Sum up your experience of pregnancy in a sentence or less

[jalapenobusiness]

Hello all

I was just wondering if you could sum up your experience of pregnancy in one sentence or less - the more humorous the better ....

Exhausting but wonderfully special. Ps. I'm so over it now and ready for her to come out. (39 weeks)

Most anxious time of my life

Fortunately very easy but tired towards the end. (33 wks now and starting to feel it)

Thank you all!!!
My current favour is
"Worth all the puke"

Endurance test, worth every second.

First: Tired and sick, but exciting.
Second: Bone drainingly tired and the longest 9 months of my life.

1st one ok, till the end then spd
2nd NEVER AGAIN I hate being sick

1st - scary but exciting, only got nauseous when someone farted or the milk had gone off.

2nd - lovely, no sickness and happy in the knowledge he would be a 'sunroof delivery'.

3rd - again lovely but also weird as didn't admit I was upduffed until I was 5 months! The little sod also loved to put his feet up under my ribs and kick 7 shades out of me (now a very competent little footballer); also know he would be my last so cherished every second.

Definitely an only child

Ended too soon :(

I'm just into the 3rd trimester of my first pregnancy, but I'd say so far in a very long sentence:

An experience so much tougher than I ever expected, but also totally amazing, and when I feel him move, the anticipation of meeting our baby boy soon is so exciting.

First 18 weeks simply getting through a day and night was a challenge due to exhaustion, sickness, headaches, dizziness, achy boobs, leg cramps and insomnia. For someone usually so healthy and energetic, I felt like about 10% of the real me. It has got progressively easier since then, and I'm 28 weeks and apart from 'baby brain' and acid indigestion, I feel amazing in comparison and definitely have moments when I enjoy having a bump and being pregnant now.

Awful awful awful awful godawful, but worth it.

Mostly unpleasant and terrifying but with moments of utter joy and amazement.

Diahorrea followed by constipation followed by piles followed by prolapse

1st: scary, full of bleeding and fear of birth

2nd: less scary, still bleeding, more exciting, determined not it panic during birth

3rd: big surprise, tiring but easiest pregnancy of all. Terrified of the birth.

DC1: scary, delivery at 32 weeks due to PET, reduced fluid, IUGR and border line HELLP syndrome

This time: One catalogue of health issues after another, never doing it again, it's awful

Best time of my life - felt and looked amazing

Oh my good God what HAVE I done???

(Great hair though)

An unexpectedly anxious, (but simultaneously) boring time, during which I've been frustrated by how trapped I feel by my body and its new limitations.

I can't wait to get the real me back. Or at least a new version of the real me, with some interest in something other than pregnancy. It's made me extremely boring and single minded. I try to care about other stuff, but just can't... so, self centred and obsessive too, about something that is scaring and boring me. What a weird time.

I miss meat.

Horrendous both times, glad i'm never going to do it again

Rollercoaster: worrying beginning, delightful middle, very scary end.

very wet knickers and very weird dreams.
