The "I'm so grateful to be pregnant and love my baby so much... but can't wait for this horrid pregnancy to be over" thread :D

[milk]

So I thought we needed a thread where we can have a good moan, but still feel extremely grateful to be pregnant and love our babies!

I'll start. I am 13+6 weeks with DC2. Every day I feel like I am dying. With sickness, exhaustion, stinky farts, acne everywhere, headaches, horrible metal taste in my mouth, ouchy breasts, a belly that makes me look fat rather than pregnant... I won't go on but safe to say I can't wait for these 6 months to fly by!

blacktreaclecat- I hope you get better soon and are able to get out of the hospital soon :)

BareBums- as we made you laugh, please leave us a joke in exchange :)

laughingGnomette- I'm due in October :( Being massive in the heat- another thing to look forward to :( You are still working?!? You are a saint!

Kayzr- Yay, a girl after boys :) How much online window shopping are you doing for sweet little girl clothes? :P

MillyStar, the haircut sounds nice :) I've needed one for weeks but haven't found time to fit it in.

bushymcbush, what a horrible pregnancy You deserve a medal!!! So happy your little girl is alright :)

Purplecatti, OMG both SILs told me giving birth is like dying, which scared me like hell... but then I had DS and it was all fine :)

SarryB, 1 month to go Is this your first DC?

hamncheese- I am having DC2 purely because of a passionate night on the couch with DH- but after this child DH is getting a vasectomy

luckysocks Saw this, thought of you... www.yogabodynaturals.com/scream-room

heartmoonshadow Being induced early sounds great, but Pre-eclampsia does not :( and neither does staying in hospital :( Hope you feel better soon

luckysocks YES to the cheese thing. ARGH! I want my cheese. Just got a whole camembert (YES heated all the way through and YES made with pasturised milk) and ate it all

milk ha. If you just stick your head in a normal fridge will that have the same effect, or will it just amplify the sound and make you appear even more nuts than before? hmm....

hamncheese mmmm that sounds good :) The funny thing is, I don't even miss blue cheese that much, it just happened to set me off

Hi all - I'm 22 weeks and every day finding a new ailment to moan about. At the moment I feel like I have prickly heat all over my neck and face. I keep rushing to the loo at work thinking I must be looking like a radish but there's nothing there, just the feeling!!!!!

I'm now 5 days overdue and definitely ready for DC2 to be born. DD is being very sweet to me in her own toddler way. Think even she can tell I'm very fed up.

milk - I'm so sorry!! My baby brain read your dates as 36 weeks rather than 13+6. I must have sounded like I was really rubbing it in!!

Milk I have bought loads of pink clothes!! I know lots of people on mumsnet moan about the amount of pink stuff but after 2 boys it's nice to have a change.

Yes this is so me. This baby is so so wanted (clomid baby) and I love him to bits so much already but...
First trimester I was so ill for the first 3 months it's was like the worst hangover I have ever had but without the fun part of drinking and no break. With mil keep saying wow your pregnancy is just wizzing past isn't it, no it is not wizzing past every day was like torture so stop saying it is wizzing past every time I see you, and you commenting to dh how I wasn't perky enough when we saw her after I had endured a whole days work feeling awful (and not being able to show it) then having to drive an hour over to her for her to moan about really stupid stuff isn't helping.

2nd trimester was good felt so much better skin clear etc

Now in third trimester, my back aches, sitting at work all day is so hard. Sleeping is difficult as my hips ache from sleeping on one side too long. Plus I am thinking of having my phone and post redirected to the bathroom as I seem to spend most of my time in there weeing! All my favourite foods I can't eat and I really want to drink a good couple of glasses of wine. Dh had the nerve to moan to me last night how it was awful as he went out for a really nice lunch but because of what he was doing in the afternoon he couldn't have a glass of wine and how difficult it was to go for the whole of lunchtime when they were in such a lovely restaurant with an amazing wine list... I came very close to hitting him!
I am bored of my very small selection of clothes, I want my body back!
Roll on June!

yes milk it's my first baby - mostly I just want to know if it's a boy or a girl!! Am also suffering from mega smelly farts today. Probably because of the super-hot curry the boyfriend made me last night - I think he was secretly hoping that it would induce labour, but it has resulted in these farts instead...I just hope the smell has gone by the time he gets back for lunch!

florin - I am also dying from my lack of clothes. I may go on a little online shopping spree this afternoon and get myself some purple skinny jeans for when after the baby arrives...

I'm 36+3 with dc6 and I'm literally counting down the days . When im not pregnant my mind plays tricks on me and I convince myself Its not that bad, when in reality I hate every minute I should get shares in gaviscon, im waking myself up half crying at night everytime i roll over and if one more person tells me it's not long left I think I might cry. Sorry for the rant but If I start moaning in RL I think all my friends might go into hiding for the next 4 weeks

Can i join, could do with a really good moan... im now 29 weeks, had spd since week 11, can barely move some days, hate having sore hips, cant sleep cos im never comfy then just when i do get comfy my bladder is pounced upon like a trampoline and i fear peeing myself if i dont get up, dp comes home every night to see me making tea, eating then saying goodnight around 7ish, even through the day i do nothing but sleep and moan to anyone who will listen, gone off sex completely, all i wanna do is lie in bed and eat sausage butties and ice cream (tho not together),whilst watching crap 5 movies, constant headaches, constant farting, the needing to poo then you get there and the colon basically laughing at me saying haha tricked you again, people telling me it will all be worth it in the end (i just want to punch you), hating living in the same 2 pairs of leggings, love feeling little bump move, then after the 3rd of 4th time im begging it to stop and now i think i have a chest infection and cant breathe. im so over the looking like an elephant and walking like a granny thing, and whats worse i have 2 more months of all this

if i didnt have a huge bump blocking me from doing anything normal i would swear death was imminent.

thankyou for letting me rant.

40 weeks today and fed up, i need to pee all the time i'm living off Gaviscon and if one more person asks if i've had any twinges yet i will scream, Rant over

Am I allowed a moan? Went to see midwife today to get blood tests done, am dead on 15 weeks and so far have lost 17lbs from my pre pregnancy weight (10sone 3lbs) due to being so incredibly sick.

I feel so weak and ill and don't even have the energy to be excited

Hopefully the sickness will stop soon!

Happenstance I feel your pain! Every day I go to pick up DD from nursery I get "any twinges yet?" Its getting harder to grit my teeth, smile and say "not yet", but I don't want to be rude as people are trying to be nice. DH gets it more often than I do TBH. He told me today he's started answering people saying "oh yes, had it last night" and then making up the gender and weight etc.

LittleWhiteWolf do you get the oh was your DD overdue as if that makes some sort of difference. baby comes when baby comes whish in my case will probably be 12 days from now

36 weeks... i've been having the most horrible acid reflux and heartburn (woke myself up by being sick!!) , can't get comfortable in any position.. everyone is telling me as it's my first, "take advantage of this baby free time, use it to sleep" YES, LIKE I CAN!

Happenstance - 39+2 and not yet told anyone to fuck off for asking me about bloody twinges! I think I deserve a medal. This bloody pregnancy is never ending.

So today I have splitting headache (being continually stabbed in eye), nausea, exhaustion, bowling ball in belly, rash on tummy (like I've been attacked by mosquitoes) and killer farts. My legs feel like I've overdone the thighmaster and I feel like I permanently need a shit.

Also I've grown out of my maternity clothes except for the leggings, which I've worn so much they now have holes in.

And this is the time in my pregnancy when the world and his wife have taken to dropping in unannounced 'just to see how I'm doing'!!!

Who drops in like that 5 days before the due date - it's like Piccadilly bloody Circus here - and all I want to do is watch CSI in my pjs!!

Grr.

Ooh this thread's therapeutic.

Ps ...if one more person tells me how much it's going to hurt but how I'll forget instantly when it's over I won't be held responsible for my actions!

Feel like shite.

I just can't get the energy up to do anything. At all. Yesterday I was enjoying a lovely long bath with some Jelly Tots (serious sweet tooth at the minute) only to need to jump out and be sick. Grr. I thought I was done with vomiting.

I'll be 37 weeks on Sunday.

And everyone I know who's due near the same time I am has either just had their baby, or appears to be in perfect health and not suffering at all.

This is the thread I have been looking for. I am so grateful that my DC1 will have a sibling so close in age but being 31 wks pregnant and chasing after a 10.5 month old is exhausting. I am exhausted. I feel I shouldn't complain as its my choice to pregnant again so soon and I should have known how tough it would be but.....
*Braxton hicks- ouch!
*Back pain- ouch
*Kung fu kicks all day long-ouch (however its great to know s/he is happy inside)

• Boo to the bottle of champagne I received today as a belated birthday present, I sooooo want to drink it, and eh hello, I am pregnant, why did you tease me with champagne??!!
• the hormones- the tears have been free flowing all week, feel like an emotional wreck and in general I am super sensitive to all things, even animals on TV are getting me teary let alone the starving children ads....
• going to bed at 9pm, i wish I had the energy to spend a night up with DH even watching a movie but too tired ALL THE TIME and THE FEAR: I know what labour is like and while I know I can cope as I did it with G&A the last time its the unknown of when will it be,will I go over, go early, be induced, will it be as fast and furious as DC1? etc and I cannot wait to lose all the weight and look and feel nice again :)

Still pregnant and def have pre-eclampsia fed up of being told by health professionals 'just being monitored' it is a nuisance no-one will make a decision they are worried about a small baby, I feel like a beached whale and am measuring 1 week ahead of dates so what is the problem! Going to see consultant on Wednesday may get a better response there and I tell you what I am not being fobbed off with useless Registrar again he can't decide if he should wipe his own bum without asking the consultant so is no good to me!

heartmoonshadow I feel your pain! I am due today and have the delightful pregnant woman's overhang at the bottom of my belly. Also been to hospital twice this week to be monitored for PE (negative apparently...) and will be back there tuesday for more!

Also developing a delightful sweat rash on my left thigh from where my bump rests on it at night, which is another place to scratch: gives me a bit of variety from the inflamed stretch marks on my belly that now have hydrocortisone and Vaseline smeared all over them!

It's a beautiful time...pregnancy really does make one bloom.

...oh yeah and there's a chance the 2 cats might have fleas, which could account for a delightful rash %233 on my hands and arms! Or it could just be more pregnant bullshit!

Really can't wait to meet my beautiful baby...at least this is making me look forward towards labour!

vix1980 - Are we twins? Would have fallen off my chair laughing if I didn't feel like my fannois was being torn in half.

Im fed up. I have SPD, GD, Coeliac disease and my blood doesn't clot properly. My fingers are so sore from glucose monitoring I can't even tell you, and I just want to sit in a large bucket of iced water. I can't even get comfy in the bath just to get a bit of relief. My waist measurement is 107cm and I'm too scared to get on the scales.

And I swear this baby is an alien. With big pointy teeth. My belly button scares me so much that I have nightmares about it on the rare occasion that I can sleep. Can't bear another ten weeks of this shit heartwarming time.

Yep, fed up. I am delighted to be pregnant after 3 rounds of IVF and $30k spent, but I have been on bed rest for two whole months due to a hematoma. It's not fair. And I have a headache which is so bad I have been throwing up since Thursday night. And I still have 6 months to go.
