For me:

Pregnancy was easy, I felt so good, it was the first time I felt good about my body even though it was big, I felt beautiful. No migraines because of the hormones, which was glorious, and crazy high sex drive, the additional blood flow made sex feel so good.

Labor was weird - mine were mostly "precipitous", meaning I didn't really feel anything, silent labor, until the transition, so I would like puke and have very sudden hard labor for about a half hour then a baby.

Childbirth sucks. My midwife told us to do fisting to train for it but we didn't, and ought to have, I got torn. Again, mine were fast, no pushing on purpose my body just did it but even a small baby is too big to come out that way, and mine were big (smallest just under 8lb, biggest right at 10lb). Still, better than abdominal surgery and recovery.
