For me the one thing I really hate is that I can't sleep. I am unfomfortable and have really bad restless legs and leg cramps. If can fall asleep, I wake up three times a noght to go to the bathroom. What do you hate about being pregnant...Come on, be honest!

For me it's the stretchmarks, I got a lot of it on my tummy, thighs, butt and back of my legs. The morning sickness, nausea, peeing every freaking minute is gone after I gave birth but the stretchmarks are still here.

I remembered when i was pregnant i was so thin because i threw up everytime i ate. I usually got dizzy and feel so hot in the afternoon. at night i couldn't sleep i felt uncomfortable lying down. Then my back was aching terribly and the pimples was spurting on my face. i really felt so ugly when i was pregnant.

I hated my "evening" sickness. But I enjoyed my pregnancy :).

I hate the tremendous weight gain and the hip pain that makes it so hard to sleep. Being pregnant is just uncomfortable... I don't get leg cramps, I've got no new stretch marks and morning sickness has been over since the first trimester, but I've still got a ton of aches and pains and bad moods! I can't wait for little bug to get here so this will all be a distant memory!!!

i can say the the happiest moment of my life was when i was pregnant. why? because like most pregnant woman, i have been pampered by my husband. i, however, do not like the nausea and vomitting part. it leaves me weak.

I didn't mind being pregnant until about the 7th month. My tummy was pretty big by then and I felt like I was carrying a whale, especially with my second pregnancy! Sleeping on my side every night got difficult as I love to lay on my back and belly when I sleep. I basically roll around all night and I had to make a conscious effort to stay on my side while I was sleeping when I was pregnant.

One thing? There are so many things to hate about being pregnant. 1. Throwing up 2 - 4 times a day for 9 months. 2. Stretch marks. 3. Aching pelvic muscles when you walk. 4. Getting out of bed to pee numerous times a night (as you mentioned) 5. Sitting on a soft sofa and then looking funny trying to get up. Funny though, I loved being pregnant both times and would like more kids. :)

So far, I enjoy my pregnancy. But if I have to mention one thing that I don't like, it is that somenights, I have to wake up every 2 hours to go to the bathroom. It's annoying !

More than the physical changes, I really hate the pressure to look good all the time. I mean, who wants to be a laughing stock?

The thing that was the worst for me was the heartburn. That's really the only thing that really sticks out in my mind that was really bad for me. I didn't get muscle cramps too much and I was lucky enough not to get stretch marks this time around. But the heartburn was horrible!! There were so many nights that it was so bad that I had to sleep sitting up and I always had to keep a supply of tums with me. The only other thing I can think of that was bad was getting stuck in our couch. That thing sucks you in even when you're not pregnant but being pregnant made it even harder to get up.
