Things to love about being pregnant

[Cheffie100]

I'm only 8 weeks but having a crappy time with ms (albeit today is lots better). In my slightly more chipper mood I am thinking about all the nice things about being pregnant. Please post any that you enjoy...a nice reminder to us all for tougher days.

1. Dreaming of Christmas 2013 with my very own family
2. My massive more pert boobs and cleavage
3. Cravings for fruit and veggies
4. Although its early days seeing the odd moment of Dh being excited
5. Being able to go straight to sleep
6. Having this secret which no one knows about

To the person who said wishing to be a size 18? I would not wish that on my worst enemy I'm hoping not to exceed S14 my whole pregnancy but I'm only 23 with a lean figure & barely eat. Mine would be - seeing your mans face when u see the scan for the first time. - Being spoilt rotten -yoga pants - sleeping alot - not having to account for things as much and relaxing!!!

Didn't mean that to come out wrong just saying I'd never want to be that big. :)

Kitty, please make sure you eat enough and get all the nutrients you and your baby need! The 'baby weight' will fall right off if you're naturally slim and young.

Agree with scuba...kitty I am not sure that the fact you "barely eat" is something to be celebrated/proud of when you're pregnant

Kitty - I made the "size 18 "comment as I have friends who have had problems conceiving because they needed to go on a healthy eating plan!as was too slim!
I think people assume you can get pregnant just like that and if ever had problems conceiving most would swap a BFP then a size 8 waist!!
That's all!!
Bring pregnant, being healthy is key!!!!

Being able to say yes to pudding without massive guilt is the best thing so far but I'm only 8/9 weeks so there's lots of other nice stuff to look forward to.

No hangover after the Christmas party.

My hair is shiny & my nails look better than they've ever done - no splitting or peeling.
Feeling kicks, wriggles and turns.
Having pud.

-I love rubbing and patting my bump (just being honest)

-I adore feeling baby kick and move.

-I like eating what I want and not worrying about looking fat.

-The excitement of a tiny little one on the way

Oooh and I agree - chosing a name - if you and your DH are not on different planets that is very fun.

Another one, a slight stealth-boast, but still. I'm pretty average not pregnant: neither especially thin or fat, pretty or ugly, though definitely short. So no one makes comments about my appearance. But for the second time I have been lucky enough to "carry small" and gain little weight apart from the bump and boobs. So I do get lots of comments that I like to consider complements of how "neat" or "tiny" I am.

Not having to think about contraception!!!

Lovely thread OP!

Mine are: gorgeous hair and nails. They've never been so lustrous!

• always having a topic of conversation with people - they've always got something to ask you about
• after TTC for nearly 3 years, sex for fun!
• Pull up trousers, just seems easier somehow
• not having to diet but (delightfully) my weight being stable. Choosing puddings and chocolate
• DH indulging my whims
