Pregnancy Info HOME

This process of pregnancy is so beautiful, and so weird too. I am still going through the love/hate thing also. I'm nearly 17 weeks now, and need to wear all special clothes. There are two weddings I'm in, one in May and one in AUGUST, and I am having to dish out a lot of money for gigantic and ugly dresses. I'll never wear them again! I'm hoping my husband doesn't change too much with this pregnancy and baby business. I love him the way he is now! However, he admits the belly scares him, as it's growing so fast. He just looks at it with a weird expression. He says that not all men love the look of pregnant women... can you believe it? Just take the compliments people give you, and hang on to them. When my husband looks at me in that weird way, I think of other men and women at work that say "there is nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman". It makes me feel better about the whole thing.

I don't hate it, but I definitely enjoy not being pregnant more. I am VERY thankful to be able to be pregnant and think that it is an absolute miracle that our bodies can do this! but I miss working out hard and drinking wine and I miss the independence of not being pregnant. I won't miss it... except that I LOVE feeling the baby move around in there. I HATE gaining wieght with a passion and I gain it sooo easily. It's not fair. But in the end, I think we would ALL agree that it is totally worth every second, puking and all!

My BF loves my pregnant belly!! He is so so sweet and I know he's totally obsessed with the belly lol..I love being pregnant 9 months out of my total existence is really nothing at all. I love all the attention from my BF and all of our family. This is my first so I'm totally embracing this miracle that I'll only experience a few times in my life. I miss having wine or going out all night but this is much better than all of that! I guess you can also say I'm so happy because I never got sick or experienced any annoying symptoms except some intolerable headaches and bloating..but anyway I'm really excited can't wait =)

Hey Ladies
Sorry I haven't been around. Had my baby shower on Sunday and it turned out awesome! Had it at the park and the weather was perfect!!!

Have any of you suffer from swollen feet? Ugh, it's really disgusting. My feet don't look like mine! I drink tons of water and still get them. What is your remedy? SO tired of my shoes not fitting.

I have a reason why your feet get swollen, the key is from salt. Salt can make your face, even create pimples and make you gain to much in your pregnancy. You find Salt in some foods that are already there, you just have to look for foods that does not contain that much in foods, and try not to use any extra salt. I love salt however as what my doctor and even my whole family tell me, you get an after affect which can come out looking horrible. Anyway you just have to soak your feet and keep them raise about 20 mins. or less depending on how horrible they come out. Anyway, I hope this helps... ask your doctor [ they can give you many other reason but to me i think you are taking to much salt [ it all the signs as what you mention in your note above.

Yes I hate it. All of it. Also I hate myself for hating it. UGH I can't win :(

I am not a happy, glowing pregnant woman--I'msick all the time. The only thing I like about pregnancy is that, at some point, I can go several months without having to suck in my stomach.

I hated it while nauseous... but now that it has settled down, and I can move about freely, look for clothing, found some cute stuff, and can cook and eat better, I am starting to enjoy it. Also, all the attention is fun ! LOL..

Oh but I do miss working out and doing some of the yoga that I cannot right now...

I think that I previously posted that I do hate being pregnant. Now that I am over the being sick and can finally feel the little one move, I like it. I think I like it only because I know that DH and I have created such a beautiful baby! I hated being sick and now I find that I hate a couple of other things too. I hate having almost no energy, back aches, sleepless nights (which I will need to get used to), head aches, and getting out of breath so quickly. So I guess the only thing I do like is knowing there is such a perfect little guy in there letting his presence be known by his constant kicking LOL. It is so awesome and cute!

I hate pregnancy, and im only 8 weeks! :S It's painful and makes you feel sick ...I cant wait to get it out!

I love being pregnant!! If it wasn't cause this is my 3rd c-section. I would have 4 kids. I love everything except throwing up. I love feeling kicking & my belly growing. I love having no period. My husband finds me more sexy.
