Sciatic pain coming back. Feet in the ribs. Not being comfortable at night again. 

Do I have to only pick one because its pretty miserable. 

jldubb0626

Internal checks in the 3rd tri. The glucose testing. Getting my rho-gam shots.

Not being able to roll over in bed because my belly is to big.

Constipation!!!  Last time it was horrible & it was only 10 weeks... I can only imagine how bad it will be if everything continues to go well  

countingthestars

Internal checks in 3rd tri, feeling huge, and not being able to get comfortable at night.

Heartburn. That started yesterday and it will get worse.I had heartburn pretty  much from conception to birth last time. <sigh>

Last time I got a hormone induced tumor on my back that bleed everywhere and was SUPER gross. It happens in less than 1%, but if you've had it before your changes of having it again are increased. That and losing the weight.

Dang! My appt is tomorrow and I've so anxious about the u/s I completely forgot I'll get a pap smear. :

Umm, nothing?  I think once you've been through several miscarriages, you'll take everything and anything that comes with pregnancy, good and bad!!

Hemorrhoids.

I don't think any one of us here will regret the bad. We're just saying, somethings are bad, even if you are happy that they mean you're pregnant.

I mean, a tumor that gushes blood down your back is nothing to throw a party over

avcs302008

No I know, but honestly, I'm looking forward to every ache and pain (ovbiously not life threatening), but really I'll be grateful for it all....

That being said I've never been in 2nd or 3rd tri, so I don't really know what that feels like!!

Right because no one who has ever had a loss can ever have a bad pregnancy. Oh wait, yes we can.

I truly hope this is your sticky baby and you have a great pregnancy but you are allowed to be uncomfortable and acknowledge it. Making a human is hard work.

I  hate those!

I'm not looking forward to the cold! It was 23 degrees outside this morning. My feet are popsicles. And this baby is already sucking all my body heat. I'm already cold all the time.

too funny! Being pregnant was the first time in my entire life that I WASN'T cold all the time. Usually I need a sweatered just to sit in an air conditioned room in the summer. I called the baby my personal space heater

Heartburn and the swelling! 3rd tri last time i really looked like 1 of the Klumps. It was awful!

I was he same way. I actually told my mother that I felt I was prepared for menopause because I had hot flashes constantly.

PPD. It was so bad for me last time that I am already freaking out with this pregnancy.

lbchef

Right now I'm not looking forward to my first OBGYN appointment on the 28th.  I know it is necessary but I also know that they'll be taking my blood and I hate my blood being taking.

I had hyperemesis too - I'm seriously waking up every day thankful it hasn't

definitly something to talk to your OB about beforehand.

The dread that comes everytime I go in for a u/s or to hear the heartbeat (last time the fear lasted til about 24 weeks).

No, I won't complain, there is nothing I want more than the aches and pains...nothing...

Well then I hope you have a really easy pregnancy. Even after a loss I had a really hard pregnancy. Bleeding at 8 weeks, sciatic pain starting at 16 weeks, pre-term labor starting at 24 weeks, PPD that started at 28 weeks, bedrest starting at about 29 weeks. And while I was thankful for the person that was growing inside of me and there was nothing I wanted more than to get her to term and deliver a healthy baby it's HARD. Anyone who says that it's all roses and skipping through the meadow is lying. It's ok to acknowledge that what you are doing is the absolute hardest and most dangerous thing we do to our bodies. Complaining about aches and pains and fears and heartache doesn't make us ungrateful. It wouldn't make YOU ungrateful.

Like I said, I truly hope this is your take home baby but I won't side eye you if you talk about some of the pain you are going through.

I bought a doppler last time (Will again this time) because I was so paranoid. It did help put my mind at ease

I agree - I don't know why it's mutually exclusive. If I won a billion dollars I'd still b*tch about the 400 million in taxes I'd have to pay.. while skipping to the bank,as well as the relatives coming out of the wood work.

Just because you complain does not mean you don't appreciate what you have, saying it does is a pretty condescending statement. IMO

Flame free confession? Labor and delivery was my favorite part. So much easier and quicker than the 8 months leading up to it. Recovery too. Easy peasy. I would have lots of kids if I only had to do that part. It's the growing a human part that's hard.

Me too. I actually had a pretty easy pregnancy too. It's the raising the human part that keeps me from having a dozen kids!

I have to agree. My BFF had a loss and then she had a really, really tough pregnancy which resulted in a premature baby and a NICU stay. It's ok to complain a little bit even though you are grateful for your baby. I'm guessing you will complain about the exhaustion when you are up every three hours or when your baby is sick or when the terrible twos start and then bring you to your knees because you are so frustrated. It's ok to complain a little bit. I'm sorry for your losses and I hope this is your sticky baby!
