What do you think is the worst thing about being pregnant? Im not very far along yet, but i would definitely have to say the nausea and getting sick. I don't really have any of the other symptoms yet though. Im sure as time goes along it will be the feet swelling and the back aches.

Well, I'm not pregnant yet but most women I know complain about nausea and also their position to sleep when they're almost at the 9th month

I just gave birth to our 3rd in February. I think the worse part of that pregnancy was the nausea and having a hard time sleeping towards the end. I strongly suggest getting a body pillow. They work wonders!!

yea i have heard a lot about the body pillows. all the ones i have seen are kind of expensive. do you know a good place to get them? The past two days has been horrible for me. I have had nausea worse then ever. But i still have a loooong ways to go.

Well i can't say I can relate on that because I didn't have morning sickness with either of my kids but for me i would have to say being too hot in the summer and just feeling heavy all the time.

yea a lot of people told me that it is really bad during the summer. someone told me the best thing to do would be to sit in the air conditioning. but thats not really an option for me since i have to work 5 days a week.

so was it hard for you to work being pregnant? I am wanting to work up until i have the baby but i dont if i will be able to do that or not. i am on my feet 8 hours a day. and ive read that you can work while your pregnant but if you are on your feet all day its best that you not do so. So im guessing i will either have to quit sooner then that or be transferred in to doing something else. My back is already starting to hurt when i have been on my feet all day.

LOL Mine is the "Woddling like a Duck" thing.. thats my WORST! I have never had Morning Sickness with any of my Babies but I have had the swelling.. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be but towards the end of my pregnancy the weight of the Baby got the better of me. btw.. Im 5mths and a Mother of 4.

The nausea was definitely the worst thing with my second baby, my little boy, I was sick the whole pregnancy. But with my daughter it was just hard being so big, I gained 50 pounds with both of my kids and that is alot of weight to carry around =) So I would say at the end when you are so big it is really hard to be comfortable in any position, sleeping, walking around, sitting....anything =) But in the end having that percious little baby is worth all the pain and misery you go through!! Good luck and I hope you don't get too miserable =)

I think the heavy belly is difficult, as it makes you uncomfortable to sleep and walk due to it. I feel very tired.

The absolute worst thing about being pregnant is the weight gain, than the back pain I have had back pain with both of my pregancies throughout the whole pregnancy. I only got sick with my first daugther during the 1st 3 months.
