I can't be the only one not enjoying pregnancy?

Question

Surly I can't be? I loved being pregnant with my first. But this one seems to be dragging, I'm not enjoying feeling the baby move, I just feel like this makes me a bad parent. I've had enough already. At times I feel so ungrateful for being blessed with another child and this whole experience..

To add to this I'm fed up of being told I'm being over sensitive and hating my partner, his attitude and tone of his voice is just unreasonable. Just don't see the point as he hardly talks to me right now and when I try to make conversation I just wish I hadn't bothered, as it seems all he does is snap or seems like he can't be bothered to talk to me.

I'm trying to juggle looking after my 3 year old and working, and when she goes to bed I just want to chill, have a cuddle and some adult conversation, but all he seems to be arsed doing is being on his phone and watching YouTube videos!

Answer

Not enjoying pregnancy does not make you a bad parent. Not everyone has an enjoyable pregnancy every single time. My daughter is three now, but I absolutely hated being pregnant. My feet were unrecognizable and super painful, my tailbone hurt all the time and I could barely sit, or stand for that matter, I had a rash that felt like the fires of hell torturing me every day, etc. it was terrible! But, I'm a pretty damn good mom and I know that negative feelings about pregnancy don't mean I'm a bad mom. As far as your spouse, it sounds like you both just need to talk about things and how everything is making you feel and how he is feeling and just listen to each other's feelings with the goal of resolving whatever resentment is between you at this point. And if you really need to, don't be afraid to go to couples counseling, it could really help.

Answer

I really liked being pregnant. Sure I had pains, but once I accepted that I had to maneuver differently than before, it really wasn't that bad. I want to be pregnant again. 😩

Answer

I'm with you there. This pregnancy has me eating only pretzels. Anything meat, I will get so nauseous, I might vomit. I cry at times because I can't eat the foods that I used to love eating. This pregnancy is the worse feeling I've had in my life. But, I know in the end, it will be worth it.

Answer

When I was pregnant with my first I just couldn't wait to not be pregnant again. I hated it, every bit of it. With my second & third (twins) I was extremely ill; vomited constantly and everything made me nauseas. I miscarried my twins at 12 weeks. I will never complain about being pregnant again and I would give anything to have them back. I know it's hard, but really try to remember how amazing it will be when your little one is here, and how amazing your body is. Big hugs ❤️.

Answer

I hated being pregnant most of the time I was extremely nauseated and later on in my pregnancy he kept blocking my kidneys from emptying into my bladder causing my kidney to swell and having excruciating pain on my side couldn't sleep because I would wake up bathed in sweat or was in pain or in the bathroom feeling sick all night but I love my baby he means the world to me
