What do you love about being pregnant?


Ok ladies,

Understandably there are a lot of threads on here about the woes, aches and pains of pregnancy, so I thought it’d be nice to have a thread to say what we love about being pregnant. There’s got to be something!!

I’ll go first.
I love the fact I aint got to shave my legs very often at the moment.
I really love my bump and am so proud to show it off, I even don’t mind the aches that go with it much
I love the little kicks even if they do wake me up at 2am
I LOVE how my skin has all of a sudden changed from 20 weeks of spotty teenagerdom to glowing loveliness! (You watch, I’ve jinxed it now and am totally going to break out!)
I REALLY love being able to mix 13 different kinds of odd foods that you’d never get away with being non pregnant and being able to reaaaaaally enjoy them haha.
Oh and I am totally in love with my pregnancy pillow. I had to wait till I was pregnant to find this WONDERFUL invention?!

Hehe go Chaos. Loving the fact that you started this thread. There is too much depressing threads atm. Ok so these are the things I love about being pregnant.

1. I love the fact that I have a bump and everyone looks at it hehe.
2. I love the fact that I can feel the little kicks now and Titch is especially active today.
3. I love that my hair is getting thicker and is nice and shiny.
4. I love that I can eat whatever the hell I want and not worry about putting on weight.
5. I LOVE my new cleavage hehe as does the OH.
6. I love that I can decide I dont want to do something and OH listens to me hehe.

I agree this post is really well appreciated... I'm sick of reading the same questions OVER and OVER again about symptoms, the "could I be prego?", and the "is this normals?" haha... I feel like saying "GO BUY A BABY BOOK" sometimes...
  1. I love the hair on my head growing thicker, shinier, and curlier than normal (im curly pre-prego but this is a whole new level!)
  2. I love getting to decide what's my menu all the time (OH used to do this)
  3. I love having funny cravings that are completely random, but HAVE to have
  4. I love seeing the scans in progression, it's amazing how a baby grows from a seed to a baby
  5. I love being able to shop in the baby section with my bump haha
  6. I love how intense food tastes now- its amazing to me
  7. I love how excited my loved ones are, it makes me giddy
  8. I love the bond my OH and I share, which is even stronger and deeper than before.
  9. I love pregnancy sex, not going to lie- it's straight out of heaven/hell whichever way you wanna look at it
  10. I love being able to take naps and no one says anything about it.
  11. I love all my new prego friends that I have made that are sharing the journey with me

OMG I *totally* agree! It seems its the same set of questions over and over every 3 days. Dopplers, baby kicking, stretching pains, is this normal, how long till I show?
The forum has a search option for a reason

I was tempted to say absolutely nothing, but my skin is looking better than ever, even in my mid 20's i still have bad skin but pregnancy is doing me the favour of sorting that out. I also really enjoy watching the kicks and fidgets. But other than that, nothing! I dont love the worry, the aches, the heart burn, the feeling frumpy, not being able to see my crotch to sort out the wicked hair growth etc! x

I love my bump, even tho it doesn't look properly pregnant yet!
I love feeling LO kicking me.
I love watching LO moving on the scans.
I love shopping for tiny clothes and teddies!
(This would have been, 'love my new cleavage, but no luck yet lol!)
I love the thought that I am going to be someone's Mummy!
