I think the first trimester really is hard because there is a great chance of a miscarriage and your worried about that and your body also changes so much and you feel really sick so I think that was hard for me. I wasnt actually gone threw birth but I know that will be hard to. (25 weeks with first)

bad part is not fitting into your old clothes the best part was feeling the baby move it is the most wonderful feeling in the world. plus it was a guessng game for me since i had no idea what the sex of my baby was. it wasnt by choice the little stinker wouldnt let me know. she moved everytime i had a ultra sound. but it was worth not knowing.

The hardest thing was the constant stopping on the road, so the wife could use the toilet. She never missed a toilet anywhere she went!

Worrying about what the future will hold. What if I have to go on bedrest? How will we afford my maternity leave (I don’t get paid for it)? What if there are health problems with the baby? There are so many questions that are constantly running through my head and sometimes it’s overwhelming. But, I also have never been happier and I think the best part is that anticipation of holding your baby for the first time. I think my husband will say the worst part is his moody wife who worries too much!

the best thing is knowing that you have a part of you and your partner growing inside of you and that your partner have created. the toughest thing about being pregnant is the multiple pains that you get and of course the pain during delivery. hope this helps.

for me, everything is great… except for the way my husband is freaking out. we can’t have sex because he feels like he is “humping” the baby. it’s so sick. but whatever… and what makes it worse is that during the second trimester, you want to have sex all the time! it’s so unfair to us! it seems as though he’s lost all interest in me… and he isn’t making up for the lack of sex. it would be different if he would tell me i’m beautiful or do things for me, but instead he goes out to buy porn and jacks off in the bathroom to it. then expects dinner to be made and served to him. i think the only thing that makes pregnancy so difficult on women are the men. they forget that we are still the women they knew before… we’re not just little body-suits to carry babies in. we still have a brain, and we still have feelings… MORE feelings…
MUCH MORE FEELINGS.
and then they like to tell us that we’re over-reacting to everything. it’s annoying. and it’s tough because i worry day-to-day if i’ll stay with him after she’s born, just because of all the hell he’s put me through in the last 26 weeks.
oh.. yeah… and books? books written for men?? for pregnancy??? HAHAHA… he won’t read them. screw that. he completely refuses. THIS SUCKS.

I have a hard time taking it easy at work, so the last few months were the hardest. Learning to limit yourself, taking care to not over work. It used to be that I would come home from work and just be able to crawl in to bed crying I was so uncomfortable. Even though cutting my hours helped, and hubby did everything he could, that unending uncomfortablefeeling in the last weeks was worse than the times of nausea in the first few!

The best part is the acctual dilivery when you see the babies face.

Pregnancy is easy, actually giving up a piece of yourselves and your lives to totally devote to this young new life is difficult, so in essence, the birth is the hardest part for pain and life changes it brings. Also remember that the hardest parts of life help you to appreciate the sweetest moments, and in you situation, you will have plenty.

I think the toughest part is when you are trying to take care of other children and a needy spouse while pregnant. It is difficult when the husband doesn’t understand why you are so tired after the 18th trip up and down the stairs to get his work clothes, dress the kids, feed the kids, make his lunch, make sure the kids haven’t destroyed the living room you just vacuumed, etc.
