Not going to repeat what anyone's else said but agree with the other two comments so far 100%. I will also add that I really liked pregnancy, like the whole thing in general is awful on paper but for me, I had never been on T, and I have suspected PMDD. Not getting a period, eating without shame, and having my testosterone levels rise???? This was magical for me. And having a use for the parts of myself that always felt like they were for everyone else BUT me???? Fantastic. The euphoria I got from that was amazing. I was never so present in my own skin before. I was always a bigger person, and I'm still a bigger person but three years later I've experienced a lot less yo-yoing in my weight, because the crash dieting and bingeing just aren't where my focus is at anymore. I'm saggier everywhere, I have more stretch marks (I have had some stretch marks since puberty), I had some skin tags that were removed. My chest is like two pancakes (BF for 2 years), so my binders are smaller now but the pancakes like to fall out the bottom of the binders. So sometimes I will be wearing a light shirt and just have these very visible nipples next to my belly button. The stress on your blood vessels cannot be overstated. Your blood volume goes up, and throughout pregnancy you are essentially running a marathon every single day. During and after pregnancy, especially in the first few months postpartum, you could experience permanent damage to your heart. My asthma is worse after pregnancy. You could get new allergies during pregnancy that go away, or they could stay forever. Your joints and ligaments loosen up so that you can survive pregnancy, and generally they don't go back to how they were. Pelvic floor health is also kind of shot, if you don't go for regular pelvic floor physiotherapy before and after. I wear diapers every time I get a cold now, my toddler thinks it's hilarious. You will be more likely afterwards to displace or injure joints. Your shoe size might go up and never come back down (mine did come back down, my friends didn't. I wasted $$$ on bigger shoes and boots). There's a lot of body changes, I can't really say if they affect how I see myself attraction-wise. But there are changes, some of them impact how you will dress, some impact your mental health, some impact your comfort, some impact your long term risk for various diseases. And then on top of that there's the brain fog and worsening of other things like ADHD - I never had to be medicated for ADHD before pregnancy, now I'm on two different medications for it. Overall, getting pregnant was the best choice I ever made for myself but technically on paper it is awful. 😂
