1st Trimester

aside from m/s, what do you hate about being pregnant?

we all share what we love about being pregnant, but what do you hate? I haven't had any m/s so i can't relate there, so other than that, what do wish you didn't have???

 

for me, it's the pooping situation. (sorry if tmi) I'm not really constipated in that i have to go, and i go everday... but good lord it's not easy. i run to the bathroom bc i feel like i HAVE to go and then it's a struggle. this makes it especially hard trying to be discrete at work... hah

i've increased fiber and drink a lot of water... but alas no help.

  • I'm having problems with hormones and being an emotional wreck the last few days. Little things seem to make me cry inconsolably lately. I'm hoping that levels off a little soon...

  • I dont have morning sickness, I have all day sickness. Plus, my sense of smell is so strong every smell makes me puke. Horrible.

  • Nothing.

    After 3 losses I will go through anything gratefully if it means having a healthy baby at the end.

    this is me too! ugh i was ready to rip into someone - anyone- this morning over nothing. and I cry over nonsense. but then again i've always been a crier.

  • I don't have m/s....

    The only thing I can say that I "hate" about being pg is not being able to eat sushi. I would kill for some sushi. I grew up on sushi, and I can honestly say that there hasn't been a month in my life that I haven't had sushi. I want it now.

  • The horrible, horrible hip pain that I know is coming. I was in agony from week 20 on last time. I am SO investing in a snoogle this time around.

    Worth. Every. Penny.

    ditto.

    And I'm lucky that I haven't really had any m/s. Yet.

  • All day nausea and the gas.  I stink.  Embarrassed
  • Until the past few weeks... I would've said nothing.  Now - the constant pain.  If it's not RLP, it's my back.  I just can't win.
  • nothing at all, i love being pregnant

  • I really struggle with feeling more emotional and distracted. Normally, I thrive on being efficient, having lists and getting things checked off. It feels like I've just lost control of my usual way of doing things, and I have no patience or energy to deal with stuff (and it all feels like 'stuff'). This sense of chaos and lack of control is probably good practice for when the baby actually arrives, but it just feels so odd for me.

  • Teeth sensitivity - If I am outside walking the cold wind will send me into excrutiating pain. It sucks big time, but at least its only the two front ones - I just try to shovel the ice cream past those puppies. Wink

    Cannot agree with you more! I totally don't feel like myself! What happened to the organized, motivated me? Fatigue has taken over!

    This exactly.  Since I got BFP, I can't seem to focus at all.  I know it's just excitement/nerves, but it's still weird.  And part of me just wants to sit and daydream all day long (totally uncharacteristic).

    Oh, and the weird abdominal cramps.  I could do without those.  They're kind of freaking me out.

  • I'm really enjoying being pregnant.  I must admit that I miss wine, however.  And I could do without the worrying. 
  • The worry.  Especially in the first trimester.  I can't wait until my first u/s on Monday.  I just want to see a hb.

  • I know I'm young and I'm probablly the only one who feels like this but I dread getting big and its already starting to happen. Im only 10 weeks!  I get that its supposed to happen and no worries I'm going to take care of my self and get big for the baby but I just feel unattractive already.

  • the worst thing for me is not knowing what i will feel like everyday. some days are great, some days are horrible. some days i want to eat, some i dont.

    i guess just knowing that for the next 9 months, at least, i wont feel "normal".

    Just trying to help...but there are a lot of crazie people out there...and yes on this board.  Please take out your email addy and your last name in your information.  I clicked on your pictures and was shocked how much personal information you have out there.  It really isn't safe.  We have had many people with stalkers from these sites.  it is crazy!!!

  • The bloat is getting rediculous. I am so uncomfortable in my clothes. I really don't want to break out the maternity clothes for another few weeks. We'll see though.

    This.

  • heather_09....   We are so on the same page.

     

  • Being so damn tired! I just want to be able to function, go out to dinner with friends watch a movie and I cant! Thats what I hate most so far anyway!
  • Besides the headaches, I am loving every minute of it.
  • ugh, the pooping thing is irritating. I'm usually a very regular person, but no more. now I just have uncomfortable, embarrassing gas for hours and hours before I can finally go!

    and the paranoia - I just want to see a healthy u/s, and soon...but I have to be patient and wait over two weeks longer :(

    ?

    ME TOO!!!!! Its awful!?

  • I'm very grateful to be doing so well, but the heartburn is killing me.  It's come back with a vengence once the MS subsided.  If only I could stomach the taste of tums right now.
  • Susceptibility to getting sick with cold/flu and inability to take anything for it... =(

     

    ::cough:: ::sniffle::

  • Mine have been hurting, as well.  I wonder if we are getting enough calcium?  I hate milk, but I eat yogurt & a ton of cheese, but I wonder if that's enough!
  • Sorry, I meant to reply to another ladies symptom, I'm new to this site!  My teeth have been hurting
  • The overwhelming fatigue and the crazy sense of smell. I could really do without both of those.
