Am I the only one?

I hate being pregnant.

I love LOVE love my babies and the end result is so worth it but I wish I could just wake up in 20 weeks and be done with it.

If it's possible to be thankful to be pregnant but to completely despise it at the same time, that's exactly where I'm at (at only 19 weeks ) I'm still getting sick at least once a day, I've gained about a million pounds already and I have no energy whatsoever. I'm also noticing a distinct lack of sympathy from my husband this time around. It was my idea to try for this baby and there is a vibe of like..."well you wanted this to happen."

That's all. Just having a bad morning I guess. Wah.

Same. I don't have terrible pregnancies at all, just nausea really... but for me, pregnancy is just a necessary evil for a beautiful end result. I hate how I look, I hate how I feel. I miss being able to have a drink if I want one, I miss my old clothes. I feel frumpy and gross. And I still have so much longer to go.

Thanks ladies. I think it's the weight gain that really has me down. I've gained over 20 lbs and I'm only 19 weeks. Right now, I'm 10 lbs less than what I was when I delivered DD and I'm not even halfway there! I literally don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror. My Mother in Law is coming to visit this weekend and I'm so embarrassed I just wan't to hide under the covers. I just feel like a giant monster

Re: Am I the only one?

Hate it. Hate pregnancy. Done it twice, hope to do it once more. Obviously this is a case of the end justifying the means right, but I definitely do not enjoy being pregnant.

I can't stand it either, and I have super easy pregnancies and deliveries.

I've done it twice and I'll do it again, but I really am not a fan. I'm also not a fan of nursing, but I've done that for a super long time too.

Re: Am I the only one?

I had a miserable pregnancy the first time around, but my pregnancy with DS2 and this one have been much more enjoyable minus the first trimester nausea.

I completely understand about the weight gain. I gained 45 lbs with my first 2 pregnancies and I'm likely on track to gain a similar amount this time. I ate healthier and was more active the second time around, started that pregnancy 25 lbs lighter than my first, was on the GD diet during the third trimester with #2 and I still gained the same amount of weight. This time, I started out 10 lbs lighter than #2, eat pretty well and exercise at least 5x per week. I'm still gaining a lot. It's hard seeing the scale go up so much especially because I didn't want to gain as much as my other pregnancies and I was mostly happy with how I looked pre-pregnancy. I've basically accepted that my body is going to gain what it needs to during pregnancy and there isn't much I can do about it other than trying to stay as in shape as possible. It's so much easier said than done, but try to not focus on the scale. We're doing what our body needs to grow these precious babies.

The only thing I enjoy is not having to suck in my stomach anymore

I hear ya though. My first pregnancy was super easy and I was really in shape and thin when I got pregnant the first time around, so I also felt good most of the time. This pregnancy, I was already 15 lbs heavier than I was when I got pregnant the first time, I had terrible nausea that just started to subside and I'm so uncomfortable already. I can't believe we will be super pregnant in summer!

Pregnancy hates me and I hate pregnancy. I will not miss being pregnant. After this little girl is born, I'm done. I'm counting the weeks. Besides having HG with both pregnancies I just found out I'm anemic so they want to start me on prescription iron pills as if I'm. It constipated enough with the zofran. Ugh.

Am I the only one?

I hated being pregnant. I felt horrible thinking that since it took me forever and went through fertility treatments along the way. I was sick as a dog, fat as could be and had serious complications.

I thank my DS for deciding he was done and that he wanted to come out 3 weeks early. Not sure I would have lasted!

There are plenty of us out there that feel just like you!

Re: Am I the only one?

Nope, you're not alone. I hate being pregnant. From constant "morning" sickness, weight gain, general uncomfortableness, and not being able to drink....I really didn't enjoy being pregnant.

BF sucks too (pun intended ), but I just push through that too.

I liked being pregnant but DESPISE the infant stage. I know - I'm an anomaly!!

Am I the only one?

I hated it so much that I'm one and done. I also hated the newborn stage.

I'd have another baby if I could have a surrogate give birth to a 4 year old for me.

Re: Am I the only one?

You're not alone. I hated it both times. HATED.IT.

Literally the morning after my DD was born I felt like myself again. But those 8 months I was miserable. I hated it so much that I'm not sure I would even do it again.
