What's it like to be pregnant?

My mom said early pregnancy was cool, except for the naucia. But late pregnancy was really tiring and uncomfortable.

 

Being pregnant was wonderful for me. From start to finish. You pee a crazy amount, your tummy grows like crazy (obvouisly) you have severe mood swings, but it all equals out in the end and is so worth it. When the baby is growing inside of you you can feel when it gets hiccups and when its moving around. My son would move his little butt and hands around on my stomach and in the last two months you could see him pushing on my stomach. I used to put headphones on my tummy and let him listen to music and he would move around when i did that. I loved being pregnant. In fact after i had ajna my body felt like it was missing something.

 

It's like carrying around a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any minute!!!!
You bunch of terrorists!!!

 

I really wonder where you get all this wonderful truth from. I guess we can definitely tell you're not into your mid twenties yet.

From the books I've read, and the parenting course I took last year, I was informed it was late teens-early twenties, but whatever..ahah.. That is based on the physical readiness to bare children.

I know you're trying to be helpful and all... But I don't feel like all of what you've offered is applying to me... As far as a disease/disorder: BULL.SHIT.
It's called maternal instinct, and it's not as though I intend on having children right now. I have direction in my life, I know where I'm going in the big picture, and at this point, I don't have any goal to get married to anyone and have their children. There are other ways, no?

Anyhow.. That's all for now.

 

Yea, the body is better at having kids in the low 20s, but we don't just have kids anymore out of the bodies. We have kids, and we get jobs to support those kids, and it takes a man and a woman to make a baby.

 

Well, everyone develops differently, physically AND mentally, so I'm not basing it solely on the physical aspect .

As far as jobs go, uh.. What .. What struck that up? Obviously you have to have sufficient funds to raise a child...

Yes, you do require an egg and a sperm to create a child.

Who is this "We" you keep speaking of, anyways?

 

sounds like me normally... there isnt going to be much hope for anyone if i get pregnant....!!!!

but this threadss pretty cool. and good luck everyone who is pregnant .... cant remember any names, its 7am...

 

aw, now, that last line isn't ver fair. men are also responsible for the children WE create. he does have several very valid points on the maturity and physical level of health that is the best phase for having children. not that you're doomed to fail to raise a healhty happy child if you don't wait til your mid twenties. i'm having to say that i'm clearly in green's camp this time.

 

ahah

I was feeling mean/defensive last night.

Very tired also.

Forgive me Green?
