I enjoyed being pregnant once the sickness went away. I like having a 'bump' and having everyone want to come and talk to you about the baby and when you're due and everyone is excited to meet the baby and I get breasts for the only time in my life (really small chested normally) so I like the new figure. It was like having plastic surgery without the pain and scars. Pity I did not keep the figure afterwards! I also liked feeling the baby kicking and seeing the outline of hands or feet and trying to guess what the baby would look like. And I know it sounds crazy, but I loved my home births too, I really enjoyed the experience, I was just so excited that I would get to see my child soon, the whole room was charged with this energy. It felt like a girl's night in.
I didn't like the very swollen ankles, going to the loo 20 times a minute or the fact that I have to be in a wheelchair in the latter stages because I have cerebral palsy and the weight of the baby is too much for my legs. The last time I was in a wheelchair for the last 4 months. I couldn't wait to give birth so I could walk again!!
My sister felt like you, could not stand to be pregnant, hated it, but loved her kids :)
