I never enjoyed the pregnancy time and that because I had what my doctor called "toxic pregnancy" . The first six months I have been vomiting every morning plus another 10 times during the day and when I wasn't vomiting ,I had nausea . I couldn't stand any smell of anything , from soap to any food . I couldn't feed myself and often had to go to the hospital to have a perfusion .

I hated being pregnant. I guess because I had twins it made things a lot worse. I felt sick a lot and constantly worried about the babies health and whether I was doing the right things. Towards the end I was very big and uncomfortable, found it hard to sleep and walk very far. I got quite a bit of pain. However, the birth was fantastic and I would happily do that again if I didn't have to be pregnant first!

I have three children and I hated being pregnant every time, they were much wanted babies and I love them more than I could express in words, but being pregnant was horrible. I was quite sick up to about 16 weeks, I suffered severe indigestion and heartburn throughout and I also had bad backache. I am only 5ft and I hated the feeling of not being able to bend in the middle and not having enough space for the baby, it was very uncomfortable. I would say my second pregnancy was the worse and my third was the best (but still bad). Once I had given birth I was fine, I loved parenting and my children are my life, so if you have an uncomfortable pregnancy don't worry it does not make you a bad parent.

My first pregnancy was really enjoyable, I didnt even mind the morning sickness really. Everything was really exciting and I bloomed.

This time around my pregnancy was just awful, I didnt enjoy any of it, and was just relieved when the whole thing was over and done with and I had my little girl in my arms....Never again!!!

I hate being pregnant, probably because I always am. I am currently on my third pregnancy, and all three times that I have been pregnant I have hated each day, each week, each month all throughout. I hate gaining weight (I always gain two people when I am pregnant), and I hate the backaches. I hate having to do one single task and it taking 10x the effort than it normally should. I hate not being able to do lots of things because of my super huge belly, I am always stressed out, I am always tired - it is definitely a bore. I also hate not fitting into clothes and having to buy a whole new wardrobe just so I'd have something to wear (I always give away my maternity clothes after pregnancy because after every pregnancy I always tell myself that was the last, I always prove myself wrong). And of course, the cherry on top of the icing, I hate and I dread labor.

I am always scared of it, even though I've done it twice before already. I always get myself worked up just thinking about that day nearing.

The only real thing I enjoy about being pregnant is when I'm name-picking.

I did enjoy feeling the kicks, especially early on in the pregnancy. That was it though!!

I did dread the labour but now I have had my twins, I feel like I could easily cope with another birth, it was quite a good experience for me 17 hour labour plus 2.5 hours (with an epidural) between twins.

Sitting on my stiches and the after pains were much worse for me.

^ Ugh, you've stirred up a lot of memories. I completely forgot about the turmoil after pregnancy. Oh yes, the suffering still wouldn't end for me even after childbirth.

The stitches... I hated peeing just because of the stitches, I was afraid to walk, and I didn't quite know how to wash myself "down there". It was an absolute struggle for me.

Then second to that were my breasts becoming too sore and swollen. It was like the pains would never stop coming.
