Hating being pregnant?

Question

Before I start please don't be rude or hateful. This is something I am honestly having a really, really hard time with right now.
I've had 2 miscarriages, and was told for years I'd never be able to conceive naturally. Now here I am, with 6 years of infertility under my belt, pcos, and a fibroid tumor... In my second trimester. But I'm hating every second of it. I'm hating my body changing, I hate the way I feel, I hate crying all the time, I hate being a single mom, I hate that I can't sleep, I hate that I can't eat what I want or smoke a cig. The dad left me bc i would not abort but now treats me like dirt, but yet he won't just sign his rights away and dip out. I honestly have not enjoyed being pregnant for one day. And its just disappointing to the point where I just cry all the time because I feel so guilty. I wanted this for so long. Prayed and begged for it. Now it's here and I absolutely hate being pregnant. I never want to do it again. 
Is there something wrong with me :( 
I love my child, and I can't wait for him or her to be here... But I wish I could just sleep until my due date. I just don't love this.

Answer

I had 2 miscarriages and am now pregnant (33w3d) with a little baby girl. The father of my baby left when I was in my second trimester (he had problems with drugs and relapsed) before he left, he was mentally abusive and even has put his hands on me. It was hard to actually enjoy my pregnancy and became depressed. Try to stay focused on that beautiful little blessing you are carrying. If you hate being pregnant, its not forever. You will get through this. I've become so much stronger these past few weeks. Talk to people, there are resources out there to help you. Talk to your ob if you think you're depressed. if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Praying for you!

Answer

You are right. This is totall BS.  Haven't even hit the hard times, and I am totally annoyed at 20 weeks.  I am always sweating. Unless I am in the shower, sweating. Put on deordorant and it seems to amp up the sweating. If I put on socks, my feet sweat. I got up Saturday, took a shower, dressed for yoga and went to class. 20 minutes in I can't stand the smell of . . . Myself. Sweating all over.

I have acne on my butt. 
I drool
I cry. 
I snore. I snore and wake myself up snoring. This morning my snoring woke me up AND then I split my lip open just lying in bed because no amount of water is the right amount. Not with all this drooling and sweating. 
The beginnings of pregnancy mask are showing on my cheek. 
I blow my nose all the time. I ran of of tissues so my husband put rolls of toilet paper in bed. My sinuses are always full. 
My nipples are sensitive to wind. 
Oh lord the headaches.

And what medication or supplement might help relieve any of this?? NOTHING. Nothing is safe but time.

I am still waiting for my luxurious hair to grow in. Twice I was told I had the "glow" but I had put on so much makeup it weighed me down.

And just imagine what is happening to my digestive tract.

This is BS. Where are the unicorns and rainbows? I swear if this had been happening to men for centuries, they would have solved this shit.

Answer

Pregnancy isn't for everyone and a lot of woman absolutely hate being pregnant. Every pregnancy is different so who are we to judge you for feeling a certain way. Nobody but you knows how you feel and what you're going through. You just have to think of the end and be stronger than your own thoughts and surroundings. Think of that beautiful little life that you are creating and that will come to be with you once it's all over. That you will unconditionally and vice versa. It's a hard journey but I know you can do it. We are women, were brave and strong. You are putting yourself through hell for your little one and that's what you have to remind yourself of. You're doing it for him/her. Thats all that matters. I know you'll be okay, keep your head up darling.❤️

Answer

I tell you one thing, for being so miserable and pregnant I commend you for STILL continuing the pregnancy, STILL staying away from cigarettes. At the end you notice, you're doing what's best for the baby and you NOT wanting to be pregnant doesn't make you a horrible person. I'm single and pregnant also. I've wanted this forever also. I do love being pregnant but there isn't a rule that says you HAVE to be happy about it. Just try to look at the positive things and it'll fly by because I swear mine has. You won't be pregnant forever and you never have to do it again. It's all about getting through it. You've got this!

I went through those feelings too with my first . I know how it feels.  I got pregnant at 17 single mom because I wouldn't abort.  I am now expecting #2 and yes a single mom and maybe you hate it because you're scared ? Idk but I hope those feelings change . I Noe absolutely love being a single mom.  My life is revolved around my kids.  I hope things brighten for you.

I had one miscarriage last July. I'm 29+4 now. And I'm ready for my daughter to get here. Sometimes I don't like being pregnant because of all the extra things that come with it like feeling sick or exhausted. But I'm thankful God blessed me with the baby girl I always wanted. I think it just comes from feeling your uterus being stretched all day every day and it doesn't make it better when the baby is comfortable but you aren't lol

Answer

Don't you dare be hard on yourself. Your body is changing and hormones are at an all time high sometimes it makes you feel all sorts of ways my baby's dad also left me. This is not something I ever thought I would have to do alone. Being scared of change is nothing to be ashamed of. But just know that you are strong and that's the universe chose you to be mommy to that little one in your tummy it's a beautiful thing and I promise the sleepless nights and everything else your dealing with will all be worth it in the end. Trust me your not alone. Pls don't hesitate to contact me if you're feeling lonely. Trust me I'm right there with you!

Answer

Being pregnant is the pits. I tell everyone I'm not sure if this little girl is ever gonna get a sibling because I don't wanna have to do this crap again. I can't drink, I can't smoke, I can't stand for too long, I can't sit for too long, I can't crack my back, or eat pizza without regretting it for hours later, I can't take medicine if I get sick, I can't pick anything up off the floor...it's pretty much the most prolonged least pleasant thing I've ever willingly put myself through. I was over it months ago. You're not abnormal for hating it. I don't trust moms who say they loved being pregnant (my mom is one of them). I'm so sorry about your circumstances. I can't even imagine what you're going through with extra emotional turmoil on top of the pregnancy ordeal, just try to stay strong and keep your eyes on the finish line (which will hopefully come equipped with a drink and a smoke, eh?) Much love to you, you've got this!

Answer

I definitely did not enjoy pregnancy, but it hasn't changed how much I love my baby now that he here.
It can be totally normal to not like being pregnant but it can also be a sign of pre natal depression, I would mention how you're feeling to your doctor xx

Answer

O sweet heart you are not alone, my first pregnancy I got pregnant on a one night drunkin stand, when I was pregnant I hated it, I was alone, I was sad, I hated that the guy didn't want shit to do with his baby... I just wanted the pregnancy part over asap!  I wanted to stop my growing belly I wanted the push her out lol! All I wanted was for that part to end and my baby be here to hold and comfort. I gave birth alone and I recovered alone....after she was here I was sooooo much happier, even though I was still raising a kid alone I knew that part I could handle...and I did..5 yeats later i still work 10 hours days to make sure she has everything she needs without her peice of shit fathers help...you are not alone!
