Q: What Have Been Your Favorite Pregnancy Moments So Far?

So I'm getting to the point where I've got some of pregnancy aches and complaints, but there are also some moments I've absolutely loved about this pregnancy. What have been your favorite pregnancy moments so far?

Mine would have to be feeling the movements..although getting the big ultrasound also ranks right up there for me. Thinking about that moment when the tech said, "It's a girl!", I still get choked up and want to start crying.

I love feeling the movements, sometimes at random times of the day, like she saying, "Don't forget about me in here!" I also really like watching my belly move with the movements. I have been able to see my belly move since around 23 weeks although lately I can see it a lot more. It's just so funny to watch sometimes. It often makes me laugh.

The other day, DH was hugging me and the baby starting moving, and DH could feel it that way too, without even trying. He was like, "Is that the baby?" and I said, "Yes!" That was cute, like we all had a family hug!

Another aspect I really enjoy about this pregnancy is sharing it with DH and how considerate and thoughtful he is to me and seeing his face light up when he feels the baby kick or we hear the heartbeat in the the doctor's office. I never had a good or close relationship with my father (my dad seems to have trouble relating to the entire human race, if that's possible), and I can just tell DH is going to be a wonderful dad to our daughter, something I never had as a child.

My pregnancy was awful!!! I was constantly running to the balcony to heave up anything and everything I ate. As a fetus, Kyleigh was a very picky eater!

My favorite moments would have to be when I first saw the ultrasound when she looked like a kidney bean. Then feeling her move the first time. Of course when my hubby felt her move it was awesome too.

The very best part of my pregnancy was when it was over Very Happy

The pre-eclampsia made me feel awful-as if throwing up constantly wasn't bad enough!

My favorite pregnancy moments with Hannah were those which I spent in my prenatal yoga class. I felt so close to her then. Also, I had my portrait painted nude when I was prego with Hannah. With my first pregnancy my favorite moments would have had to be those I spent in childbirth classes with my dh. There were three other couples and it was 12 weeks long. We just loved it. I loved feeling her move in my tummy. We called her sharkey.

my favourite would have to be right now in the 2nd trimester.

I havent felt this good, happy and content for as long as a can remember. Sometimes i have to remind myself that i am pregnant cause i feel like i can do anything.

Most of all i love feeling Grace roll over or when she starts kicking me!! and my growing belly too!! Smile

My favourate parts were feeling Meek's kick, when i found out she was a girl and probably when my midwife who i'd become very close to turned up at the hospital and said 'i'm delivering your baby'.
