Anyone else not enjoying pregnancy?

Question

I am thankful, and so happy that I am carrying this little man, but I wish I could just have him already! 
People keep telling me to enjoy it, this is my third pregnancy, i didn’t enjoy the last two either, I love my babies though. Is it so awful to wish it went quicker?

Answer

You aren’t bad at all. Growing a person inside you is exhausting and painful.

Answer

Feel the same way. “Oh there are ppl out there who can’t get pregnant. Be grateful.” Yes I know, but that doesn’t make my feelings invalid either. I hate pregnancy. I’ve had HG with every other pregnancy. The only reason I even continue to put myself through this much hell is because I love the end result. A child.

Answer

I actually thought of this last night. It's not that I'm 'not' enjoying it... I just see my friends have their first babies recently and I'm so ready to have that too. I feel like this last month has drug by and I'm just now starting to feeling good movement. So I really am ready to have my little guy here with us and be done with pregnancy.

Answer

This pregnancy has been so much harder than my first and I’m seriously ready for it to be over. Also thankful that I’m growing my little man but also wish he was here already. You’re not alone! ❤️

Answer

I am right there with you! I am beyond excited for this little guy to get here, but am totally over the pregnancy. I still have morning sickness at 23 weeks, can’t sleep, always tired, and have extremely painful kidney stones! It’s been a really rough 5 months and I can’t wait for it to be over. That doesn’t mean I love my little guy any less, I’m just ready to feel normal again so I can take care of baby and go a day without puking!!

Answer

yes. I feel awful about it. I haven't even had morning sickness or anything. But I still am not enjoying it. It's only my 1st. Everyone keeps telling me I'm gonna miss it but I'm not sure if I want to have another anyone because of how much I've been annoyed with pregnancy

Answer

I’m with you!! This is my 4th pregnancy(have one son, had two early miscarriages) and I just don’t enjoy it. I know I’m lucky and I feel grateful to be having a healthy baby, but I wish it would be June 4th already! Don’t feel bad about it. I know many women who feel the same!

Answer

Who says you have to like being pregnant?  Some people enjoy it and good for them, but that doesn't mean everyone has to.  I'm on my second; didn't enjoy it the first time, don't enjoy it this time.  The general woes of pregnancy aside, (which aren't my idea of fun anyway) I play semi contact sports so when I'm pregnant I'm forced to ride the bench.  It's a big part of my personality/self identity so pregnancy is a very difficult time for me, physically AND mentally.  Counting down the weeks til 6 weeks pp when I can get back out there!
