Everyone is different hun, my entire pregnancy and birth were totally awesome. I had morning sickness pretty bad but I expected it coped with it, was very glad when it finally went away but the whole pregnancy journey is the best thing I have ever done in my life. Its truly an amazing experience. And yes its not supposed to be an easy job being a parent, my 10 month old is very strong willed and is a lot of work but omg i would not trade a minute of it away. The love I feel for him is so incredibly strong and every day is a delight. My husband and I have developed a stronger relationship too as he is such a good daddy.
