Hi, I am wondering what everyone's best part of being pregnant is/was? What did/are you enjoy/enjoying the most? What are you most looking forward too after birth?

Keep reading about all the bad things but not very often I get to hear about the good things. Thanks xx

My highlight so far is feeling baby kicking/flutters. I also now have a bump and can finally start to enjoy pregnancy as I now actually look and feel pregnant

I'm looking forward to buying lots of clothes for my baby and meeting them for the first time! Also having a family and seeing them grow xx

How many weeks are you Op?

Best bits = movement and flutters, getting an early night as it’s okay because I’m pregnant 😊

This is my second and I loved those few days after we came home after my 1st, the newborn baby smell, cuddles, just watching them in awe in their Moses basket... new born clothes 😍 it goes so quickly so make the most.

Can’t not wait for a bottle of Prosecco and steak dinner (medium rare 😍)

I'm in the middle of pregnancy #2; have spent a total of 9 years ttc so far! So I'm very very grateful to be pregnant.

I enjoy feeling flutters and having DH, DD and friends feel my tummy for kicks and wiggles. I love having a bump and love how other people - particularly women - notice and chat about it and are so supportive and happy for me. I love getting to sit in the 'pregnant lady' seat on a bus!

I am getting a lot of internal and external scans because it's a very high risk pregnancy, and I love them - it's such a fascinating way to see what's going on inside, and helps me feel much less anxious about things that could go wrong.

I’ve enjoyed feeling movements, finding out he was a boy (I didn’t care either way but I now refer to him by his name when at home rather than bump which is helping me feel more bonded) buying bits and pieces ready for his arrival and my relationship with mil seems to have grown more too.

I’m most looking forward to sleeping on my back again as I wake up with a sore hip when I lay on my side and obviously holding my son for the first time Grin I thought time would stand still at this point but so far it’s flying past!

I love the kicks and rolls and how baby reacts to music or when her daddy rubs my belly and talks to her!
I love how kind people are always offering to help including carry stuff to my car (shout out yo the staff at homebase and tesco!)
When the midwife checks the heartbeat on the doppler!

Definitely feeling the baby squirming around. I also just felt like effing superwoman the whole time as well! [Grin]

Oh, and the luscious hair and eyebrows! I know that sounds odd but my eyebrow hairs are usually prone to falling out and it was great not to have my usual crappy sparse eyebrows for a while!
