does any one else not enjoy...
Being pregnant. I'm beyond blessed to be pregnant for a second time and have a happy healthy 2 yr old and a relatively easy pregnancy this time around. But does anyone else not enjoy this process? I hate having no control over my body, my skin feels like its going to split like a hot dog when its over cooked and exploding, I can't breathe when I lay down and Im not even that large. Actually I'm 28.5 weeks and when I talked to my dd led the other day about he new baby she didn't even realize I was pregnant let alone due in 78 days. I feel so selfish saying that I don't enjoy this because once this baby is here i totally forget about all the discomforts and whatnot and of course its worth it

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
I dont enjoy it at all!
My nails are still thin
My hair is not lustrous
My skin is not glowing
My feet and ankles are 3x their normal size
My rings dont fit
My stomach is stretched to the MAX
My food feels like its not digesting
I cant breathe lying on my back anymore
Im running out of clothes but at almost 37 weeks, Im not buying another stitch of maternity clothing.
And the one I feel the worst about... Im over feeling like there is an alien in there trying to get out. I dont LOVE all the movement. In fact, in these late stages, Im really annoyed by it. It was fine when I was 25 weeks and it was a tap here and there but now hes too big. It makes me feel so bad when I read about it being most womens favorite part of pregnancy.
ETA: AND I CANT WAIT TO DRINK A MARGARITA!!!!! 
Ahhh...thanks for letting me vent

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
I enjoyed it in the beginning but now with the swelling, seeing stars, painful urinary spasms that feels like I have a UTI every time I walk, my vagina bone feels like it got punched, can't roll over in bed, insane charlie horses....been a tough pregnancy this time around and will be my last. I def cannot go through this again. I enjoy feeling him move but he is pretty brutal these days with my insides.
ETA: And forgot mention that I look like a WHALE!! A beached one....can't wait to get this weight off me!

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
I was very sick in the beginning, but dealt with it b/c I was still so excited about being pregnant. Now, 31 weeks, I'm done and not enjoying it at all anymore. I'm hating this GD diagnosis and I don't sleep anymore. I have zero energy.

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
I am kind of torn. In the beginning I didn't bc I was so nervous something would go wrong. Now I love feeling him kick and move and that is awesome but of course and am starting to fear his exit  
On the one hand I am amazed my body can do this and it makes me strong and powerful but on the other it is scary and uncomfortable and I have had a fairly easy pregnancy ::knock wood::

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
I am on pregnancy #3 and I am totally 100% with you. I enjoyed it the first time (easy pg, no M/S), and even the 2nd time (there was 5 years between them and I did not gain a lot with #2), This time (only 11 mos) after #2, I hate it. Everything hurts, I am swollen, I have nasty mood swings, my skin was terrible for the first 5 months, and I just want this baby out and my body back.
It's sooo hot and that makes me crankier. I only gained 25lbs so far and my legs are killing me, so is my back and all DH does is complain about the laundry not being done, mind you I have to go down 2 flights of stairs to get to the laundry room and have a 7yo and 18 month old to care for all day.
Um yea, to say the least, I do not enjoy this process and since this is my last one and finally a little girl, I can't wait to see her little face and have all these pregnancies behind me.
ITA: I do not feel bad saying I don't enjoy being pregnant. It's a matter of opinion and personal taste. Some women love it and some don't. I was never one to love gaining weight or getting stretch marks or having to deal with the loose skin afterward. Call me vain but I like being my normal 5"4" 115lb self and it doesn't make my small frame feel like it's falling apart.

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
Ugh, I hate it and feel like no one understands how I could hate being pregnant. I feel completely blessed and am grateful that I am able to be pregnant, but at 36 weeks, I've reached my breaking point.
I've had a pretty rough time since day 1. I'm so sick of being huge and uncomfortable and getting sick!

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
I am definitely not a happy camper. Swollen, hot, terrible heartburn, exhausted, and this baby kicks HARD all day long. I am so ready for October 20th to be here!

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
Firstly, I am definitely blessed beyond belief to be pregnant again. I look at my daughter and am amazed at what our bodies are able to carry and nurture. Having said that, I am a completely miserable pregnant lady. I hate every part of it. I have had horrible morning sickness EVERY SINGLE DAY this time around. I'm not looking forward to watching my ankles disappear again and having every single action become the most arduous task ever! I really don't like being pregnant--you are certainly not alone!

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
I didn't love it last time and I'm not loving it this time either. I admit I am so jealous of the women who have such "easy" pregnancies as I am not one of them. Eye on the prize, eye on the prize, that is my anthem right now

Re: does any one else not enjoy...
Someone asked me the other day "list all the high points". I could name 2 so far. Finding out I was preg was more frightening then not bc I had had 2 mc in the prior 3 months. So highlight 1 was finding out it is twins. Highlight 2 feeling the first few kicks. Other then that. I really really dislike being pregnant. I love my babies and need them to cook more.
