Not really enjoying pregnancy

[Elliejmulligan]

I know your not supposed to say this, but ive had a really hard time with sickness, heartburn, tiredness, incontinence, bad skin, no appetite, food aversions. This just has not been enjoyable. is anyone else feeling the same? Im 31 weeks today, and just cant wait to give birth now as im fed up! am i being really dramatic?

I've had two children. Not a fan of pregnancy at all.

Do you know what's good? When you're in the delivery room, had the baby, absolutely exhausted after a couple of days in labour, covered in shit/blood/vomit, legs swollen, undercarriage stitched back together. And you somehow get up of the bed to head to the shower. And as you stand up you realise that you're two stone lighter and have a normal centre of gravity and what you think is "this is great - I feel so NOT pregnant!"

You lot are all so kind!! Thank god I'm not the only one feeling shite. Hope you all feel better soon!x

I love that at my midwife appointment this week I said I was really struggling with rib and ligament pain, and that I'm finishing work early as I'm so tired, and she wrote in the notes that I'm feeling generally well! I think it's depressingly normal to find pregnancy a struggle.

I love being pregnant in that it took years of trying to get here, and the wiggles are so special, and I can't wait to meet baby. But it really is a challenge to get through!

I'm 32 weeks today and counting down the seconds.

I had a lovely first pregnancy and this second one has been ghastly, thanks to having to monitor both GD and Hashimoto's. Insomnia has been another overriding theme of my second pregnancy, though I've had little in the way of aches and pains and still go the gym four times a week, so it's not totally horrible.

Hate it!! 37wks with DC2 and never ever doing it again. (And I mean it this time!)

I hate being pregnant with a passion!!! I'm on no.2, and while I'm so grateful to be able to have another 1, I hate it!!!! I'm only 16 weeks, but my word! I hated it with no. 1 as well. But I feel I can't really say it to other ppl, friends or family, bar the hubby.
