Not a fan of being pregnant!

[NIFEM]

So I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant and although we've been trying for 9 months now I'm actually pregnant I'm not loving it! I've always been a bit of a career girl too so the shift to thinking about life with a baby and the lack of control over my body is a bit of an issue for me! I look forward to being able to interact with my child when it can talk and walk but pregnancy and helpless baby stages I'm not thrilled about! Please tell me I'm not alone!!

I don’t have any pearls of wisdom I’m afraid but I empathise with you completely. I’m pregnant for the first time, and just about to change jobs but my heart is no longer in the new job. I know if I don’t go through with it I’ll be missing a huge career opportunity. I’ve also just spent a year losing loads of weight and was in the best shape of my life. Now I can’t eat anything but carbs due to morning sickness and I have no energy or control over my body. I had no idea pregnancy was going to be this tough! I’ve had my worries and doubts about timing but being a parent is still important to me and is the number one thing I’m excited about.
My hormones were and are all over the place at the moment as yours will be too. Have you got someone you can speak to about this?

Also pregnant for the first time. It was super hard in the first 12 weeks. Everything. I’m now 18 weeks, day to day is fine but I’m struggling with my changing body and how I’m not fitting into stuff and feeling uncomfortable 🙈

Snap - everything you said is exactly the same for me. Plus, I am 18 weeks now, and I still hate pretty much everything about pregnancy. I'd want it all to be over if it weren't for the fact that I am also terrified of having a baby!
