What part of pregnancy are you most and least looking forward to?

OmiOmen · Feb 2nd, 2012, 06:01 AM

I was wondering what part of pregnancy are you most and least looking forward to? I think no matter if you are WTT for you first or twenty-first you are going to be excited and nervous about something.

As odd as it sounds I am looking forward to the moment of going in to labour if I get to experience it. I had a high risk pregnancy and a breach position and had to have a planned c-section with my son and hate the fact I have never gone into labour. I really hope next time everything runs smoothly and I can have a VBAC (even if I do wimp out last minute and want an epidural

).

I am least looking forward to feeling ill and uncomfortable. I would like to bet I get awful "morning" sickness again and hope it stops there and I do not get any other problems like last time. Also those last few weeks when you feel like you are actually going to burst.

Ooh what a good question. I am most looking forward to just having a bump! And feeling the baby move and kick, have the hiccups etc, I can't wait. Oh and seeing it at scans!

Least looking forward to... hmmm... it sounds really bad but all the stuff you can't eat and drink during pregnancy. I smoke and drink (not a lot but a few bevvies and cigs in front of the telly on a Friday night is my favourite vice!), eat loads of sushi and fish, love tea and coffee, brie, soft boiled eggs, pate, a nice rare steak... yum - all the things I'm not allowed. Oh and painkillers!! I have scoliosis so am a bit worried how I will cope for 9 months with no painkillers plus the added stress on my body from baby. But I know it'll all be worth it in the end!

Im looking forward to everything apart from getting morning sickness again! That was the worst part for me.

I'm looking forward to being pregnant the most, although had very easy pregnancies with my first 2 so knowing my luck this one would be a nightmare *touch wood* it isn't!!

I'm least looking forward to possibly getting stitches again, I had to get cut with DS#1, got stitches and catheter in for first 2 days. The #2 I tore and needed a few stitches but not half as bad as first time. Not looking forward to getting anymore. Hubby said that he's going to ask them to stitch me right up just after i have the next one lol x

pregnancy with Kai was a nightmare!! I cant wait to TTC though

I am not looking forward to the morning sickness. I had it 6-16 weeks with Kai, lost 3stone, puked every 15 minuets, nasty! hahaha.
Cant wait for the scans and feeling baby move and the bump!!

well lets see here.

I'm looking forward to...

The excitement of bringing a new life into the world
Naming the new life
Finding out the gender at birth (promised myself I would do that the next time around)
Giving DD a sibling
The movement
The in utero bonding
Decorating and getting ready for the new babes
A baby shower
New and cute maternity clothes

Not looking forward to...

Being bloated all the time
The heart burn
The waddling
Not being able to see my feet
The extreme discomfort and excess sweating
Random people making remarks or touching my stomach
Swollen feet
Birth (had a terribly experience with DD's birth)

Double post sorry

I'm desperate to feel those first little taps and kicks, the ones that don't jam you in the ribcage

and like yourself the feeling of going into labour naturally myself (I was induced with Ellie due to high BP) oh and the scans! I miss the scans!

I am least looking forward to potentially getting SPD again and the late stages of pregnancy where I just couldn't sleep/move without some pain and feeling like a fat whale

oh and the heartburn! Euuuughhh! and the aftermath.. my poor poor foof looked like a turkey stitched up at chrstmas

Most looking forward to;
feeling my baby for the first time.
Shopping, Shopping and more shopping.
Decorating the nursery
And being totally spoilt by DH and my family (They are all very excited)

No looking forward to the sickness, I hate being sick and get very upset at even the thought of it.

Looking forward to mostly everything. Not looking forward to morning sickness [FXd I don't get it

yeah, right!!], and being worried and scared about complications/being a bad mom/how to afford everything.
