Can I be honest?

[SquealyB]

My name is SquealyB and I HATE being pregnant.

This is DC1 and I am 21+3. I am tired, emotional, fat, sore, spotty, pyschotic and sick to death of not feeling like me any more. How am I going to get through the next 19 weeks??

I am so excited about being a mum, cannot wait to be meet my baby but I suck at being pregnant. Before pregnancy, I was fun, outgoing, sociable, a night owl, a real foodie etc. Now I hate most food (and most people), I am tired all the time, cannot get motivate at work, cannot stay awake and I am acting like a harpy towards my DH.

God I really HATE feel this way sob.

Me too! Loved being pregnant first time round. This time it just feels like a choore and I want it over. I can't even seem to think about having a baby at the end of it all, somehow can't seem to imagine or picture it. Not had nearly as bad a time as some do but still throwing up at 20 weeks, though it is far better than a few weeks ago when I felt sick every waking minute. And SOOO utterly exhausted. Legs feel constantly heavy and achy and for no real reason I am just NOT enjoying it this time. Feel bad as I enjoyed it so much last time and was so excited, and this time can't seem to find those feelings. Still, nice to know it's not just me!

I am 34 weeks and have had enough of the pelvic pain, insomnia, exhaustion, bum problems, heartburn, nausea, Braxton hicks and waiting! Have elcs booked for 39 weeks, but 5 weeks has never felt like such a long time!

Pregnancy 1 was easier as I didn't also have a toddler to deal with .
