re: View on pregnant women

I dreaded the surgery, but it really wasn't that bad once I reconciled the fact that I had degenerative disks and I would fight back problems my whole life. It was outpatient, and the day after was really the only bad one. 2 years later, I still have occasional back issues, but nothing like before.

She should go see an orthopedist and get an MRI so she knows what she's dealing with. Physical therapy also helped mine a little.

she did see them on an initial consult and he recommended steroids, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers. with her last flare up 3 years ago this nipped it in the bud pretty quick, but this go round it has persisted after the meds. that's why she's worried it's a disk.

I HATED being pregnant. HATED HATED HATED IT.

Of course, I had "morning sickness" AKA vomiting 5 times a day for the first 20 weeks both times. Had to have IV hydration at home it got so bad.

I'm 5'3" and normally around 120 pounds. I have a very short abdomen. My son at birth was 10 lbs. 3 oz. and 23 inches. Big dude cracked one of my ribs at 33 weeks and he was 10 days late so that hurt like a bitch for 10 weeks.

And his birth was a horror show that I won't detail. There is a reason my kids are 5 years apart.

But, I thought I looked really good while pregnant. I didn't gain much weight, all that throwing up is a good way to do that. And I got what I thought was a really cute haricut while pregnant with my daughter.

Now I look back a pictures. OMG OMG.

I wasn't a house but my face got HUGE and round and I looked like some kind of bloated pumpkin face.

And there should be a code amongst hairdressers that makes them refuse any drastic haircut for a pregnant woman. That "cute" haircut was an absolute disaster.

Holy shite, us too..

We are due in July.

On the topic, depends on the ratio between belly and face weight gain. I find the belly size sexy but some women gain a lot of face weight also and honestly I don't love that look (though I would never say such to a lady carrying our future). My wife hasn't gained much face weight but I think the rule probably doesn't apply to your own spouse, so even if she did I would probably still be very attracted to her.

Not attracted to pregnancy per se, but I hit it from the back side up until a few days before the birth on all 3. A man has needs.

Get used to working around a basketball. Pregnancy does some marvelous things to breasts. Pussy changes shape some too.
