My pregnancy was fairly uneventful, but I didn't like being pregnant. I know women who love it but to me it was 9 months of misery - nausea, heartburn, swollen hands and feet, a pinched sciatic nerve that hurt like a sonuvabitch, peeing every 5 minutes, rollercoaster emotions, neverending backaches...
My delivery was difficult though. I had so many tubes going in me and things attached to me my mom said I looked like an alien. I pushed for nearly 4 hours, at which point my son's blood pressure plummeted and they nearly had to do an emergency c-section. Had I literally not pushed him out the minute I did, they would have. I was so exhausted at that point that I didn't know what the hell was going on. But...it was all worth it in the end!
