How did pregnancy compare with your expectations?

Pregnancy was uncomfortable but easy I guess, both of them. I didn't enjoy it but it was tolerable enough to have two kids. Dh and I said, "well, it's time to start thinking about a family" and we clinked two shots of Jameson whiskey. I was pregnant the next month. I got knocked up immediately both times. Awful morning/day/night sickness though.

I hated every moment of being pregnant. I can't tell you one positive thing about it or how I felt. In fact, my ex had to bribe me the second time around....

I LOVED being pregnant!

It took me 3 years and several miscarriages before our first son was born.

That is too hard a question for me to answer.
I would have to go through each.
I was happy to be pregnant and had relatively no morning sickness except with one of the six, I had to stay in bed a minimum of 7 months with the two that lived. Labor was also not horrible for me so , really the magic was more when my cildren were actually alive and healthy.
I always wanted children. I can't say we planned precicely but we used natural family planning in between.

Not really good answers, I know. Sorry.

I had pretty miserable pregnancies. They were much worse than I was expecting, especially the second time around. I had a high risk pregnancy and was giving myself injections of Heparin every 12 hours, going to doctor visits twice a week, taking a bunch of pills. It was horrible. The first half of my first pregnancy was pretty normal, and then everything went to hell. I was retaining water so badly that by the end, I couldn't wear shoes. I lost 26 pounds in water weight in the first week after having my first son.

i always wanted a family
just did not happen
until the last sec
i was 42 when i got pregnant
and it was not like i wished
i was high risk, and every appt, nurse would ask if i had bled YET
was told baby would never make it
and child's "sperm donor" was an ass

BUT
i have a beautiful daughter
and he is an ex
so, it was what it was
and all is good

Awww paxi.. that's a great story! Mine were both pretty miserable. LOL!

I loved being pregnant. I was amazed by the whole thing, since I never expected I would get the chance to have a baby after waiting so long for mine.
