What has been the hardest part on you during a pregnancy or even after? I know many people always say that a women is the best multitask around but my mate never realized how much is done in a days time span when I would be at home and not working. So the time comes when I need a day, even a weekend day I would deal with that and I keep hearing "man there is so much #$%# to do". Do men just not realize this at the state, wondering why we are tired all the time?

I mostly miss the downtime when I feel rested after the birth. The doctors always tell you to rest when you can but thats really hard to do with a newborn!

I am having a tough time right now, being in my first trimester and having an adventuresome crawler/cruiser. And being a quasi-single mommy. I'm just beat and there's no rest in sight!

The hardest for me was the lack of sleep. There wasn't any other task really, other than learning to deal with a baby who never, ever stopped crying (so it seemed).

It is very odd when you look at a new parent, most times the Mami as they are getting less sleep than Daddy (if he is around). I really wonder how I made it sometimes with being away it seems like for weeks on end. That has to be my top thing I think.

I have a bad back to begin with so the hardest thing fro me during my pregnancies have been the strain it puts on my back. With my last pregnancy I was in constant pain for the last 4 months. It was almost intolerable at times, but not so much so that I wouldn't do it all over again for a third baby!
