Pregnancy is Beautiful?

A little Sunday night rant.

Ok I know it is all worth it. A cute healthy baby in the end is what we all want and cant wait for but this pregnancy has been anything BUT beautiful. They say hormones are the reason you become angry with the people around you but I say it is because of the constant nausea, constipation and being so tired!!

Today I went to the pharmacy to pick up some ginger gum to ease the nausea as much as possible (I've tried everything from Sea Bands to Zofran) and got sick in the parking lot in front of everyone!! Then got home and got sick while I was in the shower then in the toilet. I'm so frustrated and miserable and all I want to be is happy and I can't be right now. Is anyone else having these thoughts??!

  • I know what you mean. There are times when, let's face it, pregnancy isn't a walk in the park. There are also times when you are a parent and you are exhausted and cranky and if one more person tells you to "enjoy every minute- they grow up so fast" you want to bite their head off. I try to remember how blessed we are to have children and to be able to get pregnant- we probably all know someone who would love that chance, but can't. It makes the tough times more bearable. Hang in there- it will get better!!!

    LOL pregnancy + child birthing is not beautiful. I'll go as far as to say.... breastfeeding isn't beautiful either! I have no regrets and it was completely worth it - BUT.... let's not pretend this isn't like walking over hot coals and barefoot through a swamp so we can win the mother of all prizes at the end....

  • I completely understand - I think it's totally normal to have thoughts and feelings like that - I know I have through the morning sickness and tough nights. It's so true
    When someone says "enjoy it" or "my pregnancy was so easy" I want to smack them a but I just keep telling myself that it's such a blessing - I know too many people (including my sister) who either can't or are having so much trouble having babies that I just feel awful feeling anything but blessed to have morning sickness . Hang in there buddy we will get through this
  • Yeah there is nothing beautiful about me throwing up all over the bathroom, wall included, because I couldn't make it to the toilet. The fact that my husband still looks at me is a miracle.

  • Before I got pregnant this time, I told myself I would enjoy this because there's a big chance this is my last one. I complained so much during the last 2, I just wanted to enjoy this one. Uhm...not so much. Last week i was so miserable & uncomfortable I couldnt believe that I did this again ON PURPOSE. Its like what was i thinking! But of course I know it will be all worth it in the end. However, for now I have earned the right to complain & probably will continue to do so LOL. Watch out DH!

  • I'm thankful for all of it...the exhaustion , the diarrhea, the vomit...it means that a my body is working properly for once, producing all the right hormones. Is it frustration and embarrassing sometimes? Heck yes. But, after 6 months of IF treatment and all the sucky emotions that came with it, I'm just so happy that this is finally happening.

  • I certainly don't feel beautiful at the moment.  Last week I was super bloated, today I'm sporting burst blood vessels around my eyes from a nasty throw-up session.

    I think it is a 'beautiful' thing, but not your typical definition of beauty (like gorgeous cover model beauty), but in a sappy circle of life kinda way.
