Best bit...the excitement and anticipation of my baby, no idea what we were having.

Worst bit, the back and pelvic pain, excruciating and disabling.

Best bit - the fact I’m having a baby, buying cute clothes, thinking about the baby

Worst bit - sickness, aching, how bloody long it takes. This is second pregnancy and I just want it to be over so I can get on with having a baby.

Best bit - finally being pregnant and having a healthy baby
Worst bit- the constant worry something would go wrong/ be wrong

AriAliyah · 09/03/2018 14:46

@mommybear1 I feel your pain. I am only 4+5 so at the riskiest point in terms of mc. I'm terrified! Haven't felt any proper excitement yet as I'm so scared!

Thanks for everyone's answers so far! Smile

a) best bit about pregnancy - getting a baby at the end of it

b) worst bit about pregnancy - getting fat, knackered, snoring, heartburn, GD.

Best bit - getting involved in a great antenatal class and making wonderful friends
Worst bit - fear of birth (it was totally fine). Though living in a Premier Inn at 37 weeks gone comes a close second!

@EssentialHummus I don't even like being in hotels when I'm away for a night with work, let alone being 37 weeks! Bravo you.

Best bit was giving birth
Worst bit was everything else!

AriAliyah · 09/03/2018 14:58

@Ubercornsdiscoball not even going to ask what giving birth is like! I'm bloomin' terrified!

Best bit- kicks! Oh how I love baby kicks
Worst bit- crippling spd and constant anxiety

usernotfound0000 · 09/03/2018 15:04

Best bit - apart from the baby obviously, I loved how body confident I was, something I've never really experienced before or since!
Worst - insomnia and the worrying, especially early on.

AriAliyah · 09/03/2018 15:08

@usernotfound0000 and do you should be! Baby bumps are beautiful.

I'm in a current state of permanent anxiety. Can't wait for it to ease as I am further in to pregnancy..

@usernotfound0000 so, not do. Doh!

Don’t worry about giving birth. It happens how it happens. You just go with it!
