I don't know why, but I get upset....
when I hear other Pregnant ladies complain about their baby bumps, and change in their bodies. I think we should all be happy, and savor every moment. Thoughts?

Re: I don't know why, but I get upset....
I didnt understand it. . .
until my milk started leaking
and I lost my mind. Its no fun having no control over your own body - even if it IS a means to a wonderful end. So now, I definitely understand more even though I don't mind my bump!

Re: I don't know why, but I get upset....
The truth of the matter is we are human.
Pregnancy is NOT all wine and roses.
Yes, there is a wonderful result at the end- and when we are holding our babies I am sure we will forget every ache, pain, and discomfort we suffered these 9 months.
But for now, it isn't easy to wake up every day with some new pain, discomfort, etc.
It's not fun to not fit in your sexy clothes, to not fit in your shoes, to have ankles the size of an 80 year old woman's, leaky boobs, problems breathing, have to pee every 5 seconds.
It's not fun to have to worry about everything you eat, drink, breath in.
Having a baby is wonderful- the means to get there is NOT.

Yeah I know, but some people take it too far. I understand it could be the hormone thingy, however being pregnant is a blessing. There are so many people that wish they can be like us, and be able to bear children. I welcome the extra baby weight, baby bump, because of the end result.

I am so sorry, but I totally disagree. I welcome it all. I don't even think about sexy clothes anymore. I figure, hey..its only 9 months...after this, I have a reason to lose the weight, and get an entire new "sexy" wardrobe. The other problems, I can understand, such as the breathing problems, but I just deal with it without complaining, because I thank God every day for allowing me to carry this baby, hopefully for 2 more months.

That's great that YOU feel that way, but bear in mind, everyone is different.
Different strokes and all that.
I am personally glad to have others here who can relate to me and my feelings.
Having a baby was never a huge priority for us- it was more of a 'if it happens, it happens' thing with us.
So maybe that is the differnece.
It happened, we are happy, but I still am human and HATE being pregnant.
I just can't wait for this to be over, to have my baby HERE in my life, not in my belly, and to move on with our lives.

Re: I don't know why, but I get upset....
I know what your saying... there is this couple at my church who couldnt have kids for 17 years...thankfully they finally had a baby boy and then twins.
But imagine not being able to have kids for 17 years? Some people get frustrated from TTC for 17 weeks!! I know that lady didnt care about pain, weight gain, clothes, etc.
Honestly, I odnt care about the bigger belly, the less than attractive clothes or the black line running through my stomach BUTTTT I did complain/cry when I had my carpal tunnel for two days straight because it really hurt like a b!atch!!

give me a break.
I've had a wonderful pregnancy (i have 1 more month), I rarely complain because I am fortunate to have not had much PG issues. But do not act all high a mighty that you can truly say you NEVER complain or feel uncomfortable. I love that I'm pregnant and I'm thankful everyday that my baby has been doing well, but not everyone can say that. Right now I'm dealing with extreme itchiness, I cry a lot at night because it is unbarabale at times. YES I complain, my poor DH doesn't know what to do to help me, but that IN NO WAY means that I am not grateful that I have had a great PG thus far and that my baby is well.
Bite your tongue because you still have 2 months left

Re: I don't know why, but I get upset....
Everyone is different. I personally feel uncomfortable with this belly, I am 36 weeks and only gained 13 pounds bc of severe morning sickness (still to this day vomitting) and I don't really have any weight to lose. I feel so clumsy, huge and unbalanced. Of course I'm so happy my baby will be here soon, but I can not wait to have my belly back to normal.
some people adore being pregnant, I'm not one of them  Plus everyones pregnancy is different, some are good and some are not so good.
oh I see you have 2 more months left, good luck I hope you continue feeling as good as you do now !

Yes, people are very different. I only posted this topic, because my co-worker who is also preg. complains all the time. It is a bother to me to hear her nagging about how "huge" she has gotten. I hardly ever come onto this board, and thought everyone else was just like me. I guess I was wrong. By the way, is that you on your avatar? cause you look great if it is!

Although I am super thrilled to be pregnant and having a child enter our lives...I am not always feeling well and that's part of the deal. I sometimes need to vent it out just to know I'm not losing my mind. I don't think it makes me any less excited or grateful we were able to conceive. AND trust me, I had a LOT of problems leading up to this. My heart goes out to the people that are struggling and may never get the chance to conceive. I feel I've earned my right to sometimes need to vent things out. I'm only Human and it helps to get it all out. Especially when I am not sure if what I am experiencing in normal or not and I don't want to call my doctor and sound like a looney.

I hear you.... I know everyone handles things different and comes into it with a different perspective. My sister is having issues getting pregnant, so I make sure to not complain too much around her.
That's why I love this site- it has so many different opinions.
And no, that is NOT me in the avatar!  I wish! I'm carrying small, but doubt I look like that in my bikini!
That's actually an ad for non alcholic beer in Europe I thnk!

WTH? I never said I did not feel uncomfortable. Of course, I feel uncomfortable, because of my heavy breathing and stuffy nose due to the preg. However, what I am implying is that I do not complain to others. My statement was in regards to those complaining about looking "fat"...not the health issues.

I don't know why either... That is great that YOU feel that way but I cant imagine why it bothers you that not everyone LOVES pregnancy...
I had 3 MCs just prior to this pregnancy so nobody wanted this more than me and for the most part I do just suck it up and deal with it. But when you're 37wks and have to hold on to something just to walk bc of the pressure, puking after I eat just about anything now and even getting up to puke in the middle of the night, sleeping in 30 minute intervals all while trying to work a high stress job and chase after a 2.5yr old, sometimes I AM going to feel like complaining...

Re: I don't know why, but I get upset....
I am blessed to be having a second child. I've dealt with IF and I've gotten pregnant on my own. I've had difficult pregnancies dealing with borderline IUGR the first time and SUA this time (luckily there haven't been negative effects from either as far as we know).
That being said, you don't know each individual's health, family, career, emotional, and financial situations. So many things play a factor. With this pregnancy, despite knowing full well how blessed we are, I've had such bad sciatica that has basically disabled me to the point that I can't walk unassisted some days, yet I still take care of my toddler and have worked up until nearly 39 weeks. Do I complain about my pain and sob to my DH some nights? yes! It helps me deal. In no way should it be taken as ungrateful.
I've learned that once you become a parent, there are things you think you will never do or let your child do...things change when they are here. Every family is different and handles things differently.
Judge not, lest you be judged.

Re: I don't know why, but I get upset....
Carrying TWO has made this pregnancy VERY DIFFERENT!
My 1st, a joke, I loved being pg and felt great, didnt complain...enjoyed it all. Wore heels even, ha!
Now- NO I dont.
I dont even complain so much about how I look and I tell you its def bothering me a lot....but I had a pregnancy to compare it to so its hard NOT to be like, ugh Im SO big!
well, at 30wks, I dont have a belly button, cant fit into many of maternity clothes due to this belly, have SERVERE HB, cant sleep at nite, hips burt, back hurts and the va jay hurts.
I dont want to be that person that complains but I also cant help it.
yes, I look at it everday and say, WOW- im growing not one but TWO in there (and feeling it all) and thankful that I have gone this far with no complications!
Its hard though..it really is. I also wasnt super thin before this but worked hard to get to a pre preggo weight.
I have a shoot at end of month and tried on an outfit and almost cried. I know IM PG...and with twins but its hard to see yourself, not yourself.

Again, my statement was not implying the health issues, only implying those that complain, because they gained extra weight.
Sorry if I took it the wrong way... can you tell I had a bad night last night?
no that's fine. I think everyone is misunderstanding. Of course we as preg. women are going to have health issues or discomfort for the 9 months, but my co-worker sho is prefectly healthy throughout her preg. is only complaining about her baby bump. I thought I had to vent a little about that. She has a very cute baby bump, and she is fussing about how she hates it, because she looks fat.

Re: I don't know why, but I get upset....
I'm one of thiose people who complain about the weight gain...and I should be able to complain if I want to.
For someone who has struggled with her weight pretty much her entire life, watching the numbers go up & having little control over that is hard.
YES, I know its for an amazing reason, but again I'm NOT comfortable in my body when I start gaining weight.
Great for you for embracing all that comes with being pregnant, it doesn't mean I'm LESS grateful because I don't like what my body is morphing into as the days go by.
I hate that I can't walk more than 15 mins without feeling like I just RAN for 15 mins. I hate that the simplest of things - like shaving my bikini area is a mission that requires too much effort. I hate that I get up 3-4 times a night to go to the bathroom. I can go on and on with the complaints.
What I do love though is knowing that in less than 18 weeks I will be a mommy to a little boy that will take my breath away the moment I meet him. So in the end who really cares about the above...its just what it is for now - COMPLAINTS.

I am blessed to be having a second child. I've dealt with IF and I've gotten pregnant on my own. I've had difficult pregnancies dealing with borderline IUGR the first time and SUA this time (luckily there haven't been negative effects from either as far as we know).
That being said, you don't know each individual's health, family, career, emotional, and financial situations. So many things play a factor. With this pregnancy, despite knowing full well how blessed we are, I've had such bad sciatica that has basically disabled me to the point that I can't walk unassisted some days, yet I still take care of my toddler and have worked up until nearly 39 weeks. Do I complain about my pain and sob to my DH some nights? yes! It helps me deal. In no way should it be taken as ungrateful.

In no way, shape or form am I judging people. My topic was meant for those complaining about looking fat or having a big baby bump, not the health issues or discomfort!
