Waking up to pee 3 times a night, and not being able to fall back asleep. Also, being really hungry. The best part is having someone to always talk and babble too, even if you're alone in your house.

In the first trimester I had very little energy and felt like sleeping all the time (minor sickness too). The second trimester was great, because my energy level was high and I felt like I could take on the world! Then I became exhausted again in the 3rd trimester. The 3rd trimester is a bit harder because I'm a lot bigger, uncomfortable and have a harder time breathing. Right now, in my 3rd trimester, my skin is stretching so much that it feels like I have a terrible sunburn on my belly....all the time. But, all these "bad experiences" are just minor. I really love being pregnant!! The best part is feeling and seeing my baby move. Of course when I actually get to hold my baby, I'm sure will be the best moment in the world!!!

For me, the worst parts are the nausea and the very end where you feel like a huge blimp and are just totally uncomfortable. The best parts... feeling your baby move for the first time... watching you belly move with the baby... seeing my daughter in awe at the thought of a baby in my stomach. There are way more good things about being pregnant than there are negative. :-)

The best parts of pregnancy are getting attention, people always asking you how are you, and getting excited to see how big you're getting, and congrats. Also, not feeling so guilty when you pig out, or sleep an extra few hours.
The worst parts are the gas, the people constantly telling you horror stories or wives tells, don't do this and that. Also the wait of when you actually start looking pregnant and people realize you aren't just packing on the pounds. Also waiting to finally have your baby and holding him/her.

The worst part is the nausea and of course the inabiliy to move around very well when you gain weight. BUT the best is feeling that little life moving around inside. Small tickles or big flips....they are all wonderful, because you know that you hold within you a life.....

The worst part for me is the anxiety I have of wondering from day to day if eveyrthing is okay. I have what my dr calls "a lazy baby" so he is not as active as other babies are. Days go by and I don't feel him at all and its hard to think positive, but I know he is okay from my appts with the dr. Another ba part is waiting for him to arrive. It seems like the days go by so slow now.
The best part is knowing that I am carrying a beautiful healthy baby boy and I am doing everything to make sure he is safe in my belly,
is due 10/2. DD turn 1 on 10/24!

For me right now (I still have a waaaays to go) is not being able to sleep on my stomach anymore. I wake up about 5-10 times a night trying to get comfortable and or having to pee. I'm also anxious to meet our new baby. The best part is just knowing that there's this little life inside me growing and it's a part of me and my husband. That's sooo freakin cool!

The worst part of my pregnancy so far is the weight gain (20 lbs). The best part is feeling my baby move.

The waiting to meet your child is the worst part. Plus the sleepless, uncomfortable, irritable, long nights.
The best is the end of labor when they put your baby in your arms. I like the little hiccups too.

The worst part is the nausea and being tired ALL the time.
Everything else is the best. It is the BEST thing I have ever done.

Morning sickness! For four months, I could hardly eat without barfing, no matter what time of day it was! I actually lost weight in the early part of my pregnancy because of it!
Other than that, I think the thing that bothered me the most was the fact that my center of gravity changed every day. I was a total clutz, and can't tell you how many times I rammed the refrigerator door into my belly!

the worst was feeling dizzy ,sick and when it came to having a baby bump feeling really heavy and just uncomfortable
The best is hearing ur baby's heart beat and seeing it on the scan as well as not having ot carry all the heavy stuff like bags etc and also the end of labor when u get to see ur baby for the first time.

my worst part of being pregnant was being 38 weeks pregnant during an August heat wave when the power went out.
as for the best... for me I guess it was just knowing that my daughter was coming into the world.

My first tri was horrible, i had horrible morning sickness, i was sick the first 3 months and could barely eat or keep anything down. The second tri was the best, i felt GREAT and had energy and i felt beautiful. The third tri has been OK, the baby gets bigger and it starts to get uncomfortable. My baby loves my ribs, he seems to live in them and kick them a lot, thats kind of painful. Now I just want him out!! lol

worst i would say comes at the end, when u can feel your hips and pelvis spreading apart, its very painful, and u can feel baby sitting on your bladder . the best is when u get to feel baby moving around and the little hiccups they get.... im 34 weeks now and am very ready to not be prego anymore, the pain is taking its toll on me!!! ugh!!!
