Did you enjoy being pregnant?

What sort of cravings did you have?

If you were working when did you leave for maternity leave?

How many months until you felt like you couldn't carry on with daily activities or started to feel the effects of pregnancy?

I had some incredibly strange cravings - boiled eggs almost everyday, Ben and Jerry's ice creams - I could devour a whole tub through out the day! And just normal foods that needed to be heated to different temperatures - one day I would crave cold weetabix, then on another day, have it heated up to the point that it had to bubble over in the microwave!

I loved being pregnant with both my pregnancies. Both very very easy, no morning sickness or cravings or any problems other than mild spd with the second. Had my first just shy of 38w by c section due to his being breech, my second went to 41+6w and then we tried an induction which didn't do anything so repeat c section it was. I live abroad and we only get 16weeks maternity leave. As a result I worked right up to the end with both pregnancies. I only work part time so it was fine. Can't say being pregnant made any difference to my being able to carry on with daily activities. Despite the spd I was doing housework, baking u pa storm, entertaining and work with no bother right up to the day before I had my second.

I loved being pregnant with my son.

I felt powerful yet fuzzy for all 9 months
