Does anyone else

feel like this..I hate to admit it!!! But please dont judge me....I dont like being pregnant!

Re: Does anyone else

I absolutely hated the 1st trimester...loved the second...the 3rd ehhh...the only thing I can say I love are his movements. Don't feel bad if you don't enjoy it...there are millions of great moms out there who didn't/don't like being pregnant. You also haven't been feeling good so that's reason enough to feel the way you do.

Re: Does anyone else

I can't say I am thrilled with this entire process either but I can't help but be amazed that there is a little human growing inside me. The first trimester was awful and thought it would never end. I didn't start "liking" it until the second trimester when the baby started moving and kicking and we had the sonograms done.

There are A LOT of changes going on with you and your body and it's hard to sit back and watch it happen out of your control. But after your baby will be here, your body will be yours again AND you will have that new life with you too!

Re: Does anyone else

this 1st trimester has been tough on me. I love the fact that there is a little baby growing inside of me but most f the time I am just sick/tired/nauseous etc

Re: Does anyone else

I HATED the first trimester. I had MS, food aversions, gas, headaches, bloating and fatigue. I also didn't look PG at all yet so I just felt yucky about my appearance. We waited 12 weeks to tell everyone so I was an emotional basketcase and had to put up a "normal" front at work and with friends every day.

Second trimester, I don't hate anymore but I can't say that I am enjoying either. I'm sick of not having "my body". Not being able to see my waist, sit down and curl up in a ball or snuggled next to DH. I hate not being able to be silly and just run down the street for the fun of it or race up a flight of stairs for constant fear or falling. I hate having heartburn all the time and the newest thing - 'roids!! BUT, it is better than the first because I'm not sick everyday. I LOVE seeing my baby in the sonos, and I get amused when he kicks. Though sometimes I even think "okay, can you chill out in there for one minute??".

So, yes, I agree. I do not enjoy being pregnant! At all.

But don't get me wrong, I feel truly blessed to have a child growing inside of me. That doesn't mean I have to like the day to day.

Re: Does anyone else

I liked my pregnancy up until the last 2 weeks or so. I haven't had a bad pregnancy, no throwing up/just nauseousness, I've only gained 10 lbs. I've been tired but very few days have I been exhausted. But these last 2 weeks I've just become so uncomfortable. I can't sleep and my hips and back hurt. I still love feeling her move, but I really can't wait for her to come out now.

Re: Does anyone else

i am not having fun at all i always thought i would love to be pregnant but i feel terrible ~ sick, tired all the time i am having a rough time lately! I am excited that i have a little baby growing inside me and it is amazing and feel so lucky and blessed to be pregnant... but not loving the side effects....

Re: Does anyone else

I hated it, pretty much from day 1 until the end.

I felt like my body just wasnt my own, to me there was no day that I was like, wow being pregnant is great! I cant even say I liked feeling the baby move, it was a novelty at first but once is got stronger and regular, I was like okay kid settle down. I just couldnt wait until the end.

And I actually said to DH the other day, I would go through my c-section and recovery again tomorrow, but you couldnt pay me enough to relive pregnancy any time soon!

I will say the end result it worth all the discomfort, my is the light of my life!

ETA: Oh this is how much I hated pregnancy, I told DH there must be a better way, like why cant I lay an egg or something, and he said that they I would have to sit on it for 9 months but I pointed out that in Happy feet the woman lays the egg and the dad takes care of it until it hatches! I think that would be a better system!

Re: Does anyone else

I am so glad you posted this. I have really had a great pregnancy. Except for fatigue in the first trimester. I did not really even feel that pregnant till 30 weeks. I am 32 weeks and I am getting overwhelmed. So much to do and I really sad to admit dont enjoy the really hard kicks. Especially at night. I am also getting a little out of breath to boot. My body is not really bothering me (size) its just I have alot on my mind and this baby seems to want out all of a sudden. Sorry. just a little off day for me.

Re: Does anyone else

Nice to see this post. I am currently TTC again and I am dreading the BFP. I know that sounds so selfish and awful when so many women can't even get pregnant but I really hated being pregnant. I hated the heartburn, the uncomfortable feelings, I even felt claustraphobic at times with her in my belly.

I LOVE being a mom but I really hate being pregnant. I wish I was one of those women who love it.

Re: Does anyone else

I liked everything up until 29 weeks. (I had no morning sickness) Im so freaking miserable now at 33 weeks. I want this child out NOW.

Re: Does anyone else

My first 5 1/2 months were great. I felt wonderful, no problems, everything was going smoothly...

Now at almost 27 weeks I feel like I'm falling apart.

I think it's normal to feel this way though. Nobody every told us this would be easy!

We're all in this together ladies!
