If there was 1 thing you could change about being PG what would it be?

caramelcupcake · January 2011

I have thought about this for awhile and I think it would be the sleeping the sleeping on the LEFT SIDE...would be just about number 1 for me.

What about you?

Heartburn. I had problems with this before pregnancy and its only become much, much worse.

EmandChris08 · January 2011

I wish I could sleep on my stomach. I haven't had a good night's sleep in months and LO isn't even here yet.

I've already changed the number one thing... my sucky ob office! Another thing would be the constant heartburn I experience! I guess my baby is going to be one hairy lil man!

Ditto this, but sleeping on my sides without my hips/arms going numb. I haven't slept more than 3 hours in a row since 17 weeks.

My feet have just started swelling, and I am very much not a fan. Most everything else I can live with, but I am not comfy sitting down for very long in any one chair or position, nor standing for very long (since it makes the swelling worse.) It may have to do with the 28lbs I have gained though...

the need to eat every 2 hours gets annoying for me, i have forgotten what normal hunger feels like

My feet do this sometimes, but just my feet... not my hands. I'm up 34 pounds, so I guess that's why. Big Smile

I would change what I was drinking--not so much sweet stuff and the constipation that has followed it. Sorry for the TMI.

No more gestational diabetes! Is it sad that I'm looking forward to March equally because I'll have an outside baby and the GD will go away?

verona_1999 · January 2011

I would change all the aches and pains. I just generally hurt alot more being pregnant...oh that and stretch marks! Sad I mean I had some before getting pregnant from when I was a teenager but I'm getting more and they make me feel so gross!

The not sleeping through the night, for various reasons (peeing, discomfort, insomnia, heartburn).

I think it is a cruel joke that we have such disrupted sleeps BEFORE the baby, knowing it will be a long time after the baby's born before we ever sleep a solid night again.

rebeckalyn81 · January 2011

I just want to be able to do normal things again- put on my socks and shoes, get up off the couch easily, climb the stairs without getting out of breath, etc.

Oh, and the constant peeing. I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was wrong.

It's not sad, I'm looking forward to the same thing! No more daily insulin injections, and no more sugar checks 4 times a day!

chicsub · January 2011

No more GD for sure! I'm lucky that my pregnancies are otherwise very comfortable and I sleep just fine until the very end (knock on wood that it's the same this time).

charley7 · January 2011

I thought maybe it would have been my constant vomiting the first 21 weeks but I think the CONSTANT need to pee and now the new aches/pains in my back and sides takes the cake now. I was in SO much pain last night trying to "hang" until midnight. I actually have an April 4th due date now so I'm behind you ladies and SO jealous....

KK1974 · January 2011

No GD too! Other than that, it's not that bad,,,

FemmeNat01 · January 2011

The fact that you can get pre-e. I wish I could find a way to treat it or cure it.

anna2029 · January 2011

Not feeling like sh!t every single day!

rae_dylanzmom · January 2011

Hmmm.... great question.

Heartburn? I have a supply of calcium/magnesium liquid, tums, and papaya... and I've gotta admit they've helped a LOT and I wish I'd just started treating the heartburn sooner.

Sleeping? I don't mind the side thing too much, and I'm sorta diggin' the pillows; but it would be nice to not get up to pee 4 times a night.

Peeing? I don't mind using the bathroom, but it would be nice if LO didn't play on my bladder so much.

GD? Reading the pp's makes me thankful that I haven't had to deal with this one.

No.... I've got it.... hemorrhoids. I'd sleep on my head and live on a solid diet of antacids to nix that one.

The back pain...ohhhhh the back pain Sad

MrsAltman · January 2011

How cool, ur due the day after me

I've had a pretty chill pregnancy. What pregnancy symptoms I do get (minus the 1st tri nausea) go away not long after showing up ... It's actually kinda weird & cool at the same time lol

I do miss sleeping on my stomach though I haven't been not sleeping on it 4 very long. (I started after thanksgiving when i noticed i was rolling onto my stomach in the middle of the night). Slide sleeping - even w/my huge body pillow - is uncomfortable
