to wonder if any couples have blissfully happy pregnancies?

That's it really. Only 8 weeks with dc and we're arguing almost every night seem to be just passing each other off. I'm exhausted from negotiations with our dictator of a toddler each day and morning sickness is all day long and awful. He's got loads on at work.
Washing basket is overflowing and I've not done dishes since yesterday. Please don't take this piss because I'm just too much of an emotional wreck.
Will we be alright? Is this normal or do other people feel like this too? It should be the happiest time.

I am sure it will get better.

I liked pregnancy. I did not like the feeling sick stage but adored growing and having a child inside me, some of the nicest bits of my life actually but I had no complications, cycled, was fairly active and worked full time until I went into labour so we had a daily nanny at home dealing with the toddlers which probably helped.

Work full time right through pregnancy until you go into labour - the key to happiness and riches of course too!

OP, I didn't like being pregnant. I didn't like DH laughing at my, rem, revised shape. I didn't like feeling sick, knackered and sore. I felt as though I was inhabited by an alien.

It's tiring and stressful and you will feel better once you're past the sick-and-knackered stage.

I had two lovely pregnancies, but I'm not sure I would say they were blissfully happy - I was always worried something bad would happen...every gap between kicks; every time I felt a bit dodgy and thought it was listeria. Spent 9 months worrying pointlessly about the birth, each time. But physically I felt great, loved my round belly and loved feeling my baby move inside me.

The first trimester is worse than my labours imo...
I just had my second child, being pregnant with a toddler is not something I will be repeating.
Toddler and a newborn is easier than toddler and pregnant.
You'll be in your second trimester soon and be feeling better

Congratulations! Being pregnant with dc2 is awful, feel exhausted no energy to anything... No wallowing around napping this time, and dd keeps being ill, so I can't even take her nursery, so I can have a wee rest at go to work!

Thanks for the replies and for being honest about it.
That nice person, I feel like I'm being a bit less dramatic now. I had another shitty night tonight but was a lot nicer to dp and he gave me a back massage which really helped. So things are feeling easier to cope with.

Is it bad that I wish I had a Bernards watch for when dc gets up in the morning?
