when you got pregnant - you never thought you'd?

chounTX · April 2009

I never thought I would consider taking time off from school. I was (am) a driven student but the thought of moving away from family, having DH quit his job, and being on call at all hours of the night - just didn't seem as important as being able to stay at home while this LO is so young.

I never thought I'd be so miserable. I always wanted to be one of those "cute, happy-all-the-time" pregnant women. I was up until about two weeks ago...now I'm just miserable...and feel guilty that I am. Sad

This is going to sound really stupid but I never thought I could be safer on the road. Living in Miami (that was voted worst city in terms of driving Confused ), I'm used to driving fast and being a total as$hat. But after getting pregnant, I discovered its ok to drive slowly on the right lane. I still get to where I need to be and on time.

...I never thought this would all feel so surreal: I'm so excited, but I seriously can't believe that in just a few weeks, I will be holding a baby who's completely my/DH's responsibility...and wondering when I will finally be able to wrap my head around this!

ETA: I totally agree about being 'happy pg lady': I was succeeding until about a week ago...I don't know what I did to my back, but seeing patients is torture and by the end of the day, I'm trying to hold it together and keep the tears from welling up...I'm not comfortable standing, sitting, nothing. It's crushing b/c I did so well for so long that I'm starting to feel a little defeated now that I'm in pain...?

I never thought I would be so excited to stay home. I love my job and the satisfaction I get from it, but I get upset even now thinking about leaving the babe....

lovebook · April 2009

I would start talking in terms of "we" but, within the past 2 weeks, I have totally started to say things like "we're not hungry right now" or "we have to pee again", etc. It's completely dorky and I hate it but it seems to happen before I can stop it!

...'let' myself get stretch marks. I always thought I would be able to avoid them. Now I count on laser surgery after our last baby is born, whenever that may be.

...complain.

As someone who struggled with IF I would just seethe when I saw a pregnant woman complain. The complaints hurt to the core. Then through a miracle I got pregnant myself and any little complaint I have throws me into amazing guilt.

nolebride · April 2009

I never thought I'd not work out while pg. I had some problems at the beginning so I got out of the habit and now I'm too tired or too busy to go.

Bride7-7-07 · April 2009

I never thought I'd be one of those women that barely gain weight and am only baby. I always imagined that I would gain all over and be huge. Well, I was wrong.

jillchrispy · April 2009

would pretty much stop craving cigarettes. It is a great feeling, and gives me motivation to NEVER start up again once DS is here.?

laurenshay · April 2009

I never thought I would unapologetically fart in front of my coworkers and DH! Damn, sometimes it just hurts and I have no control over it.

***When I say coworkers I mean the three girls in my particular office-one of which is just as pregnant as me and totally does it to!****

cmd78 · April 2009

I never thought I'd want this pregnancy to be over as much as I do. With DS everything was new and exciting. This time around I feel like I'm done with pregnancy, I'm still really excited about the baby but the pregnancy "magic" has kind of worn off.

HDxNxJ · April 2009

I never thought morning sickness would leave me in shambles for the ENTIRE first trimester and part of the second.

I never thought I would be sharing this amazing journey with my best friend.

rjbh · April 2009

Be so excited to wear bummy comfy clothes. I thought I would try to look cute in maternity clothes up until the end and now I am stealing clothes from DH just to be comfortable.

ruthymusney · April 2009

I never thought I would be so miserable and ready to have my babe. I feel so depressed all the time. I was never comfortable in my own skin and now it's even worse. I just want to have my baby in my arms because I know it will be so worth it in the end.

njkitty · April 2009

i never thought i'd let myself gain so much weight! seriously, i think i've picked up 40-50 lbs and i wasn't happy with my weight before i got pregnant.

Congrats! Good for you.

Phelia325 · April 2009

be such a cow. i thought i'd be a cute little pregnant lady - all belly. well i'm all belly, butt, and boobs (and a little back fat and thighs to round off my appearance)

Hi725 · April 2009

I never thought I'd gain as much weight as I have. I'm not all that upet about it, I know I'm growing a person and all that, but it just surprised me.

adge76 · April 2009

I never thought I'd have problems sleeping. I (thought) I had prepared myself for most aspects of pregnancy...I was sorely wrong!

This is me. I thought I would be that huge pregnant lady at the gym. I started working out and now I just look for excuses not to do it. I keep my walking in though.

FinallyThatGirl · April 2009

I never thought I wouldnt miss alcohol. Although I still have a glass here or there I dont miss it that much.....Good thing since I will hopefully breastfeeding for the next year!

I am also surprised Im still working out and running.

NewlywedNVA · April 2009

Never thought I'd quit exercising. Intended to do it, then didn't, then got sore too fast from elastin or whatever, then had a friend who continued exercising hardcore miscarry at 16 wks...made the decision to just not...but to take walks with the dog still. I used to work out for like 2-3 hours a day, AND play soccer, like 5 games a week. I miss it! I keep having dreams of happily returning to the soccer field, seemingly not pg, only to take a ball in the stomach and find myself pg, and REALLY worried about DS. It's enough to keep me far from the fields, AND the gym. UGH.
