I mean, other than looking forward to having a baby. Want to focus on positives rather than the negative symptoms!

I can think of:

Sex without hassle of contraception
Breasts bigger (make DH happy)
Excuse to go shopping
No hassles of periods

Any others?

DH will go to the shop for me in the evening and buy me as much chocolate as I want, without complaining, little sweetie.

Maternity leave for the last month which has mainley been spent revelling in nesting and meeting other pregnant women for cake. Lovely!

Agree about the dreams .

Happy horomonal state - rose-tinted specs view of life - feeling sweet, contented and nesty during the middle 4 or 5 months (i.e. after nausea/tiredness of first few months goes away and fed-upness at being the size of a Renault Espace kicks in at the end).
