Pregnancy is ...[insert text here] ..

[glossyflower]

...a once in a lifetime experience for me, which I never want to repeat again!

Fucking knackering.

Elusive (ok only on cycle 1 of ttc #3 but still...)

Much harder the second time round (for me anyway).

But it's also completely amazing and I love having my bump!

Very very very hard at times.

Long. So bloody long.

The start of a slippery slope of losing all your dignity, haha!

...generally uneventful (if you're lucky like me), but then you get to the stage where you're struggling to get your boots on and you think "enough already"...

I was totally fine until about 35 weeks and then I hit some sort of wall. I don't remember being quite this ungainly last time around.

Its a PITA!

amazing

Surprisingly enjoyable!

I thought I'd hate it but I've hit the 3rd Tri and am still going strong.

I feel bad everytime I say this for the people who've had a hard time, but I'm looking at it as my reward for TTC being such hard work.

...not what I expected!

I usually have a very high threshold for pain/illness etc... but my nausea and tiredness are turning me into a self-pitying mess! Not looking forward to birth!

Not as I expected!
After waiting what feels like an eternity I thought I would love it and enjoy every minute but I can't wait for it to be over.

Littlemissexpecting jinx! I feel exactly the same. I want my body (and my normal appetite) back!

Something I can't believe I'm doing for the 5th time. My Dp says it's not morning sickness I have but moaning sickness.

Like a really bad 9 month long hangover, without the fun bit

...harder than I could ever have imagined, but completely and utterly worth it in the end

... easily come by, not so easily hung on to.
... very exciting once I can be reasonably certain it'll last.
... a thing of the past .

Tiring!!! And I'm only 5 weeks x

Notably worse second time around...
But the end result will be worth it!

surprisingly expensive! I budgeted for a baby but not for maternity clothes, pregnancy yoga, joining a swimming pool, eating the contents of my house most days ...

...full of surprises!

No good ones as yet but I live in hope.

Not what my body was designed for. Decided I am crap at it!

Owwwweeeeeee

...harder second time
...in no way preparation for having a newborn
...sucky
...exciting

I know that might sound contradicting, but getting that positive test is so exciting, and the sucky (I only seem to get the rough pregnancy symptoms - none of the glowing for me!) comes afterwards. Also, I could kill people who say that the uncomfortable nights in late pregnancy are to prepare you for baby. What a load of b$&@$&@s!! I've barely slept all pregnancy and am looking forward to having a newborn as I can remember from last time I got more sleep then than I did when pregnant!

Lovely and enjoyable with short bursts of.vomit, bit of extra sleepiness, and the occassional "ah shit my ribs are killing me"

Trying for pg 2 atm.

Well, not literally atm....that wpuld be gross.

With DC1: Wonderful, glowy, fun
This time: painful, tiring, far too long

And I'm only 17w pregnant!
