Everything is pissing me off.

[kickingking]

I'm 20 weeks with DC2. Everything and everyone is pissing me off.

I was like this for the entire 38 weeks of my first pregnancy and was determined not to repeat it all this time around. I have tried really hard, despite being more tired than I knew was possible - laughing along when people tell me how huge I am already (truthfully I hate comments like that), trying to enjoy it this tine and posting a bump pic on Facebook, treating myself to nicer maternity clothes than l had last time.

I can't keep it up any longer. I don't like being pregnant. I don't like the way I look or the the way I feel. I am huge and uncomfortable already. I am exhausted and so many things are getting difficult at work and round the house. I can't bear all the appointments (high risk so lots of them)

I feel that DH, although trying to be sympathetic, is beginning to resent how useless I am now, the way Christmas shopping wipes me out for the whole of the next day and my bump is already hindering me.

I am so pissed off all the time, I feel like I can't even stand the way my husband breathes at the moment. I feel like a useless lump who is no good to anyone and want to be one of these women who carry on working and going to the gym til they give birth. Instead I can't even walk a mile without needing a nap at 20 weeks.

Please can I go and hibernate somewhere for the next four and a half months?

With DD1 I had about two weeks of feeling great, the rest was a bit crap. I still loved being pregnant though, but only for certain parts of the day, usually when I was in bed or in the bath or sitting in front of mindless television eating loads of biscuits... those were the days! What is a gym? What is it actually for when you're pregnant? Bugger that.

Yes, you can go and hibernate. And do your Christmas shopping online I wish you lots of luck for the rest of your pregnancy and congratulations of course.

Oh and DP was public enemy numero uno. You're not alone in that.

I know just what you mean!!
with my first pregnancy my sis in law was due the same time as me and she loved it looked fab healthy gliwing didnt gain much weight worked up to the day she went into labour everyone commented how well she looked and that she was blooming!

then there was me looking awfull I get terrible achne when pregnant I had a average size bump but got massive everywhere else ike mrs blobby I was being sick non stop had heartburn sciatica swelling and awfull labour etc etc!

i hoped this time I may be lucky but the only thing I havnt had that bad is sickness apart from that I look awfull im shattered im fat as a house skin is awfull even worse than the first time I cant walk very far as I get awfull pains in my groin and hips my moods are terrible im either a grump cow or stupidly senstive nothing inbetween im under the care of a speacialist due to a very small baby being scanned fortnightly at a hospital a hour away my poor husband does so much with are 21 month old to help but I litrally am dead by the afternoon!

I just guess pregnancy dosent suite me and I just have to think.its a means to a end??

ems 22+1 weeks xx

I think I just felt that I needed 'permission' to feel like this.

People keep telling me I look lovely but I don't feel it. I am very tiny with a huge round tummy and if last time was anything to go by, the bump will get epic after Christmas. I actually had people pointing and staring at me in shops last time, I know it's going to happen again and I'm dreading it.

The appointments are endless and I'm fed up of being spoken to like an idiot. A midwife felt the need to tell me that an obstetrician is a 'baby doctor' last week.

My mum keeps trying to tell me that I do like being pregnant really. No, mum, I really really don't.

There's another thread nearby where many of us who have reached the seething rage stage are supporting each other to not commit violent acts against pretty much anyone/anything. Can't link as on phone but come find us, it helps to know you're not the only one having murderous thoughts

I know the feeling. I feel like I've been pregnant forever - am 38 weeks so almost there. Horrendous mood swings followed by hyperemesis followed by general exhaustion and bloating. Now the size of a house. All I want to do is complain and grouch, and be waited on hand and foot by DH - who seems to think I'm making a fuss.

A friend on FB has had her baby and has lost all of her baby weight within 3 weeks bitch and I'm wondering whether I will ever lose the mountains of cellulite which now make up my legs. I have put on 4 stone, and don't even feel like I have overeaten. Another friend is pg and I swear she hasn't put on any weight at all and has the nicest roundest little bump. And she has glowed throughout. bitch

Ah, thanks for the cathartic rant
