Please don't complain about being pregnant today

mooeta

Just don't.  We are so lucky that today we are still pregnant.  There are fewer of us than there were yesterday.  Be grateful for the gift of life you are carrying and appreciate every moment you have with your baby.  It may be for a day, week, month or it may be for the rest of your life just appreciate it.

There couldn't be more of an accurate statement than this! I agree wholeheartedly!

I've been saying this from the beginning to myself.  I try not to complain because I'm carrying a miracle!

Amen to that.

I think about it every day I wake up and feel my little boy fluttering away... he's my joy. My mom lost her first baby... and I am/was terrified I would lose him... but I'm thankful for every day I had of m/s, every moment of heartburn, and every little flutter I can actually consider to be him moving.

After one loss, definitely glad to be hanging on to this one!

I know this all to well myself. I m/c my first one last August and it used to kill me after that hearing other friends complaing when they got farther along. I used to say to them "be thankful you are still pregnant cause I would trade spots with you in a second."  That really made them put things into perspective I think.

so true.

Agreed.  In addition to what I read on here today, I have a close friend who just last week had to deliver and say goodbye to her little boy at just over 21 weeks. 

I am feeling so very blessed.

Please laddies do not take your pregnancy for granted, I so badly wish I was still pregnant today.

Thanks for posting this.

From my own experience, I can tell you how incredibly painful it was to listen to my SIL complain about how much "pregnancy sucks" just a couple of weeks after I'd miscarried. At the time, I just remained quiet (we hadn't announced our pregnancy to anyone), but in hindsight I wish I had shaken her and said "Don't you realize how incredibly blessed you are?"
