Pregnancy is absolutely the worst thing I’ve done so far. And no, I’m not sorry I feel this way. Pregnancy is not beautiful. What I am creating is beautiful, but pregnancy itself is not. Don’t take this as I am not excited about my baby or that I am not grateful for the ability to have children. I lost my first one. I know the pain. I also know not all women experience this. My sister was never sick and never had any symptoms. Worst part for her was labor. I am currently 26+2 weeks. I was sick for months! It went away last month but it’s creeping back up on me. Everything hurts. My back, my hips, my head, my feet, my legs. Even my wrists because of the carpal tunnel syndrome the pregnancy has caused. I hate how I look even though I have actually lost weight since being pregnant. I am always tired no matter how much or how little sleep I get. I forget everything, we spent two hours looking for the car keys last night after driving for 3 hours to get back home from a football game where I bout killed myself going up and down stairs. Turned it they were where I had put them, they had just fallen. I feel bad for my husband because I have had little patience since being pregnant and I get mad about everything. As his friend has stated, I am a category 4 hurricane followed by a category 3. Also I have no bond with my bump and I find it weird to talk to him in my belly. Pregnancy sucks for all these reasons and more. I know in the end it will all be worth it to see my little man’s adorable squishy little face and I can not wait until that day. If anyone else is feeling his way I want you to know that it’s ok and you are not alone. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for thinking and feeling this way because it’s more normal than people let on. It doesn’t make you selfish or ungrateful. You don’t feel well and that just makes you human. So tell anyone who makes you feel bad about it that they can go suck a toe because they aren’t going through what you are going through. Even if they are or have been pregnant too. All women experience pregnancy differently and we should not be ashamed that we feel miserable. So feel miserable, cry, eat a pint of ice cream and go about your day how you want. It’s your life and your baby and no one else can tell you how to feel. Just know that it doesn’t last forever and in the end you get a beautiful little version of you that will make you happier than you ever thought possible.
