We hear a lot about the hardship of pregnancy. Weird rashes (me), morning sickness (me, but really afternoon sickness), constant urination (me), if my husband doesn’t jump to get me something I bite his head off (me), backache (me, in the later months), waddle walk (yes, me again). But there was a lot I liked about being pregnant with Vivien and that I am getting into now with this pregnancy – or rather, there’s a lot I need to be reminded of as my girth increases (18 weeks). So tell me what you liked about being pregnant. Some sample ideas below.
Thanks, sisters!
How about the fact that I didn’t have to feel guilty about buying clothes constantly because I outgrew what I bought last week!!
Hands down the best thing about being pregnant is not having a period.
Danielle! Duh, of course it is!! I forgot. You win the prize-ding, ding. I remember when mine came back after Viv I was so bummed.
Folks are a little easier on you at work. You have to do something REALLY awful for anyone to “yell” at you. Basically you can get away w/ murder b/c no one wants to be the person who made the pregnant lady cry @ work. I am seriously scared now to go back to work (maternity leave ends in two weeks… GAH) and I wonder how long I can milk the “don’t yell at me, I just had a baby” thing.
Because of complications with different birth controls after I had my first baby I bled for 6 months. You learn to cherish those 3 weeks out of the month, and those 8-9 glorious months you’re pregnant. Morning sickness and peeing 30 times a day doesn’t even compare to a never-ending period.
What I liked the most about being pregnant ( I was pregnant with twins) is being out of work for 5 whole months. And, of course not having a period.
less work, or nice work and no blood. I’m sensing a theme here. I’m with you.
here in California I gained a greater respect for the Hispanic culture. No one was nicer to me when I was pregnant and a new mom then the Latino men working in cafes and such. if there wasn’t a seat available they would go in the back and find one for me . An appreciation of the mom.
I loved how everyone was always offering to help me do everything. I could be lazy and they would wait on me hand and foot, lol.
