I'm sorry to those this will offend, but I hate being pregnant right now. I spent most of the winter getting over a chronic tension headache, back/neck problem issue that left me in near constant pain. Finally in the last two months or so I have been feeling like myself, until this week when extreme morning sickness cause my whole neck to tighten from throwing up and the headaches are back only worse because of the zofran to keep the nausea at bay. All I want to do right now is take a muscle relaxant and a hot bath. Sorry to bitch, maybe I should go to bed.
No worries! You don't have to like being pregnant. It doesn't make you a bad mom. I didn't enjoy pregnancy so much the first time around and am not looking forward to what I know it's coming this time either. I just know I want the tiny person at the end of it. Take care of yourself! Sorry you're feeling so crappy.

Don't feel bad for ranting at all. Despite how much a lot of us have wanted to get pregnant and have a baby, being pregnant is a WHOLE different story. Especially if you have a lot of things like morning sickness, back pain, etc. I take a ton of baths while pregnant. Just remember that if you sweat it's too hot. I hope you feel better soon!
I am not loving pregnancy either. It feels as though my body has been hijacked by aliens. I want to be able to do all of the CRAZY things I used to do. For example, drink coffee and go running with the dogs.
While im grateful to be pregnant, im also miserable being pregnant. I heard about morning sickness, okay irritating, but you are sick in the morning and cool the rest of the time. LIES! ALL LIES! Nobody mentioned the possibility of all day every day nausea. Probably for the best, because this really sucks! Im just praying that it goes away after the first trimester, or im going to be a bear the rest of this 9 months.
So no, you arent required to be happy about it all the time, and you certainly are not alone!

No offense taken here. I've hated being pregnant the last couple of weeks between the MS and the heartburn. Just 2 more weeks and I'm out if the first trimester, FX that it gets better then. Good luck getting through this to you.
@newguardwife Rant away lady! I was spoiled with an easy pregnancy with my DS and now Baby Nugget is a whole other ballgame! I don't like this round of being pregnant...hope we all start feeling better soon!
haha @NatureLovers, i've been calling bean sprout "the parasite" as well.
@newguardwife...you know, i don't even have bad nausea this time around (i did with DS...never threw up, but i felt like i was about to perpetually for 10 weeks solid). i have nausea on and off all day and it's worse in the afternoon/evening, but still not as bad as it was with DS. mostly i'm exhausted and moody and i have constipation of "OMG I JUST WANNA POOP" proportions. different set of symptoms and i'm still miserable and not a general fan of being pregnant. it's ok to feel that way. probably 3 in 4 women i know see pregnancy as a means to an end (i.e., a baby). it's ok to not be a fan of certain stages of childhood too. none of that makes you a bad mom, it just makes you human.

I seriously thought I'd love being pregnant.. the idea of finally having that baby growing in me.. I mean it's all I've ever wanted, to b a mom.. it's my dream.. but I have never hated anything more, so far, than being pregnant.. I totally get u..
I totally get it. I am longing for 2nd tri when hopefully my all day nausea will subside. I loved 2nd tri last time and I'm hoping it will be similar this time. That's when my symptoms went away, My bump showed up, I started feeling baby moving around. It was great. I wish I could just snap my fingers and have the next 2 months be gone!
Thanks for the support guys. Today is a better day. Looking forward to next weekend when my hubby gets home. Sometimes the stress of having to dual parent hits me all at once and apparently that was yesterday.
Lol. I totally referred to DD as my parasite. My friends were horrified. Technically, the term is rather correct! This one has definitely earned the title.
OP, hope it gets better! For all of us!

Why can't you go running with the dogs? I have heard that you can continue your normal activities, if you did it regularly pre-baby then it should be fine while your pregnant, as long as you are still comfortable doing so. Did your doc tell you not to run?
Morning sickness is the WORST! I am freaking miserable, with the first it lasted for months too.. I am constantly saying that I am so glad this is the last pregnancy and I never have to do this again!
