Hating being pregnant :(

[Teeeee]

Am in my first trimester and this is my first pregnancy and I am hating it! On the day my period was due I immediately felt dizzy, fatigued and not myself. Am so exhausted and nauseous and emotional. I know this is normal but I am hating every second and just don't feel like me. Is anyone else feeling like this?

I'm 7 weeks and the nausea and loss of appetite is kicking in. I'm trying to stay positive but I'm really looking forward to the second trimester when hopefully this will all stop and I'll have lots more energy. Hopefully things will pick up for you too x

I'm pregnant with #2, the first trimester is definitely the worst imo. It sucks. I'm just over 13 weeks now, almost out of the first trimester and slowly starting to feel better!

It's not just you, the first trimester bites in every way, even when you are very happy to be pregnant.

Just keep doing what you can and putting one foot in front of the other - odds are trimester two will be much better. I'm 10+3 and have as usual started to feel significantly better in the last 2 days.

I loathed being pregnant, absolutely hated every minute, the whole nine months. Just awful. Felt awful the whole time, constantly on the verge of being sick, aches and pains everywhere, knackered! I thought I'd love pregnancy and find babies really difficult, turned out it was the opposite! (Thankfully, really!) it's a means to an end, really. Try and be kind to yourself, and don't feel guilty that you're not overflowing with maternal joy, it can be a really miserable time for some of us!

Being pregnant was entirely awful in.almost every conceivable way. I was more comfortable post birth, even with the inevitable pain that comes.with that, than I had been for WEEKS. Such a relief.

Don't get me wrong I adore my child but I despised everything about it and most definitely do not look back on it fondly.

Just remember that it won't last forever (only thing that got me through it!)

I'd say it was totally worth it but ds is still an only four years later....

I am exactly the same as you. (Second pregnancy)
I knew I was pregnant with that totally wiped out feeling the day after my missed period! It's an unmistakable feeling.

Oh yes, the first trimester is absolutely shite.

I get throughout using my mother's advice: it's only a few months so do whatever makes you happy while you cope with it. That meant lots if nice treat foods and several day trips out.

Honestly OP, in my opinion a nauseous hormonal first trimester is waaaaaaay worse than childbirth so think of this as the worst part out months way early!

I'm 38 weeks and feel the same way. I've had HG all the way through (still throwing up now), I'm uncomfortable, tired, hormonal and just fed up!

My first pregnancy was much more straightforward and I still hated it. I'm just not a happy pregnant person!

Thank you so much for sharing! Makes me feel so much better that I'm not alone feeling this way. X

The first 4 months were such an ordeal I told my husband there was no way we were ever having another one, but it did get better. Please don't get downhearted if you don't feel better instantly at 12/13 weeks. It was 17 weeks before I felt vaguely human, but hopefully you'll get there sooner! All the articles about how wonderful and glowing you'll feel once you cross the magic threshold of the second trimester were totally maddening!

I'm in the first trimester too (9 weeks) with my first, and I feel lousy. Most people seem to say it does get better though! Sending you a big hug, we'll both get through it. It's the dizziness that's killing me...

Pregnant with my second. I have 10weeks till due date. I'm counting down..... by the hour. I hate being pregnant with a passion, nothing about it I like at all.
I'm tired I can't eat I can't drink I waddle I itch I can't get comfy anywhere and heart burn is evil.

Oh and SPD is horrifically painful this time.
My poor toddler must tho k I've gone nuts past few months, I know my partner does! Stupid hormones.

I hate it too. I'm 31 weeks, was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and SPD. I have horrific indigestion, and I cannot eat much food without it spiking my sugars or making me feel sick. Its awful. I'm ready to sleep a full night without worrying whether I'm sleeping on my back or not. My back HURTS. My boobs ache. I'm looking forward to labour and I have like another 9 weeks! I just want to meet my child, go on a long term contraception so I don't get pregnant for a long time (if ever), and have a glass of wine and slice of cake without guilt! I'm also sick of wheezing as I climb the stairs due to my baby being breech, legs completely outstretched in the womb, and her head is pressing against my lungs. FFS.

I felt like I was on a ferry in high seas for the first 16 weeks - birth (even one that ended in an emergency csection) and having s baby were vastly preferable in comparison. I think it's the sheer relentless nature of pregnancy illness that makes it feel so unbearable - it felt like I couldn't even remember what NOT feeling nauseous and exhausted felt like you're not alone, it can be bloody hard!

Also, I'm sick of napping all day. FFS I've missed so much in the world by the amount of sleeping I do each day. I was exhausted in the first trimester, but it didn't really let up in the second. I don't know who was blooming and lovely in their second but that phase clearly skipped over me! I still feel like shit. Ugh, and if one more person tries to comment about how big my boobs are, or that I've gained/lost weight, I'll probably smack them in the face. And please, ask me whether I plan to breastfeed. I'm currently planning on just making sure the baby gets out properly. I'll worry about feeding her when its time!

8 weeks to go here and I've had enough. I'm not ungrateful being pregnant, I had an ectopic pregnancy before this, I'm just tired all the time. I haven't had my nesting period, fed up with water being the only thing I can drink, constant nasty taste in my mouth & excessive saliva that means I've been living with a bucket since I was 9 weeks. Sleeping or attempting to sleep at night is a nightmare, my hips are always aching & every time I roll over, I need to pee or spit in my bucket. I just have to hang in there.

After 3 pregnancies, severe HG and severe SPD - I can confirm I neither bloomed or glowed (unless you count the red flushed cheeks after throwing up) - and I hated every single second of the entire 9 months.

Hang in there. I'm so grateful for my children. But I never want to go through another pregnancy and labour ever again.

I'm 8 weeks with number 2, DD is 11 months so mostly low maintenance, happy to play and eat and sleep. Starting a new job next week and I'm so worried because I've never known nausea like it. Like being permanently sea sick

Yes I'm 7 weeks and also feel permanently sea sick!! Am already sick of feeling sick and napping all the time.. why doesnt anyone tell you that pregnancy feels like bullocks? I hope it does get better, but I guess just have to take it one day at a time. Thanks for sharing xx

Im 6wks with my 3rd and i absolutely hate it already. Neither of my previous pregnancys were anything like this one and its still early days ☹.
Im constantly hungry but i dont want to eat because i also feel constantly sick. Im suffering with dizzy spells and lighheadedness. Cant get more than a couple of hours sleep at night which leaves me completely wiped out during the day and on top of that my emotions are EVERYWHERE my poor partner dont know what to do woth me!

I've not yet met a woman who likes pregnancy, I think the glowing stuff is a lie!

@OliviaTheFox i enjoued my 1st the second i suffered with terrible morning sickness but this time round i have everything

Yes it's awful. Took until about 16 weeks for me but finally tapered off and I actually feel like myself again! Although still tired all the time. Like everyone else says, just hang in there it isn't forever.

I remember spending days just wondering why it was so unfair that I had to feel this bad! Truly awful. At least it doesn't sound like you're vomiting (yet). There are always bright sides!
