To be really fed up with how pregnancy is making me feel?

[bumpybun]

I know IABU, I am very lucky to be pregnant and lots of people would be very happy in my position. I am really excited abot this baby and it is much wanted.

But, I have another 15 weeks to go and I am soo fed up. I am constantly exhausted, I want to spend more time with my children and my poor DH is really doing a lot in our house/with DC and working F/T. I know people say preganacy is not and illness but it bloody feels like it!

YANBU.
I hated being pg - I was so ill and uncomfortable.
I want no.2 but the thought of pregnancy puts me off!

Not alone 17 wks to go here. I love being pg and feeling the baby move etc love it...but I don't love constant tiredness, my back going out more than I have done in 3 years and trying to roll over onto my other side in the middle of the night without sounding like an elephant 'hurumping' away. Oh and panicing each time I wake up having been asleep on my back and wondering if they baby is okay. And the fact I'm much bigger than last time...so will the stretch marks be twice as big???

But I do love being pg...

i feel the same..15wks to go, 2dc to handle in a gentle caring way and a poor dh who gats the soggy end of my moods.

your not being ungrateful in feeling the need to have a moan. if (like me) you have relentless exhaustion, a hair trigger temprement, a queasy sea sick feeling alternating with a ravenous appetite, palid skin, weird flyaway hair, a wardrobe consisting of four items that fit (god i could go on.......)then you feel really down trodden by it.

i love my children so much and this is a desperately wanted baby, but i'm miserable from the moment of conception until the baby is out and i find it difficult to jolly myself along.

some people have wonderful pregnancies, lucky them, but some people have a really tough deal

Not alone and I have 27 weeks left and I feel like a miserable ill whinger .

I'm 28 wks with number 2, and I hate being pregnant. Like you say, yes we are blessed to be able to get pregnant and have a family and I know there are thousands out there who would give anything to be in my position, but I hate it.
Like you say, it's the constant tiredness along with being this uncomfortable all the time, the kicking the minute you lay down to sleep, getting up 5 times a night to pee, the worry about the baby, the not smoking or drinking (much anyway for me).
Yesterday I had to ask a complete stranger to get some Eggs off the bottom shelf for me as I couldn't get that low.
It's all worth it in the end though

At least I'm not alone.

No, I'm fed up too. 14 weeks to go. But I also just did all this last year and this one wasn't planned. I don't keep great at all during pregnancy and it's not uncommon to want it over with!

I was preg only last year as well and am now feeling like I've been knocked up my whole life.
My friend loves being pregnant and was quite upset after her dd was born as she really missed all the movements. I think she's mental.

I feel the same way bb-16 weeks to go
am just rubbish at being pregnant i think and hate feeling so tired and physically awkward. I don't feel like myself somehow.
work and is bloody knackering too and by the time friday comes (my day off) am generally so tired that i have zero patience with dd and she winds me up a treat...

oh i feel like a right old moaner too
but it seems like sooooooooo long to go still and am only going to get more knackered and huge

aaaah i feel better for a good whinge

Well I'm only 12 weeks so different problem, although I have suffered plenty of sickness and tiredness!

At the moment I feel like it has driven all my motivation away and I can't keep up with my degree and work and feel totally pathetic that I feel this way!

Not at all. I'm 31 weeks, 2nd time, 1st child only 18 months old. dp is wonderful at doing everything that needs to be done and letting me rest, but I'm fed up with everything including being cross with me for feeling so sorry for myself.

And I'm not being as sick as unpleasantly as I was first time round, either.

Bumpy, have you joined the antental thread (I'm guessing March 2009)?

Are you working?

I went to an aquanatal class last week, though I didn't understand some of the exericses, lying in a warm swimming pool took away so much of my discomfort. I don't know if such a class or even swimming on your own is a possibility for you (for me it means relying on dp to collect ds, care for him and do bedtime alone, and I do miss seeing ds after work).

LittleSarah The beginning is tough, but pretty soon you'll get a big burst of energy, be fine for a while and then it gets a bit tough again towards the end.

Not at all. My BF loved pregnancy, and sailed through both of hers serenely.

I felt (and looked) like I was on chemo.

Someone on here (I think it might have been MrsBadger) once wrote that pregnancy may not be an illness, but if you had half the symptoms and weren't pregnant, you'd think you were dying.

Keep counting off the days, and look at all the baby photos of the others to remind yourself how lovely they were.

Thank God!I've 10 weeks to go and haven't spoken to (d)h since Saturday! Am exhaused with work, housework and minding our dd. Our CM is ill so am juggling minders. Am so f**n angry at h, could happily kill him. Hate being so fat, don't know if what I'm feeling is reasonable or hormonal...

littleboyblue - can't wait for that bit!

Think it's a bit of both jamescagney.
Isn't nice to off load all of this with people that feel the same way and not be made to feel guilty?
I'm so glad I'm not the only one in the world that hates all this.

YANBU!

i am developing a pathological hatred of my fellow commuters too...when there is nowhere to sit on the bus or the train and everyone carefully avoids catching your eye...I end up seething inside, it's got to be bad for me
