Disclaimer 1: this is my 2nd, very wanted and tried for pregnancy. I'm delighted to be adding to my family.
Disclaimer 2: I in no way wish to offend or upset anyone dealing with pg loss, infertility etc who would probably willingly trade places with me and all my grumbles. I do know I am lucky and I really don't want to piss anyone off.
BUT.
I hate pregnancy. Oh, I hate this. I get HG and have a bunch of other issues which mean the whole thing is a slog from beginning to end. I'm exhausted. Constantly vomiting. Bedridden. I'm still carrying my weight from last pg and am only going to look worse after this as I get awful stretch marks and saggy uncared for skin. I can't eat anything except pork chops and chips due to the hg - and I'm a massive foodie in real life, so I'm bored of my food (and bored of seeing it twice!).
We had awful nt results last time (1:2, ds is fine after all) so I am petrified about my scan and will worry continually.
And I'm losing my hair again!
I am so pleased to be having another baby, but the cooking process is something I endure, not enjoy. But I really feel like if I try and sound off in real life I get the following responses:
A. I should count myself lucky to be pg and shut up (usually not from who have had problems ttc, afaik, who are usually lovely. More people who cite other people who have had issues.
B. I shouldn't complain in case I have a mc. Which makes no sense to me - I'm a bit practical and if I did have a mc, I wouldn't associate this with anything I said or thought.
C. I got pg by choice so it's 'self inflicted'.
Well, even if all those people are right, I'm still sick as a dog, and don't enjoy my pregnancies like others do. Can I make this Fred a safe place to have a waaaaah without getting flamed? Please?
Waaaaaah :)

Saw some photos of Peaches bloody Geldof on the net today. Made me all stabby. Bitch looks lovely.
Took all my waah rage out on Holly Willoughby last time. She went into labour, early, on my due date. I was inconsolable. Dh was like, what's wrong? I literally wept at him "Holly Willoughby stole my labour!" 
I've no idea why it's so taboo to complain. We're all supposed to be this stereotypical glowy, serene, happy person in pregnancy. For me, the reality just isn't like that. The hg is lifting now but I still have all the other early pregnancy stuff. I'm still losing my hair, getting spotty, soooo tired, tearful, grumpy, my nice things don't fit me, I've got heartburn (already??) and Im still not at my scan date so The Fear is still there.
Oh, and everyone deciding that you have become amazingly stupid now you're pregnant. I swear I felt the baby move a couple of times. Now, I know it's early (very early) but I'm in my second pregnancy, and I'm spending most of it laying down. I am an intelligent woman and I have been piloting this body around for a long time. I know what wind feels like. And I know what a tiny, faint but unmistakable wriggle feels like too. But everyone goes 'no, you didn't.' Um, sorry, are you in my actual body now? Have I become unable to make judgements now? Dh keeps questioning what I eat and, while I know he has only got our best interests at heart, I want to kill him. I'm doing my very best.
Feeling very waaaaaah today. We are moving at the weekend and as I am so crippled with this hg and being pg, everyone has just planned it all around me and I'm totally excluded, down to people keep saying stuff like "don't you worry about it. It's all under control." I WANT to worry about it. I'm a huge control freak and I love this bit of moving house, deciding where everything goes etc. Dh just said I should be thankful I won't be moving boxes all day! But I WANT to and I HATE the fact that I can't!!! Waah waah waah :(
Phew that feels better :)
Fairly I was exactly like that. I was euphoric the day after DS was born. The mw gave me the stupid little quiz thing which was their highly scientific method of diagnosing PND and I wrote on it "I literally could not be happier" and the mw was all 
but I explained to her: look! Im not pregnant anymore!!! You don't understand how good that feels! I can eat!
at post-pregnancy-euphoria. That should so be a 'thing'! I'll probably get it this time. Last time I was really weepy for the first 36 hours but I'd actually enjoyed being pregnant. Forgotten what that's like now! 
Today, drinking water makes me feel sick. I'm 24 weeks. This should've passed by now & I should be feeling fabulous.
12+6 & counting until I can start actively trying to jiggle him out!
Gertrude, I really hope you feel better for writing that all down - I certainly did ready it. Thanks for laugh
Pls let me join. I know I've only just done test but MASSIVE
. I thought it was an early menopause
.DD took most of my thirties ie 6 yrs and a substantial 5 figure sum-worth of fertility treatment ending up with IVF and being advised that pg wouldn't have happened without the drugs etc as my innards are crap.
Who the f**k has a newborn at 42?!?! (which is what I'll be).
Oh god; heartburn. Weight gain. Pissing for England every 5 mins. My boobs are already 3 sizes bigger. Oh god oh god oh god.
Sorry, I will be delighted I'm just utterly utterly eyeball-rotating-adrenalin-soaked shocked.
Oh god....toilet training again.....sorry that's a diff thread.
