Does anyone else hate being pregnant?

[ChocolateTelephone]

Disclaimer that I’m happy and grateful to be having this baby but my god, being pregnant is such a SLOG. I’m 33 weeks so objectively it’s not long to go but I also have no idea how I’ll get through these last few. I’m so sick of the heartburn, the endless need to pee, the sore hips, the stretched ligaments, the shortness of breath, the ungainliness, the exhaustion, the endless discomfort and misery of it all.

I’m so bloody grumpy and ready for this to be over 😭

Are you excited though?

What a weird question.

OP has already said she feels happy and grateful. It's OK to admit when you're not enjoying the actual pregnancy.

Yep!

I remember in our NCT group we were asked what we were looking forward too most about baby arriving. Everyone else gushed about girl/boy, who's eyes that sort of thing. I said not being pregnant any more and my partner said not having to watch me struggle with pregnancy

My next pregnancy ended in miscarriage and whilst utterly heartbroken it had ended I was also very relieved that the sickness and pregnancy symptoms had stopped.

I'm pregnant again and am off sick with sickness and nausea so not loving life right now.

My mum has always been open about hating pregnancy so it's never been sold to me as something magical.

I hated every minute of it...a major reason why I'm a "1and done".

It's sooo hard. I'm having a horrendous first trimester and I'm petrified of having had a MMC and it all having been for nothing.
Definitely feel like I can't complain too much because I know how hard it is for people ttc but I am so miserable.
It's my second and it feels way harder than the first time around.

I’m 14 weeks with third baby and I want the baby now. I don’t want to do pregnancy again. I can’t :( :( I’m so sick of this I’ve done it before pls never again
