Answer 6

The odd thing I noticed is that I was much more laid back and kind of felt like I was floating on a cloud a lot of the time....except when I had to freak out an cry for no reason on a few occasions ( pesky hormones!)...It was strange as I am normally a bit high strung and a busy body- the first time I was ever able to relax so much was when I was pregnant.....and its not like having a baby was my one and only goal in life- it happened easily and my pregnancy has been normal. I think when you are pregnant,depending on how much your personality plays a role, your body releases these awesome endorphines that make you one happy camper,well for me any way.

  It is tiring and quite heavy to be pregnant-its like switching bodies with a stranger for a few months-very odd those body changes.....

Answer 7

it feels like you gained 100 Lbs and u and yer man hate each other and r always hungry and sad and misreble!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes but it's such a wonderful feeling when the baby starts to move around that something is growing in side of you . It's priceless....

Answer 10

This is the adoption section btw

Pregnancy is tiring, hard work, and wonderful it is alot of things all rolled into one and the end result is nothing short of a miracle

Answer 11

You don't need to ask.  You already said it.

Only missed one thing.  Like you are gonna puke, at least part of the time.

Answer 12

I would say it totally depends on the person, everyone has a different experience...

Answer 13

well im 12 weeks and i have been miserable! just sick and tired and ugh feeling all the time. changes from person to person tho!

Answer 14

First trimester is horrible, you're way too focused on all the nausea to realize that your baby has a heartbeat. Second trimester, I'm loving it, I get to find out the s*x next week and I'm super excited, I feel bonded to it already, I hate gaining weight, but even though I can't see my baby, I'm completely in love with it. I get tired easily, I often crash on the couch while watching movies with my fiance. Its an overwhelming experience, its gets rough, but its well worth it. For some women I'm sure it takes longer to fall for their baby and thats why so many adoptive parents end up getting screwed, once the bio mother sees the baby, I'm sure she has a change of heart.

Answer 15

[This is the kind of question Florida Girl hates for me to answer!  Oh, well, she has be banned for 'bragging' about being fertile anyway.]

Pregnancies are different for every woman, and each pregnancy can be different for the same woman.

Here is a book that helped me:

The library will have a lot more.

Good Luck.

Answer 16

its very very tiring!!! but after you see the baby, it all goes away & the hardwork is worth it :)

Answer 17

E. all of the above.

i also felt like my body was taken over by an alien for about 9 months.  then my children were born... and now my life is taken over by a toddler and an adolescent.

ps... this would probably be better asked to women in the pregnancy forum.  this is the adoption forum and not all women have been pregnant.

Answer 18

all of the above.

Answer 19

Being pregnant was the most miserable 18+ months of my life (I have two children & 2 miscarriages).  I suffer from extreme, all day, morning sickness.  With my second child, I threw up at least twice a day every day for my entire pregnancy.  I even threw up while in labor with both of my children.  I lost dangerous amounts of weight and had to be hospitalized at one point.

And don't even get me started on the leg cramps, the heartburn, the constipation, the mood swings.  

Oh I hate being pregnant.  Hate it.

Answer 20

In the first 3 months nausia is your middle name. They next 3 months are your best months. You have lots of energy, even so that your s*x life (appitite) gets a little hotter. Your last 3 months are full of cravings, swelling, heartburn, heatrashes, and frustration. You feel like a whale, can not reach the floor to pick stuff up, don't sleep well, if all, and you feel like crying all the time. In the last two weeks, the nesting syndrome kicks in. Everything needs to be spotless, you pack your hospital stuff every other day ext. The last week feels like a whole pregnancy, and time doesn't seem to past. When labour starts you enter a new world of pain that seems to last for ever. After the birth of your baby, when you look back at everything, it seems so distant, that you kind of misses it!!!!
