Re: Ok, what's your least favorite part of pregnancy right now?
I'm having that issue this time around too.
Plus, I can't get a good night's sleep no matter what I do.
Yeah mine hurts pretty often also. But I would have to say I don't likw the indigestion and feeling fat! I feel like nothing looks cute on me!
Contractions! Contractions suck monkey balls right now. This is entirely too early for this mess. I'm fine is this baby comes at 36-37 weeks but NOT 26 weeks. Not cool. I've had three strong ones this past half hour and the OB said to come in if they become persistent and stronger. Ugh.
I've got a baby shoving down at my cervix which makes my inner thighs, lower back and vag hurt like a mutha.
Ditto... I feel like somebody treats my vag like a punching bag without me realizing it. It feels so bruised and sore ALL THE TIME.
Also, everything in my hip/pelvic region hurts. I hate it. I hate not being able to do too much because it hurts too bad. Which causes me to gain more weight, so I feel fat and ugly all the time. It's just a big ugly snowball effect.
Exactly this! Emma just turned 1 so what gives with the rlp where I feel like I'm being cut?
THIS!! I didn't have these issues with LO#1 and it has been pretty difficult to be dealing w/it now but I have my eye on the prize and hope time flies.
Feeling like I need to pee every 15 freaking minutes! It was my first pregnancy sympton and the only one that's hung on for the entire ride so far. I've been checked for UTI's etc. and they all come back negative. I guess I just have a wimpy bladder. I'll probably be in "depends" before I get to the 3rd trimester...
I miss sex. Don't get me wrong, we still go at it, but it's sooo not the same and usually doesn't end well for me. I also hate feeling like I'm an 80 year old woman with all these aches and pains everywhere. Eye on the prize though!
Sex is no longer fun
It just hurts bc he bumps my cervix. Back pain, heartburn is annoying.
No vag pain here...
For whoever is freaked out about vag pain, I'm in the mid-20s (for weeks) and am not having that symptom yet. So it's different for different people, I think. Doesn't mean I won't have it later, though (unfortunately)!
For me, the toughest two things are trouble sleeping (better since I started turning the fan on at night ... was getting too hot while I slept!) and DH being afraid to have sex with me!
Back pain
Having to pee all the time
Not really feeling movement yet (I really want to feel some good movement!)
My tummy looks loose even though its starting to fill back out
I have a lingering cold and I can't take my prescription cough syrup that normally knocks me out so I can sleep. I also can't down a warm shot of liquor anymore to help soothe my throat. I just hope the humidifier I am getting tomorrow helps out at night.
DD2: February 2014
My least favorite part so far are random people wanting to touch my stomach and other random people putting in their 2 cents about what I should and should not be doing. I know it comes with being pregnant, but it's awfully annoying!
As far a the physical aspect: feeling like I still have to pee after I literally just peed and waking up once or twice a night to do the same.
I have been so sick. I've improved quite a bit from my awful 1st tri days, but I still occasionally puke for no reason.
And I'm exhausted. Work is all I can handle, then I just want to go to sleep for 12 hours, then it's back to work. Ugh.
I haven't had any pains yet, but I am starting to toss and turn in my sleep.
Will I ever have a good night's sleep again?
I would love to be able to roll over in bed without it being a massive production of getting my belly over to the other side and the re-adjusting my pillow coccoon.
I can't stand for more than 15 mins at a time without a serious burning feeling in one spot in my belly.
I can't sit for any length of time without my tailbone feeling like I just went ice skating and fell a million times.
and to repeat the pp...I wish I didn't feel 80 years old all the time. People keep telling me how great I look and how pregnancy really suits me, and I want to tell them all thank you very much but please f-off because I feel miserable in a hundred different ways!
And the worst part is reconciling all of the moans and groans listed above with the fact that something wonderful is happening in my body and I should be savoring every moment.
Yeah, I never had it with DS. Well at least if I did, it wasn't bad enough to remember. I am MUCH more active now than I was when pg with DS though, between both working out more and chasing around a toddler all day, so that may be it. But it hurts. A lot. All the time.
Right now it is skin issues. Acne, dandruff, dry skin patches, (I think it is eczema, which I have not had since I was little.) I feel like I am finally getting my face acne under control with using an acne cleanser- but now my chest is starting to break out! Seriously...
I was touching my arm yesterday and felt something that felt like a big scab on the back near my armpit, come to find out with help from my husband that it is just another patch of really dry skin!
I drink a ton of water, eat pretty good and moisturize like crazy but I am going to have to make an appointment with a dermatologist!
Me too!!! But don't forget the sciatic nerve pain!!!
This is me too!
1. The awful back pain! I knew I was going to have back pain because I have a spinal condition, but I really didn't expect it to get this bad so fast! I feel like someone is stabbing me when I walk.
2. This ovarian cyst that pretty much came out of nowhere. That thing HURTS and there isn't much I can do about it.
Thank goodness the nausea is fading, otherwise I would feel like crying all day long! Finding out yesterday that we're having a little boy made everything fall right back into perspective though, so that helps! (:
2. Eating/being hungry all the time.
3. Missing out on things, I'm jealous that my bf gets to have his first legal drink before I do, and I'm three months older. (we found out about my pregnancy like a week before my 21st birthday)
4. breaking out. Seriously, I hardly ever broke out as a teenager (just like one pimple in the same spot a few days before my period would begin) and now I look horrible, ugh I hate it!
