what was your experiance?

this is the first baby for me, very big shock to see that posotive test result and i've been so caught up in thinking about the fact it was happening that i haden't really noticed all that is going on, now i'm seeing the swolen ancles, mood swings, sleepless nights and feeling very dejected about it all, even tho i'm actually excited and happt to be doing this all......
but what i'd like to know is what was it like for everyone else? did you sleep alot, eat alot, not eat at all, love every minute of it, cry all the time?? what where your experiances?
(please nothing to scary i'm all ready freaking out over the foot in rib thing )

I had a lot of trouble actually believing I was pregnant.
3 pregnancy tests
1 from the hospital
seeing my baby on ultrasound for the first time...

I didn't have any morning sickness and I'll admit I've had the EASIEST pregnancy ever.
I sleep a lot- The further I am the more tired I get.

And the foot in the rib isn't scary- it sometimes hurts but for the most part my daughter just puts her little toes up there and wiggles them.
The other night I was able to count 5 toes with my fingers.

my first baby wasn't too bad, I didn't get overly big, I gained the right amount of weight but I think it all went to my butt and the baby, she was 8lbs but I looked like I was going to have maybe a 6lb baby. I had morning sickness pretty much the whole pregnancy, sucked but it only lasted an hour a day.I used to be able to seethe outlines of her feet and hands whenever she kicked me! it was awesome. I was in absolutely no pain near the end, I was still out walking (skipping) around. with my second it was more limping lol. I love being pregnant

thats kinda what i was like, it was 2 tests and now 4 ultra sounds later and i only just actually started to believe it, it really sunk in this morning when my belly started bouncing on it's own 

have you found it easy to get on with day to day things like shopping and cleaning? i'm finding the lack of sleep ald low blood preasure is stopping me from doing some basic things atm..

I had the worst morning sickness ever.In fact I'm scared of getting pregnant again because it was so bad!! I know every pregnancy is different so I am hoping my next pregnancy is the polar opposite of the one I had with my daughter.

aww that would be cool, seeing the little feet and hands. morning sickness is a bit of a downer but i'm guessing it's something easly forgotten about when baby arives...... it's all very exciting seeing things grow and change

wow, the doctors said they could give treatments if the morning sickness got bad at all, i'd ask the Dr about anti nausia stuff if you ever get preggas again, that aweful

I was taking anti nausea stuff! It barely helped  

I ate way too much and gained way too much weight. But other than that, i didn't really have any complications. with my last one, i was very very very tired all of the time and had tons of real bad swelling but with my other 2 pregnancies which were girls, i never had any of those problems. This last baby turned out to be a boy, so I still think that is why it was so different   I got real lazy during pregnancy and just didn't want to clean or anything. It just wore me out that much lol. I never got morning sickness. I would feel sick, but as soon as I would eat something, it would go away. Go figure huh? lol
