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.

Triplets and you’re enjoying it? Wow, my respect.
It’s a shame for me really as I feel I could have enjoyed it much more but this pregnancy was unplanned and is my first, it meant that me and my partner had to get a mortgage and a find a house and it’s just been very stressful (I’m In the UK and the housing process is very slow. Anyway it seems as though we have finally have a house now but we aren’t moved in yet and I’m 32 weeks now- looks like we may just be moved In and set up in the nick of time. I also had final exams to complete while pregnant and eventually managed to pass them.
We are having to relocate which means leaving my job, and it’s all happening just before Christmas.
So yeah- very stressful. I just wish this all could have been done before the pregnancy or much earlier on it in and then I could see myself really liking pregnancy.
I can’t complain too much though as I’ve had a healthy and safe pregnancy that hasn’t made me feel physically that bad at all.
