I am a 23 year old female. I want to get pregnant and I imagine how your body transforms. How does your body feel when you are pregnant?

The changes are highly variable.. Many people have nausea and vomiting with breast tenderness early on but some have no symptoms. Think about gaining 30 lbs over a short period of time. Late in pregnancy there can be swelling. From beginning to end most moms experience the need for more sleep. And for some pregnancies my patients state that they have never felt better and love being pregnant because they feel so good.
