I had moments during my pregnancy when I thought, “No way I am getting pregnant ever again!” There were days when my lower back hurt like hell, and I was feeling ugly and bloated and breaking out all at the same time. However, I still find being pregnant can be a nice and rewarding experience, so here are 28 perks about being an expectant mom.

2. Having a special secret between you and your partner about your pregnancy in the early weeks.
3. The anticipation of how the baby will look like, and spending time looking at all those cute baby photos and videos on internet.
5. Knowing you’ve got nine whole months to plan, dream and fantasize.
