1. One more than the other, but since I was an unmedicated bipolar I can't say

how much my feelings were influenced by that. (Also, being on bed rest for both of my 3rd trimesters was also not my favorite.)

2. meh... happiness had nothing to do with preg. no stress, good relationship. now preg

i was nauseous for like 5 months all day long and after that heart burn for the rest. interesting developing baby, but preg wasn't a huge gotta do for me. means to an end.

3. I kinda want to twist that woman's nose, 20 years after I had my kids.

What?

4. I was very happy, both times I was pregnant...

Even though there were certainly some discomforts!

I loved feeling my girls kick me, and move around inside me too...

5. All I can say is

thank goodness that style wasn't in fashion when I was pregnant.

6. Which time?

My youngest was tough, my partner stole my business in November, my oldest (a breeze to carry, 2 days of hell to deliver) started running away from home in December, and new baby arrived 3 weeks early in January. (96-97)

7. I have a friend who is very happy.

She is 45 and is having a baby she thought she couldn't have.

She will be a great Mom.

This is a surprise baby, the Daddy is happy also.

8. I had fairly happy pregnancies. After the morning sickness faded, I felt great.

9. No physical complaints, but the timing was bad.

I sailed through pregnancy without morning sickness or anything really. Even went in to labor on my scheduled due date.

But I was young, in a marriage that wasn't working, we didn't have much money, there was stress and concern over the basics.

I became a much happier MOTHER after my daughter was born. I got rid of the husband, which was the best thing, figured out a way to have a life, raised her myself and she is a beautiful, productive member of society. So the overall result was a happy one. It just took me a while to get there.
