So I know I am being unreasonable. But after struggling for so long to get pregnant (years of monthly heartbreak, being told it wouldn't happen for us without medical intervention, followed by what felt like a miracle conception), I am finding pregnancy so so hard.
I am now 38 weeks so not long to go, but it has been 9 months of sickness and pain. I was sick regularly until around 24 weeks when it eased off a little, I've had hip pain since the beginning. I'm enormous (measuring big) and uncomfortable and now I have carpal tunnel syndrome which I never even knew was a pregnancy thing and I just can't believe how bad it is. The other day I woke myself up from a nap (napping is essential because of pregnancy insomnia) by heartburn making me sick in my mouth.
I'm sick of this and I feel so so guilty for even complaining on here anonymously because we are so grateful to even be in this position.
I don't complain in real life (except to long-suffering dh), as I just can't be that person who moans about being pregnant when I know how hard it is for those who can't conceive. But honestly I feel wretched at times.
I realise this is definitely more of a rant than a true AIBU but thank god for mumsnet and an anonymous forum where I can offload.
