once this baby is out of you, we're getting smashed on tequila shots/smoking like a pound of marijuana!"
People who think that posting photos of the baby belly is "indecent" and "akin to me slapping on a g-string a going for a walk in the park" or "having sex in public"
