Hate pregnancy but love your child(ren)?

Question

During or even after, did you hate being pregnant? Even though you love your kid(s) more than life, was their formation equivalent to hell for you? Just curious as a friend of mine told me that she absolutely despised being pregnant and if she never had to do it again it would be too soon. But her chubby little 2 year old is the sweetest, funniest, sassiest thing ever! Lol.

Answer

There are so many things to love about pregnancy. The intimacy with my husband, the love and joy from friends, feeling her move, sharing that with her siblings... But let's be honest. There's plenty that sucks. Nausea, heartburn, constipation, sore bones, stuffy nose, insomnia, breathlessness, mood swings, leg cramps, sore boobs, and of course labor and delivery. Pregnancy is like a long, slow malaise culminating in a marathon of anguish, topped off with an adorable prize of sleeplessness and anxiety for the rest of your life. And then your baby has a kid and the worry multiplies. Lol.

Answer

I loved my first pregnancy but this one has been awful and I can't wait for this to be over and just have my little girl!

Answer

I HATE being pregnant . I'm enduring it for the second time because I'm so desperate for my child to have a sibling but then I'm done. Both times I've been so sick for so long none of this first trimester sickness bollocks 😭
But my daughter is my WORLD ... thus the reason I'll endure it one for time so she can have a brother or sister

Answer

Yep. I hated being pregnant. From the constant nausea to the chronic pain from SPD. It was a nightmare. My daughter is the best thing I've ever done though

Answer

It's not that I hate it as much as I'm not enjoying at all the first trimester. This is my first pregnancy so I had no idea morning sickness was as bad as this when I heard women complain. This is no joke. I had food sitting in my tummy for hours. The agony of it sitting there and having to keep eating not to get sick and feed your growing child. Then after about 5 hours you throw up everything you ate and drank and more (digestive acids). Sorry tmi, but it's he true. This is not fun and I'm hoping it will pass with the beginning of second trimester as soon as the placenta takes over. Or at least that's what I keep hearing. So if you ask me now if I'd do it all over again, right now, I'd say... to have my dream child yes. But next time I will definitely adopt. And luckily hubby is on board with that. Can't wait to hold my little one though... I love him/her so much already!! ❤

Answer

I love my pregnancy so far! (Second trimester) - except for today lol I'm experiencing more issues and pain, I just broke down today! And on my husband's birthday no less!!🙈 ugh- my pregnancy has been quite easy though for me. No morning sickness whatsoever, but oh boy, the back pain and exhaustion, along with the emotional outbursts... I'm not sure how hubby handles me so well😂😂

Answer

We have deciddd that this will be our last child because of how awful pregnancy is for me. I honestly do not think that my body is meant to bare children. 
From week five to week 15 I was so insanely sick that I ended up in the hospital five times for dehydration. I literally couldn't stand from being so weak. I would sleep in the bathroom or with a trash can beside my bed. After that it was dizzy spells and losing my breath non stop. I could barely make it up our stairs to the bedroom. Then it was migraines. Awful migraines. I couldn't have lights on or hear anything at all. I stayed in the dark with ice on my head. Then insomnia. Ugh I didn't sleep for weeks. Now it's pain, everywhere. And contractions any time I try to do anything. Even getting up to pee. Speaking of peeing, I peed three times in ten minutes last night while trying to sleep. 
Pregnancy just isn't for me.
