I've always enjoyed pregnancy, from the minute I've seen a positive test result to the minute I've given birth to each of my children, I've LOVED being pregnant! And, I've always really missed it after I've had my babies! I enjoy knowing there's a baby growing inside me, then feeling the baby move around, and love knowing that I get to be a mommy to another child! For the most part, I feel great throughout too. Of course I deal with morning sickness for about three months, get heart burn, stretch marks, loose joints, splotchy face, leg cramps, itchy, etc. like everyone else, but, I guess it's never been bad enough to make me not enjoy it. I'm a bit sad that I only have 5 more weeks of this pregnancy and then it will be over!!
I've also always thought that most women enjoyed being pregnant and it was the minority that didn't like it, but during this pregnancy I've come to think I've been wrong. I feel like I've come across way more women who say they DON'T enjoy being pregnant than do! Most agree that "it's worth it" but they'd rather skip the pregnancy if possible. I'm just curious how all my girlfriends feel about this. . .now that I realize it's not such a GREAT experience for most of you! So, PLEASE, do tell!!!
