Whats it Really feel like to be Pregnant?


Question:
From a curiose expectant Father.

Answers:
Emotionally, aside from all of the hormonal outbreaks, it's the most beautiful and wonderful feeling any human being could possibly experience.

Physically, although I was healthy and had no complications (and I loved being pregnant) - it was absolutly draining. OK - this may be a little too graffic, but if you want to really know what it feels like here goes.

Imagine that someone has grabbed you by your nads just hard enough that you don't feel like you need to go to your knees - yet hard enough that you feel a little sick to your stomach and you are very uncomfortable. That basically sums it up for the first trimester (i.e. morning sickness)

Being pregnant is hard on a woman's body - it's funny how something so magical and so special - wears you down.

When I was pregnant with each of my children, my back ached almost non-stop, my breasts were so tender - it actually hurt to wear a bra - or to wear a t-shirt to bed. ---- me feet looked like water balloons that were excessivly filled with water and ready to burst at any moment (that made walking a little uncomfortable) - Although I only gained about 30lbs. on average w/ each of my children (Imagine having to carry 6 five pound bags of sugar around with you non-stop - never being able to sit them down for a breather or any type of rest). My front over-powered by back and I waddled like a duck to keep my balance for about 4 months.

Finally.labor. hmmmm - someone actually gave you a swift kick to the groin - not once, but repeatedly once every 2-5 minutes for hours upon end ---- by the time you get to that point, you don't even really feel the watermelon sized bundle of joy coming from an opening the size of a quarter.

In the end - when you see that baby, the last 12-24 hours seems to get swept under the rug. After a few days, you basically forget all of the pain and swelling (except for the fact that for months you can't fit back into any of your old clothes ---- but that too will pass).

Hormones rage during pregnancy, so be kind and be gentle and know that may not be enough. dismiss harsh words that may be spoken, because chances are she won't remember she said them 5 minutes later.

Have fun w/ your pregnancy and enjoy your children like there's no tomorrow!

It's the most wonderful feeling in the world. The bad is deffinatly outweighed by the good. I loved it!! Loved feeling her move and knowing that my body was by nature, taking care of her, so I was already a wonderful mother. Can't put into words. It's the most amazing feeling in the world. Not always the most comfortable, but amazing none the less! Congrats!


It is really full of excitement and often you feel like a patient.morning sickness and .


Been preganant twice and it felt different both times, at times you feel all Mother Earth and other times you feel like an unwanted visitor in your own body. Just the fact that you're growing a new life can be hard to come to terms with. Ultimatley with all the discomfort, fear and worry it can be fantastic~! P.S. A supportive and caring partner makes all the difference.

beautiful
we are trying for another
the movement inside is amazing,
put your hand on your partners stomach, when the baby moves, its fantastic
i miss being pregnant!!
good luck


It really doesn't feel like anything until you go into labor. Each woman is different; some have sickness and can't stand being pregnant and others are symptomless and have a smooth pregnancy. There are days or nights when the baby starts to kick or do flips and that's when you realize that you have a human being growing inside of you , a tiny little baby! This makes you realize that it truly is important to take care of your body for your baby's sake.

Going into labor is the hardest part, but the most rewarding! You never truly know how much your own mother loves you until you hold your baby in your arms for the first time; watch your baby sleep quietly and realize that thinigs will never be the same, and you don't want it to be! I hope this helps. you can't really feel your tummy as it grows - only when you bump into things or knock things over. it feels natural.

Congratulations future daddy! Welcome to fatherhood. hope you're ready!!


Honestly to a pregnant woman it goes mostly like this..The first 3 months.she is miserable. Morning sickness, being tired..not feeling herself. She can't feel the baby move yet so while she's elated to be pregnant.she doesn't quite get what it's all about. The next 3 months are the absolute best. She has energy, she can start feeling the baby move, and she can stop feeling fat all the time because she is actually starting to look pregnant. People start paying attention to her belly and asking her about her baby and every woman LOVES to talk about her baby. The last three months are that time when she isn't really miserable per say but just tired of being pregnant. She really wants the baby here and now and can't wait to hold her little one or the first time in her arms. She is also a little anxious because she's not sure how labor will be..especially if it's her first pregnancy. But everything she went through is so totally worth it the first time she she's her beautiful baby for the very first time.. Congratulations on your baby!

PS - you can always help by giving in to her craving and feeling sympathetic all the time, but don't forget to tell her daily how beautiful she looks, because while deep down she knows she's not fat..all her emotions make her feel as if you might think she's fat!
