Anyone else hate being pregnant and need somewhere safe to whinge?

[BelleEtLaBaby]

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 :)

Today someone asked how long I've got left (at work) obviously thinking a couple of weeks or something like that. Four months to go I look ready to pop and I've still got four months to go! Their face/jaw just dropped and they scuttled away at speed. So depressing, feel like a one woman freak show.

Just to warn that this is a zombie thread - some of the kids resulting from the pregnancies women were moaning about will be in reception by now

I hate it too and it's my first. I love bump and can't wait to meet him but pregnancy is awful.
My low point was falling in shower as I was off balance then wetting myself from fall and then crying about it for about twenty min. Ugh.
My sister's have fertility issues so I get that I'm lucky but seriously sometimes it doesn't feel that way! Good luck with pregnancy! X

Also wanted baby, very thankful excited etc. But FLIP MY LIFE I HATE PREGNANCY. Horrendous ordeal.

The exhaustion, the HG, the recurring cystitis, the thrush, the exhaustion, the back pain, the hip pain, the stretch marks, the exhaustion, the hair growth, the skin pigment changes, the exhaustion, the swellings, the diet restrictions, etc etc etc

Did I mention the exhaustion?!

This is my second, much wanted etc, I hated pregnancy last time and I hate it again this time! Too hot, constantly uncomfortable, piles, Braxton Hicks, mild spd, anxiety about every little thing, etc etc 😕
