I loved being pregnant. Although the second time was not as enjoyable as the first since I was carrying twins. I would up loosing 10 pounds after I had them because I could barely eat but I had lots of energy. I worked the day I was in labor and did not even know it because they came a month early. I was able to loose all my pregnancy weight the first time because I breastfed up until 6 months when i found out I was pregnant again. Being pregnant is great people treat you so different. Just have to get past that first trimester.

I loved being pregnant! My boobs went from B's to DD's & I finally had some curves! (I've always been waaay to skinny.) I gained about 50 lbs during my pregnancy but I still loved the way I looked! I was pregnant through Thanksgiving & Christmas...I ATE! Haha. After Benjamin was born I realized how much weight I had put on. I thought I'd be able to fit all my old clothes...WRONG! LoL But I told myself I wasn't going to loose all the weight on PURPOSE so I could keep some 'shape' ...my boobs stayed at DD's till Benny was about 18 months old (i breastfed for 26 months) and now that he's almost 3 ...they're GONE! *sniff*sniff* But I adore my little man! I've wanted a son for as long as I can remember and I got my prince! <3

I think I felt pretty much the same as lizziebtv, fat and unattractive I gained alot of weight and my breast turned in to water melons!
Although my pregnancy was without much pain....I diddn´t like being pregnant but I would do it again, only because it IS worth it

I loved being pregnant, loved my bump but unlike most women here I did worry about my weight and I found it hard seeing the scale go up and up and up. I was already very insecure about my body because I was over weight so after gaining 44lbs from my 1st pregnancy I hated my post-pregnancy body. 19 months later I gave birth to baby #2 and only gained 28lbs but I can honestly say I was so unhappy with how my body looked. My son is 5 months old now and I've lost 17lbs but I have a long way to go and despite loving pregnancy and labour and delivery, the way my body has changed has made me completely insecure.

I was fine with how I looked when I was pregnant, but afterward when I saw what damage had been done... sigh.

I think pregnancy for every woman is different. I did not enjoy my pregnancies at all. I got huge, fat and puffy all over. And just like Suzie mentioned in the video, I had horrible looking "cankles" too. Looking back, I wish I could've let go of my insecurities but I always felt huge and unattractive.

The episode that played for me was all about getting the nursery ready. I think there nursery was very nice and would be all right for a boy or girl.

As for the question - I wish I would have worried more about weight. Mood swings were definitely a big issue. I did not enjoy being pregnant, but I enjoyed having a baby after the fact. :)

I had a hard time watching my hard-earned body slip away. I was prepared to gain weight, but I was never prepared for the ROUNDNESS of pregnancy. Round belly, round boobs, round face, round ass. Everything went. And now I'm left with two boobs that look more like two cracked eggs hanging from a nail...yikes!

I was pregnant not too long ago my baby boy is just 5 months old and I enjoyed every moment and did not worry about the weight at all I gained 35 pounds. I just wanted to enjoy the moment and months! I was very active so I wasn't worried about the weight also my baby was born at 40 weeks, 8lbs 22inches long!

I relate to Suzy because I have a little boy and I was worried too about relating but we are very close so far and he truly is mommies little boy!

I LOVED being pregnant. It was the best winter I everhad - I wore sandles, opened the windows (drove my man crazy). Body image was never a problem. I did gain weight, but I felt so complete. I became a childbirth educator afer that. It was and still is an amazing experience being a mom. :-)

My doctor warned me that I was gaining too much weight, but three days after I had the baby, I lost 25lbs in water weight! I couldn't believe it! You think about it so much while it is happening, but after the baby is born, it really does seem to disappear. We always forget to take care of ourselves after the baby is born, but because I didn't take care of myself, my back went out for 3 weeks and I was unable to be there for my baby! My husband had to do absolutely everything. It was awful. We have got to remember to take care of our bodies so we can really be there for the little one.

I loved being pregnant. My weight was just right and I never stressed over it.

Comment by Mom on the Run on September 18, 2009 at 12:37am

I forgot to mention that I can relate to Suzy's worry about relating to her soon-to-be-born son. I have two girls and a boy. I spent far more time with my son, but it's funny when my son gravitates to my husband. I'm mom, but I will never be dad.

Comment by Mom on the Run on September 18, 2009 at 12:36am

I gained way too much weight while pregnant. Blame it on no morning sickness at all. In fact I gained weight in the first trimester. Sigh so years later I am still trying to lose the weight. My downfall during my 1st pregnancy I drank too much OJ. I had stopped all diet soda and was craving more than water. The other two pregnancies I drank more water but couldn't stop snacking. Oh well, tomorrow I exrecise!

The only thing that I liked about being pregnant is not feeling fat. I just felt round. I knew it wasn't due to me over eating or anything so I was okay with it. Now that my youngest is 13 months and I'm about 50 pounds overweight, I know its my fault...

I never worried about my body when I was pregnant ,I only worried about the baby.I loved being pregnant and feeling the baby move .It is one of the best things I did in life! I felt it was my responsibility to bring a healthy person into the world. I did get large,I am only 4'11" so any weight gain was shown and I have very large breasts which only got larger. I had 4 children and I always lost all my weight so it didn't bother me and all I could think about was this is a person I will be bringing into the world who need a healthy life ,I didn't want to bring any harm to . I had plenty of time later to lose weight and I did. Looking at my body it hasn't changed much a few stretch marks,but that is part of life.

When I was pregnant I didn't gain much weight on the first trimester. But after that, the weight I gained was unimaginable :D The supposed maximum gain of four pounds reached seven to eight pounds. My breast became larger during pregnancy and became much larger when I started breastfeeding my daughter.

Despite all the changes, I can say that I enjoy my pregnancy days. It didn't hinder me to do the usual things I do. Once common comment of my officemates is that I don't seems pregnant :D

I just looked at my growing body as a temporary state, and as an exciting science experiment with something new to learn everyday! I gained 50 pounds, 15 more than recommended, and it took me two years to lose it, but I really enjoyed my pregnancy and didn't focus overly on my changing body.

Comment by Jessica Blocker on September 16, 2009 at 10:21am

When I was pregnant I just went about daily life as normal as possible. I ate when I was hungry, and what I wanted. I actually appreciate my stretch marks, and chalk them up to one great achievement. I actually look at the marks as a tree of life across my belly. As for my boobs not much changed really.

When I was pregnant I never ever worried about my weight, I enjoyed eating so mcuh, is as if when one is pregnant the tastes so much better... the experience is amazing, nothing compares to it. And I never worried about how I would look like after giving birth, it was fun being able to eat and enjoy the food so much...

I miss being pregnant..
