Would you say pregnancy is a positive or negative experience for women?

A bit of both. Spiritually positive and physically negative. Now for me so far motherhood has been the most positive thing I’ve ever experienced. The real good part is when the child gets here.

On both occasions giving birth, they have been the most amazing, overwhelming and emotional experiences I could ever possibly go through.

I don't know.. My first pregnancy was pretty good after the initial 3 months morning sickness everything else was fine but delivery was horrible. I had to have an emergency C section after 15 hours of labor :/ After she was born she didn't even cry... I don't know if it was 'cause she was tired from the labor but she was the best baby in the ward...
Second pregnancy was horrible I had morning sickness very badly I couldn't eat or I would get sick every morning/afternoon... things were hard on me.. and I told them I wanted a C section for the second... so that was fine... ended up having major postpartum depression for a year and a half but didn't tell anyone about it... She cried all the time in the beginning..

So yeah pregnancy sucks sometimes but your children make it worth it :)

My oldest is very sensitive and a bit shy.. I have to work on her confidence! She is a good leader but needs to use her voice more and not worry what others think..

The younger one is my kick ass little baby.. you piss her off she will knock you out and she tells you like it is.. She has my bluntness with words and her fathers toughness lol

I can only speak for myself. Some girls just complain for the sake.
Mind was very positive. I am just a positive thinker.
i had two very healthy pregnancies and natural deliveries. My body went back to shape when I returned to work after I stayed home with them for 3 years.
I now have two amazing kids. It’s my responsibility to raise them to be the best citizen for a good future for them.
Is it easy or hard…neither. It’s my duty to raise them. Part of life, love and living.

This is basically going to be down to each individual woman and where they are in their lives. For some it will be a positive experience and they will be thrilled with the idea of it. Others may abhor the idea of being pregnant.

It may even fluctuate for the same woman. Maybe being pregnant at 16 isn't appealing but at 25 she is then thrilled.

It is too situational I would say. Most women would say it is a positive experience I guess because you either want a child or you have ways to not get one. (as long as you life in a first world country). There are definitely cases in which is it not the case but in general its a choice. I know not a single mother that said the pregnancy was not worth it. (as long as this choice is not taken from them).

I imagine most women who want to be mothers would say positive. Get back to me in about 7 months when my pregnancy is over (if all goes well) and I'll let you know. How this pregnancy goes will determine if the baby will have siblings or be an only child.

My cousin hated her pregnancy so much she wanted to get a divorce. She would throw up a lot which gave her severe anxiety and mood swings. And her delivery was also very painful. But she was overjoyed when her baby was born and tried for a third one too.

Are you kidding? Permanently ruin your body only to have to deal with a fucking kid for the next 20 years? How is there anything positive about that?

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

Every woman I've ever talked to about pregnancy has hated the process. They love their kids, they love raising them, but they hate the pain, the constant peeing, the lack of bladder control, and how easy it is for them to get tired or lose energy.

Depends on the woman.  Like if she even wished to be pregnant to start with, also a few pregnancies are great and other pregnancies are a pain in the ass.

Your physical body takes a really hard hit either way. And it never goes back.

Your whole life can be swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

Babies are very very sweet. If you have the time, energy, and peace of mind to feel it.

Apple1996 · Answer

Positive experience. I just had a baby and already craving to be pregnant again cuz I miss it

TrueConfection · Answer

I personally loved being pregnant. I did my share of complaining, but it was amazing and I loved it.

Sour-rose · Answer

Yes. :) It depends if the woman is ready... aand if she ain't... it ain't gonna be positive at first.

Agape93 · Answer

Negative unless you deliberately want it. Been pregnant before, never let any of them survive long enough to be an issue, thankfully

Elliegirl · Answer

Both of my pregnancies were positive experiences!

anon1903 · Answer

Negative. Even traumatic. I've never been through it and thanks to us being 8 billion I never have to be.

Anonymous · Answer

I would say it's one of the most positive experiences a woman can go through. I mean getting to carry a life inside of you has got to be the most incredible experience in the world.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Depends on how it goes. You can be someone that really wants kids but your pregnancy as shit and you can be the opposite.
