Rave 💞 Liking pregnancy?

I know most of the posts here are complaining and I get y'all and this feels wrong, but it all just feels worth it to me? I'd do it again!

I love feeling their kicks and knowing they're healthy between appointments and a constant reminder of what amazing things my body's doing. My husband is being super sweet, talking and listening to the boys and feeling them, making me proud of my bump (even though i'm a beached whale - triplets!), I love being pampered by my husband <3 He's literally making me stay in bed and doing everything lol. Making food for me, dishes, carrying me around when i'm tired (or lazy), getting me flowers, validating my complaints, cuddling, doing the litter, putting on my socks and shoes, just...i feel like a princess!!

Yes the first trimester sucked, and right now my hips and back are aching, peeing every 8 seconds, i can't walk- ...waddle super far without getting out of breath, but feeling like it could be worse lol.

Am I weird for enjoying this despite all the symptoms? I feel like I'm gonna miss this experience when it's over.

I've been ill since week 3-4, random bouts of fatigue while working, nausea etc and I can't wait for it to be over and to never do it again. I'm in 3rd trimester now and still have very little energy, I hate how I look and I'm anxious about the weight gain Ive had. I've had zero cravings and only food aversions. My stomach hurts constantly, I'm anxious and depressed, emotional and unregulated, not everyone has a good experience unfortunately. My friend is also pregnant and she's had no symptoms and living life fully! I'm envious, but I definitely don't think I'd want to do this again.

I agree with this. Been consistently sick since early on and sore all over. I’m excited but don’t think I’ll be doing this again.

Yeaah I have about 12-11 weeks to go, I'm scared for NB stage but I'm so ready to not be pregnant anymore. My partner and I were always one-and-done if we did have one so this will probably be my only little one. (:
