im sooooo OVER being pregnant

FTArmyM · February 2015

I cant breathe. I cant bend over. Im fat. Im tired. Im anxious. Im uncomfortable. I cant sleep. Im in pain. My back hurts. My chest feels like its busting open. Im ready to meet my baby. My feet and hands are swollen. I need a drink. I want REAL sushi, not california rolls. I want a cigarette. I dont feel sexy. I have chest acne. I have face acne. My nipples are huge and dark. My breasts have stretch marks.

Anyone else have any complaints?

I think you covered the majority

hang in there! I'm too getting to the rough patch but I keep trying to remind myself you have more ways to go! And once we see our beautiful babies we will forget all about these symptoms! But I do sympathize.. My back, belly, and feet ache! Especially after my 12 hour shifts at work.

louloutte87 · February 2015

Of course I feel the same but then I think about my friends baby who was born at 33w and had a very long hospital stay.

I'd rather keep cooking and be uncomfortable to be honest!

purplepigmy · February 2015

A cigarette!!! It's like you were reading my mind. I don't plan on starting to smoke after the baby gets here, but a few glasses of wine and a smoke sound great after a long day of work.

mrscimino914 · February 2015

I'm so with you, you deff covered all that. I'm so happy I quit smoking but one once in a while, sounds amazing. And maybe this is tmi but just when I thought I got every symptom in the book, I discovered I have a hemmoroid. Am I the only one or are we to embarrassed to say?!? I am beyond ready for this baby to come out.

BabyShirah · February 2015

@mrscimino914 I have one too!! First one EVER in my 35 yrs!! I didn't know what it was and even thought bt goin to the hospital! Until I googled it and asked friends!! LOL!

I want a grinder and can't shave my legs or ladyscape my lady parts!

toddabunny · February 2015

Totally agree to everything I wanna be me again

MissRissx3 · February 2015

I've somehow gotten an eczema patch on my leg. And it's pissing me off. And now I've been getting bh contractions. Woot!

jakobaby · February 2015

The nipples. Lord I want my normal, pretty nipples back.
Also-anyone else have a burning tearing sensation under the ribcage? It's like my abs are tearing as this belly gets bigger!

BrooksManor · February 2015

I have a spot under my left rib that drives me freaking insane. Burns, so weird.

louloutte87 · February 2015

Not just the nipples... Veiny boobs! Mine are big and blue and ewww!

xxyourstrulyxo · February 2015

Oh gosh the first post was too relatable! lol. I'm tired of the back aches. The constant back aches. Back aches and back pains that now haunt me daily. I'm tired of watching everything I eat and being terrified of getting sick. Today wasn't a bad day at all compared to the past few I've had but lately I huff and puff and sound like an old obese lady struggling for air as I make each and every move. It's annoying and aggravating. I'm seriously annoyed in listening to myself. The huffs and heavy breathing, I sound like such a pansy!! I think to myself "really??" Even showers are now exhausting, not relaxing. They're seriously WORK. Work!! A simple shower is work. How pathetic.

I miss spending the day running about as I please without worrying about the crippling back pain grinding all to a halt. I can't even go to the movies with DH because I already know sitting upright in the chair for 2 hours will kill my back.

I'm tired of guiltily myself over every little thing I eat. A glass of wine sounds great, but dang does some Rumchata sound even better!!

I think aside from the physical aches and bothers, what drives me up the wall even further is the mental torture I put myself through constantly worrying about the baby. Add to my already worrysome thought process and throw my type 1 diabetes to the mix and boy does that throw me over the edge with guilt over every single imperfect blood sugar reading I get. The stress and worry is never ending.

And like others have said, I don't mind the sacrifice for now. I know the end result with a beautiful baby girl will be worth every worry, ache and pain. It's just so exhausting and damn does it feel good to vent to others who can relate!

Oh and who mentioned the hemorrhoids? Count me there. I have one today that is by far the biggest I've ever had of my life!!! It is so sore every small movement I make aggravates it. I'm actually sitting on a heating pad as I type this...

Oh yes pregnancy sure is beautiful.
Or so they say.
Hmm.
Who are they...
I'd like to have a word with them.

I want a drink.. not even a big drinker but a nice little glass of champagne would do nicely right now! And I want to stop feeling like I'm busting to pee just for the tiniest bit to come out feels like a waste of moving.. AND I WANT TO SEE MY BABY AND CUDDLE THEM AND KISS THEM!!

jmorneau09 · February 2015

I want to lay on my stomach so bad....I'm literally in tears right now because more than anything I just want to take a glorious nap on my tummy.
Oh and a glass....who's kidding a bottle of wine
Yep wine and tummy nap, that's what I want. I'm ugly crying now........this is lame.

This. I just want to sleep on my tummy.

And ugly crying...all the freaking time. DH didn't pick up everything on my shopping list today...had a bit of a meltdown ending in a long ugly cry sesh about every pregnancy problem on the face of the earth...he had no idea what he was getting into by forgetting those potatoes...
Hormones go away!!

gamergirl83 · February 2015

This may be tmi but I sick of being sore down there with out the fun part if ya know what I mean!!! And a bottle of wine sounds fantastic!!!!

Omg I forgot the glorious tummy naps!! That's the most cosiest position for me and I can't do it waaahhh

marissaprince · February 2015

I'm with you 100%! I also am tired of family members telling what I can and can't do! What I can and can't eat and telling me to stop working. Yup really need that wine and cigarette lol

SassFrass · February 2015

All of the above here as well. However, I am thankfuk I'm STILL pregnant. My friend had her son at 25 weeks. Hes now a month old, and while he is growing well, and exceeding everyone's expectations, he is having a hard time. Hes intubated and has wires all over. But he's making so much progress. Such a long journey that I just don't think I could ever be strong enough to travel.

shinderlea · February 2015

Amen. Right there with you ladies. Hello third trimester... Hello super uncomfortable next 2 months. I want a beer.

Brannykaye · February 2015

I just want a whole bottle of wine, my wine wrack has been calling my name for months. I miss my nights of taking crazy hot bubble baths with my bottle of wine! Now I always worry if it's too hot and it's not even as enjoyable.
I also miss sleeping on my back and belly and just sleeping in general without my back or hips hurting.
Oh and I miss real sushi, I'm tired of these cucumber rolls and such.
And I miss my normal clothes.
And I miss my flat stomach.
And my small boobs that didn't feel like they are going to burst out of my bra.

I am so blessed for this baby and I am so darn excited! But boy am I ready for him to get here soon!!

Oh and I am a FTM so I am absolutely terrified of how he's getting out.
I haven't been able to take any classes yet because of my work schedule ;(

madisongg92 · February 2015

The other night as I laid down in bed with my SO he decided to complain about his legs that ache and back ache and so on until he listed ever part that hurt. When he was done I just said welcome to my world rolled over and went to sleep, he didn't like that to much but oh well.

FTArmyM · February 2015

Oh I forgot one...im sooooo tired of peeing on myself....smh

marym94 · February 2015

So blessed by this baby but the return of nausea is no joke. Over a week now and it's only 10 AM and my son and husband are playing while I am laying in a towel bc I don't have the energy to get dressed and I feel like I'm going to be sick... Comes and goes in waves all day... 8 weeks to go. Want to enjoy it but it is not that easy!!!

christmasstree · February 2015

Exactly to all of that. I know it'll all be worth it when she's finally here but pregnancy feels like the longest time ever. A cigarette and wine sounds good. The most thing I miss is being able to smoke. The backaches can go away and the leg cramps. Hang in there ladies

kat0217 · February 2015

Sorry, but nope. I have plenty of complaints, sure, but I wouldn't trade this for anything. Wednesday night I had to go to L&D because of preterm labor. I'd keep the hemorrhoids, sacroiliitis (which makes it impossible for me to walk without screaming at times), nausea, acid reflux, stretched skin, inability to breathe, etc. for another year if that's what it took to keep my baby safe. I would rather her go all the way to 42 weeks than come a day early if it's what she needs.

Can I sympathize with those symptoms? Absolutely. Plus now I'm on medication to stop the contractions that makes me taste rotten eggs 24/7. But am I over being pregnant? Nope. I'm holding on to every precious second of it.

SunshinE870 · February 2015

Thank god I'm not the only one, so beyond blessed to be pregnant and want her in there as long as she needs but god it feels like it will never end and I'll never be normal again! I want a glass of wine and a smoke and to dye my hair! And most of all to cuddle my sweet girl and finally have her here....will May ever come? The cold weather and snow certainly doesn't help either

christmasstree · March 2015

Oh your due in May too?? I feel like it's taking forever. I just want her here already.

Vivian811 · March 2015

I'm tired of the winter, my icy driveway, my husband asking where I'm going every time I open the front door, putting on shoes and socks making me out of breath, having to strategically plan every time I roll over in bed, nothing fitting, the acne, not being able to shave my girly bits or legs for that matter, and I know it's tmi but constantly being on top

lestes1121 · March 2015

All I can say is : "have kids they said, itta be fun they said!!!!"

Marielsi20 · March 2015

Oh god everyone is describing me!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one, I want to take a tummy nap but I can't

9 more weeks to go I'm literally falling asleep as I type this but I feel so uncomfortable that I can't find a good position to sleep in, specially with my son kicking my ribs every chance he gets. Like he owns my body lol

Ash1103 · March 2015

I completely agree with everyone's complaints! I know baby boy has to stay in there to be as healthy as possible but I'm soooo ready for him to come. I'm hungry most of the time but after I eat I feel like I could puke. Eating smaller meals helps but sometimes I forget and just eat to be full
