How does being pregnant change your life?

I'm 22 I'm not pregnant but would love to be one day.I have been with my b/f Ben for 1 year.I would like to get an idea of what it is like?How does being pregnant change your life?
a baby shower is definitely not a good testament to what pregnancy is like. i am not very far into my pregnancy but basically my life isn't about me anymore. everything i do is centered around this person that i don't even know. when i go places i have to take tons of things into consideration, will there be people smoking? will there be somewhere for me to rest? and thoughts beyond... how in the world am i going to take care of a BABY?!?! i still sleep til 11 on days i don't have to go to work!!! my husband and i have been married for 6 years and we felt that the time was right and i know that it is but that doesn't mean that i don't have doubts because children are a lifetime sacrifice and i will always recommend for someone to wait a year or two longer rather than just jumping right into it.

good luck with your ponderings.How does being pregnant change your life?
It changes everything in your life! EVERYTHING...and for the right person and the right time in their life it's perfect, but make sure you are ready!
it makes you more mature
You have to completely give your life over to the care and well-being of another person. If you're truly ready this will be a rewarding experience. If you have one too soon though, you may end up resenting the child(ren) you have.
WELL, YOUR LIFE IS PRETTY MUCH OVER, UNLESS YOU ABOUT THE THING.
Hiya, I just turned 23 this month, and my baby was born Jan 4, 2008 (she is almost 8 weeks). For my husband and I, our life wasn't what changed the most, but what became the center of our life. It's the most amazing thing, loving someone that you just met soo much. She became all that was important, we don't feel like we are missing out on anything when we have to be home early with the baby and other's are going out to eat or bowling or something, it's like, everything just changes, what you want to do, what's important, it all immediatley revolves around this little person! We are already talking about wanting to get pregnant again, we are thinking over the next few months, maybe May or June. It's so exciting, and seeing how much my baby girl changes every day is insane. People always say how they change so much, but really, it's amazing. And her little personality is starting to show more now, she laughs at you when you make silly faces, and when shes sick (now... which means no sleep for me... ), and I pick her up and hold her close, she calms down, she knows I'm mom, and mom will make it better. It's so unreal.

I would say when you are your BF are ready, maybe once your married, definitly go for it! I don't understand now, how anyone could ever have an abortion after experiencing this. It's like, no matter what situation I was in, I could never regret having her, or wished to give her up, she's perfect.

I know Im not making a whole lot of sence, there are a few downfalls to being a mom, like the sleep deprivation. But it's so amazing that even without any sleep, I just have to hold my baby and look at her and it reminds me how worth it it all is.

Good luck to you, hope I made at least a little sence!

i absolutely love being pregnant. when i was first pregnant i didnt feel ';connected'; to the baby and it really brought me down. however, the first time i felt it move was amazing! i feel so connected to him/her now. i love talking to him/her. i love feeling and seeing the baby move. it has brought my husband and i so much joy. i cant believe we made something so wonderful. there's no real way to describe how it's changed my life. it's something you can only understand once you've experienced it. it's pure amazement.
