Why is pregnancy so difficult?!?

Question

I am only 13 weeks pregnant, and I'm tired of all this. Tired of having to pee all the time, tired of having to drink water all the time, tired of going to the bathroom all the time, tired of having to take vitamins, tired of having to eat because If I don't eat, I'll get sick. It's just so much. Oh and the constant nausea.

And I know it's just going to get harder. Jeeze. 
What can I do to relax and get through this period better? I am happy to have my baby, but I am a first time mom and this can be overwhelming.

Thanks!

Answer

The only thing that will make this easier is focusing on the life your body is creating. Try not to focus on all the bad. Yes, pregnancy is hard as hell and is mentally, physically and emotionally draining. But, that little heartbeat inside of you should make it all worth it. Count your blessings.

Answer

It actually gets better before it gets worse. 2nd trimester will be decent! I'm 39 weeks now and absolutely miserable but I'm hauling around a full grown baby, so it just hurts. Enjoy all the symptoms, even the crappy ones, it'll fly by and only be a memory soon!

Your post sums everything up perfectly. Granted im only 4weeks 4days but ifeel the same as you. I love the fadt im having a baby but man it is a lot of work

Answer

I agree it is massively overwhelming. I am so so happy to be 17weeks pregnant with my 4th pregnancy. I've suffered 3 previous first trimester MC's but from about week 6-13 I was struggling massively. I had to take progesterone pessaries every night and I started to really struggle with this as I was so so tired and all I wanted to do was sleep and I've been so constipated and I still am. I had days when I felt so bad for feeling like this and often worried that God would punish me but I love my baby more than anything else in this world, it's just been a little harder than I thought :)

Answer

Stay busy? Haha sounds like a crap idea, but do anything to keep your mind off of things. Get into a routine, and pray the hard days go by quickly. Good luck to you!
