I have come to the conclusion that for the majority of the time, I just don't enjoy being pregnant. I am loving the little milestones and I'm so excited and ready to have my sweet one here, but this process until then just frustrates me! I KNOW I shouldn't complain because many would love to be pregnant, but do any of you feel this way at times too? I suppose some women love pregnancy, and others don't. Please pray for my joy!

You are not alone! My last pregnancy was so easy and even though I heard every one can be different, I was delusional and thought I'd sail through this time, too.

I just haven't felt like myself. I was nauseous all day, had no energy, couldn't make it to the gym, still have trouble sleeping, and I'm having this whole identity crisis over becoming someone's mom. I'm sarcastic and sometimes vulgar and I like to go out and have a good time...I keep thinking I was stupid to think I can be anyone's role model yet. 

My mood has improved over the last few days of not being nauseous but I still feel like I'm not nearly as excited about this as everyone else is for me. And I do feel guilty because I know I'm lucky to have gotten pregnant basically just by thinking about it! Haha. I'm hoping to feel better once kicks start up. That was fun, last time. I hope you find your joy, soon. Until then, we are here to complain to!

This is totally me!! Makes me feel guilty to complain, but I am continuously miserable!

I do not enjoy being pregnant.  Yes, there are some aspects that are neat (feeling kicks later on, people willing to help and give you a seat when you are as large as a house), but there is so much i don't like.  I think there are honestly a lot of people who do not enjoy being pregnant, so don't feel bad.

However, it doesn't change the fact that you are excited to have a baby.
