Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1485019 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:45:58 +0000 anandam 1485019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I actually really do love being pregnant, but I absolutely HATE that I still have to keep doing all the other stuff I had to do before. Same crowded subway commute, same work hours, same household chores, same grooming needs - even though God knows I can hardly breathe/reach/bend/see to do any of it the same way I did before. Everything feels different, not in a bad way, but in a way that makes it very hard to keep on doing anything other than be pregnant.</p> <p>I wish I could just spend the months sitting in a sunny field tanning my big belly while fairies rubbed my feet and braided flowers into my hair or something. Then it'd be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1479841 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 01:32:35 +0000 googly-eyes 1479841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was surprised at how difficult the first trimester was, but other than that I didn't really have any issues. I don't think I "loved being pregnant" if I remember right, but I didn't really mind either. I didn't love having to pee, and I wasn't "all belly" so I didn't love that either, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1479839 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 01:25:58 +0000 Amelieisme 1479839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it too! I have easy pregnancies too, but just hate being so big. I hate all of the comments about it, all day long. I hate dressing myself. I hate the heartburn that I get no matter what I eat. I keep thinking "only 3 more weeks of pregnancy EVER" as this is my second and, hopefully, last pregnancy. I wish I could enjoy these final weeks, but I'm just looking forward to baby being here and not having a watermelon stuffed in my abdomen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1479792 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 23:33:32 +0000 Grace 1479792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like being pregnant either. It was so hard to feel so different. To be so out of breath all the time, to feel faint in the shower, to feel like my belly was going to explode. And I HATED morning sickness. That was miserable. I was so happy to not be pregnant anymore. That feeling of being 10+lbs lighter was amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1479474 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:17:17 +0000 Lindsay05 1479474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second thing I said after LO was born was, "I am not pregnant anymore!" It is a hard job growing a human! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1479466 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:11:55 +0000 MsMamaBear 1479466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, HATED it. I had an easy pregnancy- no problems whatso ever- but I hated peeing so much and hell, I hated throwing up and peeing myself (sometimes in public!)at the same time every week for the first trimester.</p> <p>IF I ever have another, I'd like to grow him/her in a flower pot please. :) LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1479226 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 16:57:05 +0000 gingerbebe 1479226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just about 13w pregnant. This is after 2 MCs and 3 years of trying and I STILL hate being pregnant. I feel lucky and blessed and know this will all be worth it in the end but its TERRIBUL. I can't even imagine how miserable I will be at the end when I'm huge and its over 100 degrees here in the summertime. Perhaps I'll love it in the 2nd trimester, but I'm just sick as a dog all the time, I'm either starving or feel uncomfortably full, the heartburn, the peeing, the sleep issues, the constipation, the stuffy nose. Its been hard to deal with every single day since 5w! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1477752 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 09:58:59 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1477752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: thank you!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1477728 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 09:54:39 +0000 LovelyPlum 1477728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: that's a lot to go through, Mama! I hope that you and the little miss are doing well, despite all of the stresses. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1477704 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 09:49:21 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1477704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I'd absolutely LOVE being pregnant, especially after dealing with IF for a while. But I'd agree with the rest of you that I really do not enjoy being pregnant.. Granted, I have been on bed rest and high risk since 16 weeks and that's mainly why, but I also feel like I'm constantly worrying between a short cervix, cerclage, 2 risk markers during our anatomy, and genetic testing, I'm going nuts! There are great moments when I feel like I'm bonding with her, but I just want it to be July already and know that she will be ok and healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1474964 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 16:10:03 +0000 mrsrain 1474964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: I was thrilled when we finally conceived, and I am grateful every day (it took us over a year of TTC and a prior miscarriage), but I do not love pregnancy.</p> <p>My first trimester I was miserably sick. I was comfortable for all of about 2 weeks of my second tri before I started getting back problems thanks to the discomforts of sleeping while pregnant. I am in the first week of my third tri and can't do even normal things without it causing aches, pains, or exhaustion...</p> <p>So far I am healthy, and so is baby, but I will be so glad when this pregnancy is over! I told DH I'd like to seriously consider adoption next time... we'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1474143 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:12:18 +0000 Mae 1474143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I've had hot lunchmeat sandwiches, but they just are not as good as cold! And I really miss frozen yogurt/soft serve. Like, anyone else who wanted it I'd be like "omg its finnnnneeee" but I have this over-active guilt complex. Like if anything ever did go wrong, even weeks from now, I'd blame myself/the yogurt. Doesn't seem worth the internal drama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1473743 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:19:34 +0000 luckypenny 1473743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD, I enjoyed being pregnant, despite gaining 70 lbs! I had no complications and I wasn't working at the time so I could rest when I wanted. This pregnancy, however, has been miserable. I haven't even gained half of what I did with DD and I still have had no complications and have kept most of my energy up BUT....being pregnant with a toddler is hell. I'm exhausted and she has gotten me sick pretty much every other week since November. I'm just really grateful for grandmas :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1473727 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:17:22 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1473727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I felt this way both times. I think it was a combination of having my body out of control combined with constant worrying about the baby, although maybe it would have been different if it wasn't physically painful, not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1473706 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:14:38 +0000 spaniellove 1473706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Not gonna lie, at some point I've had lunch meat (although I requested it on the side and then microwaved it) and Pinkberry. I don't normally eat that stuff but it tasted so great just because I'm not supposed to have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1473682 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:10:16 +0000 Anagram 1473682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not love being pregnant. I also haven't loved my breastfeeding/pumping journey, so sadly...I feel like my body is still not "mine". I am looking forward to being able to stop EPing and REALLY getting my body back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1473653 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:03:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 1473653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mdf106: I think I'm still a little afraid to really bond with this baby. I'm hoping to have your experience: feeling better right away, and feeling connected quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1473611 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:58:29 +0000 mdf106 1473611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated being pregnant, but love being a mother. I did not have an especially bad pregnancy, but I was tired and stressed throughout, and working long hours. I did not feel a connection, until my baby was born, but then it was immediate. My body felt better immediately. It was totally worth it, and I intend to do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1470494 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:57:18 +0000 wonderstruck 1470494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I did ask and you are not a whiner! I was hoping seeing that others feel that way too could maybe help us all cut our self some slack. I know I really needed that during my first pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1470382 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:32:14 +0000 avivoca 1470382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: The meal after delivery was honestly the best meal of my life. A hamburger with the works, fries, ice cream, and a Speedway Freeze. DIVINE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1470377 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:31:13 +0000 avivoca 1470377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved pregnancy until the end. September was a busy month in events at work, and I had to work EVERY SINGLE ONE, including a 14 hour day and a public conference. My feet were huge. Someone got upset because I didn't get to the gate fast enough to take their money, and I told them, "I'm 37 weeks pregnant. I don't run ANYWHERE." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy/page/2#post-1470359 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:27:52 +0000 Mae 1470359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like it either, and I feel really badly about it. I am so grateful that I am pregnant, and I'm grateful that I'm having an "easy" pregnancy. I mean really-- I haven't thrown up, I haven't swollen, I have no real pain (so far, 31.5 weeks), I've had no bleeding or scares. I haven't even seen my doc outside of regularly scheduled appts except for one UTI. So I feel like man… I am such a whiner that I don't like being pregnant! (And I try not to say that to people, except you did ask so I will share… haha). </p> <p>I just feel weird. Even though I haven't been super sick I've felt "off" for most of the pregnancy and it's not super comfortable and it's stressful to be constantly worrying about every thing I put in my mouth, every fume I'm exposed to, etc. I know our LO is more than worth it but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super anxious to be done with the pregnant part and move on to the mom part already. (And also to eat a big lunchmeat sandwich and get some soft serve ice cream. With sprinkles). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy#post-1470270 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:08:18 +0000 Torchwood 1470270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, at 13 weeks I'm enjoying it. But thankfully it's been really easy, other than worries because of previous m/c's. We'll see how long that sticks. :) I did have a friend who HATED it, and she felt really guilty because of it. I felt bad about that, because I don't think there's anything to feel guilty about. It doesn't mean you're not grateful for the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy#post-1469995 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:13:15 +0000 LovelyPlum 1469995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I'm sure! Sounds glamorous :)</p> <p>@spaniellove: @runnerd: yeah, I *wanted* to be that super active pregnant person. I still think what activity I'm able to get in is beneficial, and I'm glad at the very least that I went in with the mentality that I should try to stay active. But my lofty goals very quickly became a pipe dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy#post-1469961 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:06:58 +0000 spaniellove 1469961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I was going to walk...try to run...do lots of prenatal yoga...nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy#post-1469952 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:05:27 +0000 wonderstruck 1469952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@polkadots: Haha, I totally cried when I watched that movie while pregnant for that exact reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-just-really-dislike-pregnancy#post-1469936 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:01:30 +0000 spaniellove 1469936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Oh I'm wearing a Home Depot-ish belt! Two, actually...one really wide stretchy one with a small sacroiliac belt layered over it!

I'm only half way and ready to not be pregnant. I just want our baby to be here, not going to miss the process of getting him though. </p>
