Being pregnant was the most exciting 38 weeks of my life. I was extremely lucky in the fact that my body loved being pregnant. The morning sickness I had was never bad enough to keep me down. I remember thinking around week 10 that it was time for it to go away. It was just annoying to not feel good all day everyday. But by week 11 that all left and I felt great!
I soaked up every ounce of being pregnant. I celebrated every milestone. From the first flutters to the first kicks to the first time my belly moved. I took weekly pictures to watch the progress.
My heart aches for those who struggle with pregnancy. It’s such a wonderful experience and to not be able to enjoy it just isn’t fair.
Krew was very active but he never kept me up at night. Of course I had sleepless nights just because it was hard to get comfortable. I did struggle with round ligament pain through most of my pregnancy. Because of this I had a hard time standing or walking for long periods.
My doctor alway said I was measuring a few weeks bigger than I was but every time we did an ultra sound he measured exactly where he should be.
I never craved anything crazy or wild. Early on I started craving sweet things which I have never craved before. I’ve always been a salts person. I started putting lettuce on things like tacos, enchiladas, hamburgers etc which I had never done before. The biggest craving I had was milk. I’d drink close to 3 gallons a week. We couldn’t keep enough milk in our house it everyone made sure to have some there for me. I guess they knew not to mess with a pregnant girl and her cravings.
Now since having him I like sausage which I’ve never really liked. It was one of those foods that I’d eat if that’s what we were having but I’d rather have ham or bacon. It’s crazy what pregnancy does for your taste buds.
I really have nothing exciting to say about my pregnancy other than the fact that I seriously loved being pregnant. It was a time when I felt the most beautiful. All my insecurities about my body were gone. I had a glow, even I noticed.
