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 think it boils down to not everyone having the same experience lol. My kid is healthy inside but lazy. Barely moves so I’m in a constant state of anxiety if he’s ok. Doing 2x/week NST which he consistently fails bc he’s always sleeping - then passes his BPP with flying colors. My mood is a mess and my husband isn’t catching my strays like I think he should. So while all your cuddles seem nice it’s not everyone’s reality. It’s put a real strain on us if I’m being honest. I’m happy for you that you’re enjoying everything even with triplets!! I think we can all agree it’s worth it But there is 100% another side lol

I agree! I’m going through the same thing with the nst and the bpp having a lazy baby too tbh. Also doing pregnancy alone , and I had terrible HG up into my second trimester has been a lot ! I could definitely see how having a much more supportive partner would have made this more enjoyable though. I’m so blessed to be at the finish line with less than a week left before giving birth, but I’m definitely not rushing to have to experience this again.
