Just need to vent

kls621

My friend is pregnant and due is September. I am so happy for her, she had difficulties and ended up going the IVF route. We helped each other through all the ins and outs of the different fertility cycles (DH and I got our DS by IUI).

Here is my vent:

 I had morning sickness from 8 weeks till 7.5 months. I had GD, I had to be on a special diet, I was so friggin tired all the time. My pregnancy was not a terrible one, but she has NO symptoms. No MS, no GD, nothing and she has gained about 2 pounds (she was overweight to begin with, so the OB is not concerned with the low weight gain, baby seems to be doing great). Trust me I am not wishing that she had any of my symptoms, but really, why did I have to have them. I love my DS and can't wait to be pregnant with #2, but just wish I could have a "no symptom" pregnancy.

IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!!!    Thanks ladies for letting me act like a child and getting this off my chest.

I bet #2 will be a different pregnancy!  Just remember how lucky you are to have a healthy DS!!  You've been through all the uncertaintly (and a hell of a lot more)...so be happy with the outcome!!

hahaha, our daughter was IVF too and I pretty much had a symptom free pregnancy.  No morning sickness but I did have slight GD.

All of those symptoms reminded you that everything is just fine.  I remember panicking when my MS subsided.  It's not childish to feel that way at all.
