Enjoying Pregnancy?

Question

So it seems like everyone's posts are filled with positive and euphoric feelings towards their pregnancy. Is there anyone out there that isn't enjoying this whole process (1st trimester wooziness and sickness aside)?

Answer

I have to be honest. I am not enjoying this pregnancy thing. I don't feel like myself at all. Not one bit. I pretty much have a negative attitude toward everything (the polar opposite of what I'm normally like) and hate the feeling and seeing myself gaining weight. Everyone I have talked to says to just enjoy it or it is what it is (which I 100% agree with), but I really am struggling to do just that. The thought that I have 5 more months like this is agonizing. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the end result, but there has got to be a better way of getting though this process. Anyone have any tips that are not "just enjoy it!"?

Answer

The first trimester was SO rough for me. I had horrible 24/7 nausea, my body was not my own, I cried constantly, I was mean and hateful, I was an emotional WRECK. But every day was still a blessing after suffering a miscarriage last October. A few weeks into my second trimester I started to feel better, even though I still take stuff daily for nausea. I just started feeling kicks this past Saturday at 17 weeks and it's made it that much better.

I have some days I like it and some days I don't. Im 28 weeks today so I don't have too much longer. But I'm super moody, (doesn't help my job is stressful and we're building a house) hormonal, snappy, feeling huge(I was my biggest when I got pregnant), the fact that she's so low and it hurts almost 24/7 and just plain tired. But the one thing I do love is every night when I lay down I get to feel her move and it truly is an amazing feeling. I can't wait to be done being pregnant and have my baby in my arms!

This first and last trimester I heard are the hardest I'm in my third now and I'm no where how I was my first of course birth will be hard but I'm grateful to not feel like I did my first .. It was annoying to hear everyone say it'll get better but now I understand and I'm sayin it to u..it's not easy to bare a child and I'm sure people before us had it much worse.. Bananas and exercising even jus walking helps a lot.

Answer

I hated it until I hit 21 weeks,and started feeling kicks.

Answer

Being pregnant is a blessing but i can't deny i am getting emotionally frustated with the changes that my body is making.. I don't feel beautiful.. My Hubby told me You are looking like an aunty now... Your face looks big... This has made me worry. I don't like seeing myself in mirror.. But i want my baby bump to show soon.. Losing lots of hair, probably will be bald by the end of pregnancy.. Blackheads not only on my face but my bum and back.. Pimples all over my face.. Headache all day.. Emotionally drained.. On pelvic rest.. Want to get intimate but when we try i feel like vomiting.. Not enjoying anything.. Can't have my bike rides, can't run, can't jump, can't go to amusement park,can't do this, can't eat this, can't go anywhere, staying put in the house all along as if i am on house arrest... Feels like a prisoner..
Feels good to share it.. Can't even say this to someone without being judge..
But being pregnant is a blessing..
I hope this gets over soon and get to hold my baby..
