When does it become fun?

chimirossi · May 2015

After the first trimester, right? I'm trying to find some enjoyment in being pregnant, but I feel worse everyday. Today was my first day throwing up and not just feeling like I was going to throw up 24/7. Are any of you enjoying this, despite the MS? I just can't.

yl1m32015 · May 2015

I'm sorry your feeling this way. I wish I could give more advice, but truthfully, after going through a mc I cherish every symptom. I do enjoy being pregnant and knowing my baby is growing and safe. Hopefully you can find some relief soon.

I'm feeling the same way

BUT, this too shall pass! Soon we'll be holding our little bundle of joy and everything will be worth it.

Girl. I am also miserable. This growing a baby is a lot of work. I'm either nauseous or tired or disgusted by food.

chiboo9 · May 2015

I'm sorry. I hope you find relief soon. I was fortunate enough to get spared with MS on my last pregnancy. But a lot of women say it gets so much better once they're in 2nd tri. Before you know it, you'll start feeling the baby kick around, which is basically the most amazing feeling ever.

Hang in there, mamas!

It gets better. Just think of how lucky you are that you get to conceive and carry a baby. After my miscarriages, I appreciate every moment being pregnant.

Picture that adorable baby that will make everything work it!

arichlife · May 2015

Unfortunately, Some people never enjoy pregnancy. I happen to love it, but I think that results from having easy pregnancies and also from struggling with IF so it means that much more to me. Others feel lucky to be able to carry a child and love the baby but never enjoy the pregnancy aspect because it is so hard on their bodies. The experience is different for everyone. I hope your MS goes away soon and you are able to really enjoy the pregnancy! It gets really good when you feel them kick for the first time!

Try taking the prenatal at night! It helped me the last two days

babytuck15 · May 2015

I wake up every morning and ask my DH if I am glowing yet. So far the answer has been a resounding "no". Right now it's not very fun but I am still in awe at what our bodies are capable of!

chimirossi · May 2015

Thanks for the words of encouragement, ladies!

swalker3581 · May 2015

No, I'm not enjoying this at all...I'm grateful for being pregnant, but this is my first and wow, this sucks. Hang in there!

This is on point, if I throw up (I have once) I was happy because I knew it's healthy.... But I totally felt like crap. Im so thankful I've not been sick I'm almost 10 weeks and I'll just get nauseated if I don't eat, it's been a breeze so far after I learnt how to deal w the sickness. I love being pregnant. I love every symptom (not so much the exhaustion and mood swings) but i know it's a part of it

so bring it on is what I say! As far as sickness find what triggers it and what helps calm it... After you figure it out I promise you'll love pregnancy so much more. I spent about 2 weeks playing around and lying major attention to figure my body and sickness out!

redfallon · May 2015

I don't particularly enjoy being pregnant, but I'll say that when you start to feel the baby move a lot and see your belly moving around, that's pretty cool
:-bd

manro · May 2015

I'm with you girl! As awful as this sounds, I actually told my husband the other day that if we lost this baby I'm not 100% sure I'd want to try again. Sick and tired of being sick and tired lol

reware · May 2015

^Oh that's so sad... hang in there girls.

I completely sympathise as I'm miserable myself but finding a lot of encouragement in this forum - especially the moms who have been through this before, often multiple times.

As for me i know this is only the beginning - my two siblings are my best friends and it's so important for me to try to give that gift to this baby in the future. So one foot in front of the other and lets all try to think of this in terms of hours and days, not weeks and months (or years, yikes!)

313Meg · May 2015

Usually 2nd tri is better. And then there will be a whole new set of aches and pains. Pregnancy is beautiful and hard.

Praying41 · May 2015

I'm pretty miserable and it tends to make me forget that there's a good reason for this misery. It stinks but I know it'll soon pass and will be worth it in the end. All good things come with a price.

janma529 · May 2015

I'm soooooo with you. I've been getting pretty dizzy lately (in addition to being nauseated and super constipated) and at one point today, I just put my head down and thought, 'You paid lots of dollars to feel this way. Are you nuts?!'

But...there's a little light at the end of the tunnel! :-)

redfallon · May 2015

Don't beat yourself up. Complaining about being pregnant does not mean that you aren't grateful to be that way. You have every right to not enjoy the yucky parts.

Tlynn83 · May 2015

I don't like being pregnant! I'm always tired, hungry and hormonal. Headaches, boob pain, nausea, gas, diarrhea, constipation, weight gain and the list goes on. I secretly despise and envy the women that love it. BUT when that baby kicks and flips and has tiny little hiccups it is the greatest feeling!! I can't promise you'll feel better but I promise as your pregnancy progresses, the joy and the fun stuff will outweigh the rest!!

I am with you. So tired of not feeling well. I've thrown up several times today..once in public and pray for some relief. My throat is sore from all the vomiting

eb413 · May 2015

I threw up for the first time yesterday and then again and again. I'll be honest so far this isn't the magical, beautiful time I imagined. Hoping it gets better in a few more weeks. Sounds weird, but I talk to my baby when I'm feeling especially miserable and it cheers me up.

vppittman · May 2015

My mood swings are insane and I swear my DH wants to run away screaming. I'm reading this book "Pregnancy Sucks: What to do when your miracle makes you miserable." My sister gave it to me. It's actually informative and kind of relieving! I'd recommend it.

Melissadmag · May 2015

I think it will be more fun when I have told everyone, coworkers, family, facebook that we're expecting because then I can stop hiding it and pretending to be thin. I've already gained 5 pounds so I'm glad that in about a month I can stop sucking in and just letting it all hang out and be like yeah, I pee a lot and eat a lot, and am tired but refuse coffee and am probably the smelliest person ever right now but I'm pregnant so just overlook all that and ask me fun pregnancy questions now that you all know lol. It will just be a relief to be able to explain my weird behavior from the last couple of months because especially at work I know I am not the same person and people can tell but for some strange reason I'm refusing coffee and alcohol lol. So far people haven't put it together, but in the last few days I have started getting a serious belly (mostly from bloating) and I really don't want people thinking that not only am I cranky but I've really let myself go lately lol.

12815AEEA · May 2015

@Melissadmag Lolol, I feel the same way about just wanting everyone to know...it's the worst keeping it a secret!

Jazmine928 · May 2015

I have also let myself go lately..it's all I can do in the morning to get dressed and out the door..a shower if I'm lucky! Blow drying my hair and makeup is something of the past!

chayamosko · May 2015

I totally hear u! I haven't actually eaten in 2 weeks... My doctor said it doesn't matter as long as I'm getting fluids. Even so I have had to get it fluids at the ER for dehydration. I am nauseous every minute of the day and throw up on average three times a day. I wish I could appreciate this miracle better, but I am in so much misery I can barely function to get out of bed. All I can say is all of you with little symptoms or easily treated symptoms (I have been on three different anti-nausea medicines and every home remedy Google has to offer) are very lucky! Count your blessings! And good luck to everyone else who feel to miserable to move

enigmaanjel · May 2015

I love the symptoms because it reminds me it is real. I have had several losses and m/s and sore boibs make me feel better. But o the other hand...omg i am ready to eat something without it coming up ten mins later lol things get better. And when we have the babies we wiill miss being pg. I did every time. Took me months to stop missing it so much.

4puddleducks · May 2015

You're certainly not alone. While I love the fact that I am going to be a momma again, I am not "loving" how nauseous and tired I constantly feel this time around. But I keep reminding myself that this is just a phase and it will not be like this forever, even though right now it feels like forever. Soon enough, the nausea and exhaustion will give way to a cute baby bump, feeling kicks/hiccups, and more excitement for the little one growing inside. I have to choose to remember the excitement that is on its way rather than dwell on the circumstances I find myself in right now.

RaisingJulian · May 2015

I feel pretty beat too. I don't like to complain just because I know many women who would love to feel the way I'm feeling if they've been having trouble conceiving or carrying full term. So think it will all be sooo worth it in the end!
