I hate being pregnant

[crazybutkind]

There...I said it, I know how ungrateful and selfish I sound as there are many women out there who long to be pregnant but I am done!

I have officially hit a wall!

I am exhausted I just want to lie in a dark silent room alone and be left there until this baby is born.

I have restless legs, varacus veins, constant thrush, heartburn daily, pelvic gurdle pain and migraines at least twice a week.

I am so so fed up!!

I'm 38 weeks and all I have done today is cry and feel sorry for myself.

Tell me I'm not the only one and if you want to scold me or try covering it in glitter and rainbows please don't because I'm fed up of people trying to remind me that "it's all worth it"

I have close friends who are waiting to go through fertility treatments so I feel awful venting/moaning to them. I dread each day. I don't want to get out of bed and look after my little girl, and at the end of the day I dread going to bed because I know how bad I am sleeping at the min and I hate the struggle of trying to get comfortable.

After reading the comments it's safe to say I'm not alone x

Both my babies are IVF babies (currently 36 weeks with number 2). I am incredibly thankful and aware how lucky I am to have two pregnancies considering the very real alternative.

I still hate the 3rd trimester. It is way way harder with a toddler, and harder still with lock down. I am with you on the near constant heartburn trail (my glass recycling is just bottles of gaviscon), SDP, back ache and since the heat hit, massivly swollen feet and insomnia. Iron tables meaning I'm blocked up. Moving seems impossible. I have huge guilt about the absolutly minimal amounts of excercise DD is getting.

DP is a key worker on an infrastructure project and is pulling 50-60 hour weeks trying to get everything done so he can have 6 weeks off once baby is here. He has informed me he is working tomorrow now as well, so won't even get to share toddler duties at the weekend. :(

It's ok to know that the outcome is good and still hate the process. Can't wait for DD2 to be here and out of me.

Yeah I'm with you, pregnancy does not suit me either, I'm on my second pregnancy, only 16 weeks in but I moan daily as i just feel ill every day, just feel off if you get me. So I totally know how you feel and I say moan ahead as pregnancy is bloody hard work and you deserve a moan!!!! Xx

Yeah it's awful.
I'm glad your gp has sorted you out with meds. Omperazole was a game changer for me.
I hate how just when I think I've got one thing under better control something else raises its head or comes back

I'm with you OP!
I'm only 17 weeks and I wish I could fast forward to the end. My body does not suit pregnancy at all. Had severe sickness and still feel queasy and crap constantly. Can't get comfortable, my pelvis and thighs hurt all the time. Heartburn/reflux is unreal and I know it will only get worse! Also had awful constipation and ended up with piles as a side effect of the anti sickness meds. I have zero energy and feel awful I haven't been able to do anything with my daughter.

I felt the same in my first pregnancy although the sickness had gone by this point and I had no other major problems. I hated the last trimester when moving is such an effort and everything hurts! Took me 7 years to talk myself into doing it again, I was adamant for a long time that I would never have another! This is definitely the last time. I am literally counting down the days and just been googling vasectomies and female sterilisation 😂

• just think you're so close now! You can do it. Just take it hour by hour, day by day and keep a count down going

Pregnancy the first time round was really quite pleasant for me after the first few weeks of hangover like symptoms. I felt a bit tired towards the end, but went on mat leave quite early so spent my days laying in the garden drinking lemonade and napping. Had no troublesome symptoms and walked 10 miles the day I went into labour. Felt great really.

Fast forward 3 years, I have a (lovely, but energetic!) 3 year old to keep busy during lockdown with no preschool / friends / family to break the week up. I'm 27 weeks. Back aches. Feel so slow and fat. Varicose veins all over my vagina. Just started to get uncomfortable piles today. Permanently shattered. Not enjoying it this time round at all. Worried how I will manage another 11 weeks!

Luckily am having an elective section at 38 weeks so at least I won't go overdue!

I don't remember being this miserable in my first pregnancy I was still working at this stage with my first pregnancy.

This pregnancy especially this last trimester has just confirmed I won't be doing this again.

My OH has just been and picked up my prescription so I feel a little better, amazing how much joy a carrier bag of tablets brings.

I thought I had it lucky this time with sickness it was really mild, and that was the most miserable part of my first pregnancy.

Has anyone who already has other child/ren got any help from family? My OH has mentioned twice this week about little girl going to grandparents for a few hours but i can't find myself to "break the rules" even though she will be going there when I'm in labour

Lololol OP!!

My previous MN post about this EXACT thing:

I hate it, I’m sick of it and I’m being induced at 37 weeks (3 more weeks to go!) The thought of if I had to go to 40 makes me feel ill!!

2 more weeks to go mamma!!
