Is pregnancy really that hard?

Question

I was talking to a friend and they said that pregnancy is one of the hardest thing for humans to do. Is this true?

Like if you were trying to get pregnant, what are the chances you will.

Answer 1

Getting pregnant is easy.  Being pregnant is horrible!  I was sick all the time, ended up in the emergency room twice, lost some weight and was lucky enough to have a healthy baby.  I thought I was going to abort with all my problems.  I laid in bed so much and was very depressed about being ill.  No fun at all.  And I was only 18.  Way to young to be having a kid.

Answer 2

i agree with mrs doyl

birthing it is the big challenge and then taking care of it feeding it diapering it clothing etc  

Answer 3

There is a 25% chance of conception every time you have unprotected s*x during ovulation...not a very high chance for someone wanting a baby really bad! It took hubby and I almost 3 years to conceive our child but now I am 8 weeks, 6 days along!  

Answer 4

Pregnancy for everyone is different. And each of my pregnancies were different. I'm pregnant with my 3rd and this one is the hardest, my back is in pain all the time and my legs hurt. But you know what once you have the baby you seem to forget it all. After I had my other 2 I would say I want to do it again it was great then I got pregnant and then I remembered the hard stuff. But in the end it's worth it.  And to be honest I think I have harder periods.  

Answer 5

It really varies from person to person. Some women are very fertile...some women are very fertile and the male is not. Both have to be fertile and healthy in order for a baby to come into the world. The woman also has to make sure that she has s*x during her fertile period in her cycle to make sure her egg has been released. In a way it does take a lot of planning...but often people who dont want to be pregnant get pregnant easily.

Answer 6

I think pregnancy (for the most part) is relatively easy.  It's the labor and birth I'm personally dreading! :)

Answer 7

Pregnancy is comparatively easy.

Having a child is the hardest thing ever!

Answer 8

The pregnancy itself is pretty easy, asside from the backpains, heartburn and just little common complaints. Not only that, you get to skip 9 periods, and have feet massages when you want :). I have throughly enjoyed my pregnancy. However, labor is one of the hardest things for humans to do. If your trying to get pregnant, it just depends on how fertile you are.

Answer 9

this depends on the woman ive been pregnant as many times as ive miscarried ive had 3 very beautiful baby's and 3 very horrible miscarriages being pregnant for me was scary at first but relay good and exciting in the middle and end

so is pregnancy the hardest thing for a human to do

i would say yes for some but not for others

Answer 10

Of course pregnancy is hard it varies in everyone.  Some people have problems or morning sickness while others dont.  Me I only had complications right at the end of my pregnancy where i was diagonsed with preeclampsia (high blood pressure) but besides that my pregnancy was very easy!  I now miss being pregnant! and cant wait to have another one in the future!!

Answer 11

It depends on the woman... I've never personally known one who said it was a breeze, and, for me---at 5'2", and 95 - 100 pounds, pre-pregnancy---it's 'that hard'! I keep picturing the end result, though, and, since I already have 3 kids, it's very easy to see the joys. :) (But, tell that to my ribs and back... They don't agree!)

*edited* Oh, GETTING pregnant! Well, with all 4 of mine, I took no longer than 2 months to get pregnant... I'm ridiculously fertile. :)

Answer 12

25% of fertilised eggs do not progress onto a full term pregnancy - sometimes, the mother know she was pregnant, sometimes she just assumes its a bad period coming a few days late. my dr told me this when i miscarried my first baby.

yes pregnancy is hard. i had awful sickness, symphisis pubis dysfunction, yeast infections, uti's, a kidney infection, bacterial vaginosis, queried kidney stones (haematuria), intermittent vaginal bleeding from week 5 to week 38, at 33weeks i was queried placenta praevia.

in between all this i had the normal sore b***s, irritability, fatigue, insomnia, hungry all the time then feeling like i was going to vomit, headaches, having to pee every 15min....

then it climaxed at 41 weeks when i went into labour. i was in labour for 23 hours, ending in an emergency section due to slow progressin of labour and increasin fetal distress. post partum, i developed infection in my wound which slowed my recovery down considerably.

so yes its hard. but look at my avatar - she was soooooo worth it.

Answer 13

Depending on you body and all, getting pregnant can be easy. As far as the entire pregnancy is concerned, it depends on the person. Some have it easier than others and others have it harder than others and each pregnancy is different. My first pregnancy was the hardest. Now that I'm pregnant the second time, it's not as bad as the first.

Answer 14

The world is currently home to about 6,707,035,000 humans.  How hard could it realistically be?

Answer 15

Getting pregant can be hard, but being pregant is not that hard.

Answer 16

Well, I find pregnancy hard in the sense that it has really been taking a toll on my body. I often feel sick (I'm almost in my 3rd trimester) and gaining the extra weight (even though I am pregnant) is depressing. I go through a lot with moods and emotions and preparing for the baby to me, is hard work. I have no idea what it's like to have a child and often find kids annoying, so I do worry a lot about how I'll raise my daughter. I also worry about taking care of a baby in general, because it's something I've never done before. So all that to me is hard, because it's such a drastic change in my life, and it's something that, if you don't have experience in, can seem really impossible to imagine in your own life.

Answer 17

getting pregnant is easy , being pregnant is another thing you get all sorts of aches and pains , uti, sickness , you have to depend on people around you for many things when your far along . back pain , no sleeping , pee like there is no tomorrow . but its all worth it when you see that baby you forget about everything.
