I'm so tired of being pregnant...

I'm sorry to be negative. But I have to get this out and I can't complain to my poor husband anymore.

I'm so tired of this pregnancy. Actually, to be honest, I hate this pregnancy. Not this baby, of course, this pregnancy. It's been so much harder than my first and I'm not sure how much more I can take. I'm 29 weeks and still nauseous, migraines, tailbone pain, leg cramps, vomiting... And new today, hemorrhoids. I have zero energy, can't sleep, and I have a 2 year old to chase after. I feel like a terrible mom, I'm so impatient and exhausted. I'm done, I'm out of patience, I'm tired of feeling like crap, and I want this baby to come soon.

    Totally normal. Sorry to hear it's been so rough this time around. I think just about everyone here, for their own reasons, is ready to be done.

    In the same boat mama! I have this horrid pain in my pelvic bone area (yes.. My bones actually hurt!) and if I move its worse! I also have a 2 year old to chase and homework and classes to attend. I'm tired of the aches and pains for sure. I don't think it makes us terrible, it makes us human :)

    This has definitely been my hardest pregnancy. I don't know if it's the time of year or what but I don't remember feeling this way with my other two. I'm exhausted all the time and have very little patience for anyone.

    But we're almost done! These next weeks will fly by. At least that's what I keep telling myself ;)

    I am too but I sure don't want him coming early. I am scared to death that I'll go pre term esp with all the pains I've been having. But... No more after this one I'm done

    I'm so done too! Yesterday I was having such a hard time getting my breath that I actually somewhat considered going to ER for O2. On a holiday.

    I'm with you! The slight differences in my first pregnancy in this one have turned the experience into a much less pleasant one than the first time around. My first baby was born in February so the winter  (In Geogia) made the pregnancy so comfortable for me. Not to mention I didn't have a hyper 3 year old boy to also run around after. It's not even full summer yet but the heat/humidity already have me barely able to be outside without getting completely drained of energy. And I love the summer, it's the best time to go run and be outside. But now I can't do much but look out my window at the nice weather. And the exhaustion is out of this world this time around. I feel so bad for my husband and little boy because I find myself being short tempered with them but I can't seem to stop it :( I'm ready to just feel like myself again.

    Thank you all so much. Even though I know I'm not alone in this, it's so comforting to hear it from other mamas! Ten weeks will fly by, right? :)

    Yep, I'm here. I can't even think about the next 13 weeks, I'm just trying to take it day by day.

    10 weeks to go. Even though this is my first at home he has (I treat them as my own) a 4 year old and a 10 year old. I'm exhausted, over being pregnant, and just ready to move forward with my little man in my arms. I feel slightly rude every single time I say it out loud. I hate being pregnant.

    I too am over it! This is my first pregnancy but it's been a lot to handle. A lot of discomfort, crazy acid reflux, migraines, nausea, all of it. I don't get any sleep, and also live four hours away by plane from my husband :(( hoping and praying these next 10 weeks fly by! Hopefully with all the baby shower prepping and nesting they do!

    I'm also over it. It's my first pregnancy and I feel guilty all the time because I just don't seem to be one of those "I love being pregnant" girls. I had really easy 1st and 2nd trimesters but now it's swollen feet, hot, heartburn, headaches, watching wveryone do things I can't do, no clothes fitting...the list goes on. I feel really fortunate that we will have a little man soon but at the moment 10 weeks feels like an eternity!

    This is my second pregnancy, and definitely a lot more difficult than my first.  It's just constant aches and pains and a whole new level of exhaustion.  I've had plenty of guilty days when all I wanted to do was lay on the couch.  10 weeks to go, but sometimes that feels like an eternity!  We can do it though right?  Right???  Man I hope so!

    Glad I'm not the only one. This is my first. My belly and boobs are huge! As my dr says "I'm carrying really far forward." It's so painful. I had no idea everyday life during pregnancy was so painful. My ribs are on fire A LOT. And when they aren't it feels like razors cutting through my skin. My bra elastic even hurts. And then there's the back pain and wonderful BH contractions that just started. It sucks. But we're in the home stretch!

    I'm feeling the exact same way. We have a huge family vacation planned at the end of July and I'm seriously thinking about skipping. I'm so uncomfortable now, I can't imagine how I'm going to feel in two months. I'm short tempered, tired, annoyed, in pain, heart burn/indigestion, can't breath, tired and chasing a 23month old all day. And he decided that he doesn't want to take a nap anymore. I'm so tired, I just want to feel normal again...but then there is newborn troubles to overcome and csection to heal from.

    Lol your post sounds like me. I have a two year old as well, finishing grad school and a very demanding full time job. In addition I've felt horrible for about 29.5 weeks now :) I stay thankful that baby and I are healthy and try to stay positive. I also remind myself on the tough days that these last 10 weeks will fly right by and then I'll be on leave:)

    So beyond over being pregnant. This is my 4th & already discussed prior to her,that it is our last. I am text book as far as every pain,sleeplessness,etc. Along with my other health conditions. Epilepsy,leak in my heart value(makes my heart beat faster than usual so I get tired fast).... Oh and school will be out next week for my other kids. I feel like I am 50 years old trying to carry a baby lol. Oh well. She's worth it. And we were blessed with our first girl on our last baby.

    Every time I want to complain about being pregnant and how hard it is, I think about how hard it was to get pregnant and how many other loving, deserving woman that can't get pregnant would die to exchange places with us. Totally agree with what you're saying but we're pretty damn lucky too :)

    I'm with you! My first pregnancy wasn't a walk in the park but this one continues to be downright awful. Then I had such a bad delivery and recovery with my first born that I am gearing up for a repeat of that too. Plus things popped up on the last ultrasound that we will need to deal with when baby arrives. Worth it? Absolutely (and thank goodness since we spent tons of tears, money and time to get to this place with fertility treatments) but it erases any doubt in my mind that this will be my last pregnancy. My body and mind can't go through this again nor could I put my family through it again.

    Ohhhh yay!! This post couldn't have come at a better time! I spent about 2 hours last night crying to my Husband about how crappy I'm feeling. It's not that I'm not super excited to be a FTM its just I'm not sure how much longer I can take of all the non-joyous pregnancy related issues along with my other health problems, I too have a leaky heart valve & am on a million medications & weekly hospital appointments now right up to 34 weeks pregnant & im sure there's more appointments to come, I'm literally not allowed to do anything, walking makes me breathless, my clothes don't fit, I'm tired, grumpy, ohh yes there's heammoroids, nausea, back ache, I'm snappy, irrational & I'm desperate to feel my normal self again without all the hormones making me into some kind of crazy person! (I'm sure my DH & family would agree)!!!
    The next 11 weeks can't come quick enough, I want to hold my baby & be done with this now!
    Congrats everyone for getting this far, it really won't be long but it's so nice to know I'm not alone in feeling this way!! xxxxx
