GettyPregnancy definitely has its pros (not having to clean the litter box, guilt-free triple scoops) and its seriously sucky cons (morning sickness, stretch marks, LABOR!). But every pregnancy is different, and one gal's pregnancy perks are another's major pain! Some love rockin' the beach ball belly, others can't wait till it bounces off. Some get seriously gorgeous hair, others get, well, nipple hair! Love 'em or hate 'em, check out these first-person rants and raves for both sides of the pregnancy story!
1. Pregnancy Boobs
Hated 'em: I already have pretty big boobs, but pregnancy took them to a whole new level. They were too heavy for my regular bras, gave me backaches and were crazy sensitive. And I don't think any men looked me in the eye during a conversation for 10 whole months. Fun times.

Loved 'em: For the first time in my life, I finally had big, bouncy, beautiful boobs. Pregnancy breasts were like a free boob job!!

Getty2. Pregnancy Weight Gain
Hated it: I hated that you gain weight everywhere, not just in your belly. Tell me someone who loved pregnancy weight gain. I sure hated it!
- Melepopini_511
Loved it: I loved being able to eat what I wanted, when I wanted, and not worry about the weight I gained. I loved being able to be fat and beautiful all at the same time.

3. Pregnancy Skin
Hated it: My only complaint about pregnancy was the myth that your skin "glows." All I got was the glow of ACNE! I never had much acne growing up, but pregnancy was hard. Red blotches! Not pretty!
- shineyaim
Loved it: In my first trimester, the acne I've been fighting all my life miraculously cleared up! My skin's never looked better

4. Maternity Clothes
Hated 'em: I didn't enjoy having to buy a whole new wardrobe, and the outfits they have for pregnant moms just look so silly and frumpy.
- BabyGavinsMom
Loved 'em: I loved shopping for maternity clothes! I started wearing the cute tops even before I started to show!

Getty5. Pregnancy Belly
Hated it: I hated bumping into things with my big honkin' belly. I just felt like a fat truck driver.
- utmommytobe
Loved it: I loved rubbing my belly, the way my husband would talk to my bump, and how I could even see and grab my baby's cute little feet when they would poke against my belly at the end of my pregnancy!

6. Sex During Pregnancy
Hated it: I hated that I kind of lost my sex drive. I felt too barfy in the first and second trimesters, and then too huge and tired to have sex in the third trimester.
- mybabysmommy4eva
Loved it: I had the BIGGEST boost in sex drive when I was pregnant. I loved it. (And so did the hubs!)

7. People Touching My Pregnant Belly
Hated it: I hated everyone, especially strangers, trying to touch my belly. Annoying!
- KARICK3247
Loved it: I loved having people touch my belly when I was pregnant-I felt so proud.
