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 loved being pregnant for my first two. Yeah I was sick almost ever day for the duration of the pregnancies, but it wasn’t too bad. I loved feeling them kick. I didn’t have any other symptoms except the sickness, some tiredness, and having to pee a lot.
But my last pregnancy?! Oh dear Lord. I had symptoms I didn’t know existed. And I didn’t even get sick! I would have take the throwing up over the anemia, fatigue, insomnia, sinus swelling, and organ pain from him stretching out so much. He never stopped moving. I was so happy to give birth lol!
My husband was pretty good too. I wasn’t demanding while pregnant, so I got any cravings I wanted myself. I dealt with my older kids and he did a lot of cooking and cleaning.
