am i a terrible person for thinkin god i hate being pregnant...

[kiki22]

i really do hate being pregnant i've been so ill the whole time i just want to fast forward and get my baby! i feel terrible for saying it but it's true, i do get excited when i look at my scans and look at baby stuff but for the most part i just think it sucks!! I also hate all the things i suddenly can't do like play rough with my niece and nefew go on fair ground rides or stand up on the bath edge to change the light bulbs. I'm just thinking now if i can get thro the next few months it'll all be over.

Everytime i hear woman talking about how much they love pregnancy i feel like a crap person does anyone else feel like me?

Empusa take no notice of him if you can, what a plonker really, if he had to go through it he wouldn't be all cartwheels and smiles. its tough going. The boob pain alone is enough to blow my head off sometimes. He should be supporting you and considering your feelings not the other way around, you are carrying his little baby around it its taking its toll on your body.
I also really don't enjoy pregnancy, I have developed an itch/hives/a rash hybrid thing and I haven't slept a night since 8 weeks, I've been to the dermatologist who just gave me aqueous cream because I was pregnant and it just made it worse. I'd jump off a bridge most nights in pain and frustration, not to mention still having morning sickness and feeling exhausted. I can't wait to meet my baby but also I can't wait until the baby is born so I can not feel ill all day every day.

its wonderful to be pregnant therefore your not allowed to moan about all the things that go with it thats rubbish and it doesnt mean your ungratful its venting and letting your emotions out which is healty rather than holding them in.

The only thing that's OK about being pregnant is there isn't another way to acquire a baby that belongs to me and MrNC from the start. And I've done years of ttc'ing and yes, emotionally it's better than not being pregnant. Physically, it's torture.

This is my second time, it's worse than the first, and I'm not having another child after this until I can lay an egg and just sit on it for nine months. Call this the 21st century??

Anyone who tells me that pregnancy isn't an illness (I'm back at work tomorrow after a month of sick/homeworking) or isn't a disability (three months using a wheelchair last time, and so far everything about this pregnancy has been worse), will get my walking stick landing heavily on their foot. Along with "It bloody is the way I do it!"

15 weeks today. At least in around 5 weeks I can have the decent painkillers...

I hated pregnancy from start to finish, and having a newborn. Felt better by the time DS was approx, ummm, 8 months old (you might feel better much sooner). But my overwhelming feeling for at least the first two months of DS's life was THANK GOODNESS I AM NOT PREGNANT AND DO NOT HAVE TO BE EVER AGAIN EVER EVER HURRAH HURRAH.

I am now broody. God help us.

I hated being pregnant 7 years ago with DS and I hate it now. DH is also not supportive at ALL about how I feel and he also says that I take it out on him.

It is not even a case of the sickness or tiredness (though I must confess my sickness is not that bad this time at all), it is just the general feeling I hate.

Soooo so so glad to see this thread - am 20w with my first dc and I'm HATING it! Have only just gone from throwing up several times a day to once a day, feel constantly exhausted, am not really eating, now I'm constipated as well... aargh! Very few of my friends have been pg so they don't really believe me and think that I am whining for no reason. Now I've just found out that two close friends are also pg and so far they have had fine 1st trimesters, no sickness or anything, so I'm starting to worry that they really won't believe me!

so glad to see this thread, it's so reassuring to know i'm not the only one feeling like this!

benne81 - I don't think anybody is saying "I hate being pregnant, and don't care that I'm lucky enough to get pregnant". I knew I was lucky that DH and I could have our own children.
Taking two years to conceive DS, and having frank conversations with DH about what we were going to do about our inability to seemingly have a second child, they were difficult years, and having a threatened miscarriage at 12 weeks was terrifying, but I still had a very time accepting the way my body reacts during pregnancy. Being surrounded by other women who were having wonderful pregnancies, the glowing skin, beaming smile, tenderly holding their neat little bump types didn't help!
