I am 34 weeks pregnant. I like to feel my baby moving. I enjoyed having two scans and getting pictures of my baby. I am getting rather large now and getting clothes that fit is a challenge.

First of all! congratulations that you are going to be a mom soon. I have never been pregnant...ahm..but my wife was:-). We had our first baby boy this january and i can't really describe how this wonderfull experience has been for us. My wife had a little trouble lately because the contractions started right after 29th week but as it was not the time so docs advised her bed rest. I was doing my masters research, presentations, thesis defence etc, and at the same time houshold works like cooking, cleaning and shopping etc. It was really tough but you know what, the very feeling of becoming a father was such an awe-inspiring and motivating factor that it kept us going and with all those troubles we still really enjoyed a lot in each others company, feeling our baby. There were a lot of things we really enjoyed about pregnancy but the most fascinating was when we saw him the very first time during ultra sound. He was so active just like an athelet and he gave a very hard time in letting us exactly know, what he was (boy or girl):-) there were many other things we enjoyed about it and a whole story after birth. but it would be very long to share here. I wish you a very healthy, cute and great baby, and best of luck.

I think I remember being very sick to my stomach most of all and it clouds some of the other memories. I liked the way people were very kind and looked after me as a pregnant woman. I worked through those pregnancies and my staff and coworkers were so wonderful! I also remember the excitement of choosing names and getting the nursery ready and I loved choosing things for the baby coming and making plans. That was the fun part to balance out the heartburn and nausea and tiredness and back spasms!

There were quite e few things abot being pregnant that I enjoyed, but one of my favourite things was lying on my back and watching my stomach ripple as the baby did flips. I also liked taking alot of deep breaths in a row and feeling the baby get really active as the oxygen high hit him.

I liked knowing that my son is safe in my belly. The world can be a scary place, but I felt he was secure in there. I know that may sound crazy! Now that he's a wild toddler, I miss being able to keep him in one place.

i absolutely loved being pregnant. In fact, after my first child was born, i became pregnant straight away - i missed the fact that that i was never alone when i was pregnant. My husband asked me the other day what my favourite sound is. It is the saound of a baby's heart beat in utero.

1. being able to take naps without an excuse in the middle of the day. This unfotunately is a benefit of the first pregnancy because once you have a toddler running around, there's no rest for the weary. 2.playing games with the baby like catch the foot,or kick the daddy (lolz) This is a great way to bond with baby before birth. 3.the baby moving and it's your little secret no one else knows =) 4.the glow,even on the days even on the days you don't feel it. 5.i also love my ultrasound result wherein i found out that the gender of my baby is a girl. 6.i like when my husband spoils me during my pregnancy =) Knowing that soon you'l have a little one to cuddle and nurse. 7.i like picking out for my baby's things. 8.Nine months seems like a very long time, but before you know it,your baby will come out! ENJOY BEING A MOM!!!

I hated the pain. Hated the large belly. I hated the clothes. But, I did love the fact that whenever I would eat like a pig, no one judges you. They think it's cute because you are "eating for two". Although you really don't have to eat like a pig while pregnant. I just took advantage of it. Remember gals, all that baby weight is cute until you deliver and then people are going to wonder when you are going to get rid of it. LOL
