First pregnancy I enjoyed it but not breeze through it...my second and now third and last was traumatic, exhausting, mental challenge for me. I had hyperemesis (night and day vomit) the whole pregnancy and was stuck in the house for half of pregnancy with IV lines and meds...I wanted pregnancy incubation to be shorter...I was not happy because I can't really do much when I am a person who likes to be active doing a lot of stuff...in the end when I met my second child I was ao exhausted that I ended bonding with him the next day. This last one I am on my 4th month and still sick...I am staying positive.
Yes, I envy those who don't so much problems or sickness when they're preggy.

I had a great pregnancy with my first (my daughter) until I developed kidney stones and swollen kidneys and needed surgery at 34wks...but even so, I loved every minute. with my first son, I had an exhausting pregnancy and began having neurological problems and fainting/cardiac issues near the end (I was going blind and ended up needing induced at 39w4d before my vision suffered permanent damage)...and once again, even so, I loved it.

Now I'm pregnant with #3 (another boy :-) ) and even though I'm exhausted and dealing with a lot of physical issues caused by the pregnancy, I love it.

With all 3 pregnancies I've been so sick that I've lost weight and barely gained any, and they've all had their individual challenges.

It's all about attitude...honestly. Some women have such miserable pregnancies that they can't enjoy it no matter what and I can appreciate that, but I know plenty of women who have had easy pregnancies and yet they were miserable because they had a bad attitude about it. There have been times during all of my pregnancies that were frustrating and/or scary, but I always feel beautiful and strong when I'm pregnant so I love it :-).

I am only 7 weeks. Definitely exhausted. Been real nauseated but haven't actually got sick. I have found that if I keep myself in a routine I feel a lot better. However on weekends its extremely hard to go to bed at 7:30!

I had a miserable pregnancy but absolutely loved being prego! this pregnancy isnt being any easier but once that baby starts moving and responding i love it! i cant wait to get there! this first trimester is crazy and i could absolutely due without it but it so worth it!

I think it depends on what part of the pregnancy I focus on. I'm highly independent (to a fault) and I hate asking for help, so the physical limitations are driving me crazy. And I'm getting chubby after working so hard for weight loss, and I'm tired all the time and my asthma has gotten progressively worse, and that first trimester tried to kill me...but...

This child was completely unexpected - I'm edging towards my mid-thirties and single so I was coming to terms with just adopting one day - so even when I'm feeling my worst I'm SO GLAD this baby is here. And I'm having fun planning baby showers with friends and family, choosing a name and decorating the nursery. I even think it's cute that people want to rub my belly for luck lol, and that everybody is so excited about this new little life. It is for me a joyful experience, whatever frustrations come with it are so worth it. :)
