I don't believe women!

winter-shock · February 2012

I do not believe women who say they love being pregnant! Yes there are things that are enjoyable. And OBVIOUSLY the end result is amazing. But I hate being pregnant. I am the worst pregnant person ever. I have SPD and there is nothing enjoyable about it!

Anyone else practically counting down the minutes until baby is here?

Tsugarlove99 · February 2012

Omg I'm with you. My vagina aches, I have RLP and I just want to meet my baby. I don't know how some women have babies back to back I couldn't do it.

KTHart03 · February 2012

I am with you. I have a cousin who had a baby in November and she looks at me like I'm crazy that I find it uncomfortable. Her husband even commented on it. I didn't take it personally or anything but she really enjoyed her pregnancy and I HATE IT.

benz2010 · February 2012

Haha I agree I thought I hated it with one baby but being pregnant with 2 is a nightmare! I feel helpless and just like an incubator since I can't do anything else just sit and hope they stay put!

I feel guilty saying it, but I am with you! My back aches CONSTANTLY now. I have non stop indigestion. My weight gain has been over the top. I am ready for the next 10 weeks to fly by so that I can be back to normal.

elviebird · February 2012

I have a friend who is 2 weeks ahead of me and she has had a really easy pregnancy... no aches, pains, nausea, etc. She finds it incredible that my back hurts and that I have RLP and that I went through 12 weeks of nausea and 15 weeks of straight coughing. Some women are just lucky, I guess!

PotomacSt · February 2012

I never expected how much my body would cease to be 'mine', and how sensitive my belly would be. Before I was pregnant, my husband and I were playfully physical all the time- he'd throw me over his shoulder and carry me around, we'd tickle each other mercilessly, and when he was in bed I'd run in from the other room and belly-flop onto the bed next to him to make him laugh. I miss that so much

Now I feel like a china doll who can't do anything. I'm so over it.

If you would have asked me after my first pregnancy I would have said I loved being pregnant. It was pretty easy and other than a bad case of PUPPS at the end everything went pretty quickly. HOWEVER, this time I'm totally with you! Everything is sore and this is taking forever. I don't know if it's having twins or I was just naive/younger the first go around but I'm ready for the last trimester to fly by!

jlsweets · February 2012

Right there with ya..as excited as I am to be pregnant and have this baby I am sooo done with being pregnant..it hasn't been an easy one for me so I cant wait to hopefully fly through these next 10 weeks and get back to feeling like myself! Everytime I go to visit my sister she stares at my belly and goes, "Ugh I'm so jealous I miss being pregnant so much" She had the easiest pregnancy, never had a single problem or pain and enjoyed every minute, even cried when they induced her at 41 weeks because she wanted to hold on to being pregnant a couple more weeks ha..

roxygulrjax · February 2012

I feel like I've been pregnant forever!

winter-shock · February 2012

Glad to see I am not the only one who is not thrilled by every aspect of pregnancy. I had a lot harder time saying it when I was pregnant with my first. I felt bad not liking it because I know a lot of women would give anything to be pregnant. But this time I feel like I can't hold it in, I am in constant pain!

bornmommy · February 2012

I'm going to go ahead and be "that" woman. I definitely love being pregnant. All the aches, sleeplessness, awkward movement...it all goes into it for me and when it all comes down to it, I really do love it. Maybe I'm focusing more on the fact that I have my baby in there who I am responsible for and really excited about. Thinking like that really makes me love it and forget the rest. Embarrassed

(Just want to say, I am not knocking any of you who are going crazy this pregnancy! I have definitely had it relatively easy in terms of nausea and the like. Legs cramps and general fatigue are things that took hold of me.)

THIS EXACTLY. Except I don't have sleeplessness. I sleep like a baby Big Smile General backaches and LO nuzzled up under my ribs are the worst I've experienced. Being pregnant has been the best part of my life so far. I feel like it's Christmas every morning, and I'm not being sarcastic.

omg this is me, I say this all the time! besides the regular aches and pains, not sleeping well, rlp, slipping and falling on ice twice, numberous stomach viruses, a viterious detachment in my eye, dizziness, shortness of breath, racing heart, fatigue, and several other embarassing and personal symptoms, i feel great!A friend just commented that i am good at many things, but obviously pregnancy isn't one of them! lol. Seriously though i feel like I suck at this! I so badly want to feel good and enjoy my pregnancy but it is really hard since I have been sick someway or another nearly the whole time. I cant wait to meet our little healthy baby!

tbmadeamistake · February 2012

I'm with you! I hate it, and I don't even have SPD. I told my midwife that at my last appointment and she gave me props for being honest with myself. I will love my child more than anything, but oh my lord do I want her fully cooked and out already!!!

I highly recommend this book, I read it and had a lot of laughs lol

You're not alone, I like being pregnant too. But I have had a very easy pregnancy, with only a few days of morning sickness and some mild discomforts up to this point. I know I am lucky, and have many friends who were miserable.

FroggyFarts · February 2012

I have a very low maintenance pregnancy -- meaning very few of the symptoms that are common in pregnancy. But, I hate it. I mean, I enjoy things about it but there are plenty more that I don't enjoy.

I really miss a lot about having no baby in my torso, like the ability to lean forward without losing my breath or having rib pain. I miss climbing my stairs without feeling winded, being able to get low to grab things without being winded or unable to breathe. I miss being able to work out like I used to, heartburn freedom, comfortable sex, and I really won't miss the random aches and pains!

SO tells me frequently that he believes I was made for housing babies (I know!) and I just frown. I'm short with a short torso so I'm constantly uncomfortable when housing babies -- they live in my organs and ribs especially.

This. I've been VERY lucky with my pregnancy (I only threw up 3 times, really my biggest complaints are heartburn and back pain). However, I do call every woman who says "it goes so fast" a big liar. It seems like it's taking FOREVER ...

Yep... all of this. This was my first pregnancy to make it this far and I adored every minute of it. One of the reasons I'm depressed that I had to deliver at only 29 weeks is that I just plain miss being pregnant! (of course, that's the least of my concerns, but I do miss it.)

Yup.

stephcash · February 2012

I'm really excited to be pregnant. I didn't really think it was ever going to happen. I wanted to love it. BUT I hate it. Back pain, it hurts when I walk, I itch. I'm so done, I want her to keep cooking till she's done though.

lnh2008 · February 2012

I'm counting down! After my first pregnancy, I loved being pregnant so much I would have been a surrogate for someone. Not now. URGH! I'm so over being pregnant. This is our last baby and May 22nd can't get here soon enough.
