Kim Kardashian West -

"For me, pregnancy is the worst experience of my life! LOL! I don't enjoy one moment of it and I don't understand people who enjoy it [...] I just always feel like I'm not in my own skin. It's hard to explain. I don't feel sexy, either—I feel insecure, and most of the time I just feel gross."

Serena Williams -

The tennis star had a very complicated pregnancy. She shared: "It began with a pulmonary embolism [...] This sparked a slew of health complications that I am lucky to have survived. First my C-section wound popped open due to the intense coughing I endured as a result of the embolism. I returned to surgery, where the doctors found a large hematoma, a swelling of clotted blood, in my abdomen. And then I returned to the operating room for a procedure that prevents clots from traveling to my lungs. When I finally made it home to my family, I had to spend the first six weeks of motherhood in bed."

Jaime Pressly -

"The truth is that I love my baby to bits, but the rest of it sucked. Pregnancy was the biggest killer for me. I hated it–I hated being fat. My hormones were all over the place and I acted like some lunatic, picking fights with my boyfriend over how he made my coffee. On top of that I had this hideous 'pregnancy mask' skin discoloration which completely covered my face."

"I would have seven babies if I didn't have to be pregnant. I hate being pregnant—the lack of energy at the beginning [and] having to change your diet... It's a huge adjustment, and you have to change your whole lifestyle for a few months."

"I hated being pregnant. I felt like 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.' It's beautiful and it's great just like everyone says, but there's another side to it. My back. My feet.

Whitney Port -

"I love my baby but I hate my pregnancy [...] Dealing with the extra hormones and being very sensitive to everything and feeling outside pressures.
