Can I vent without being judged?

Question

I need to start off by saying that it took my husband and I 5 years to get pregnant...so don't get me wrong, this pregnancy is a pure blessing. I am beyond grateful to be pregnant and love this baby already. But I need to vent. HOW THE HECK DO WOMEN HAVE MORE THAN ONE BABY? I am miserable!!! Lmao!! I am only 22 weeks and my body hurts. Each night I get 2-4 leg cramps that wake me up with a searing pain. When I finally wake up in the morning it feels like the first hour of the day I am walking on rocks! My feet kill me! I keep gaining weight. I am always sweating. It's been in the mid 90's every day since mid May and it kills me. I cannot tolerate the heat anymore. Not to mention I don't ever want to bend over anymore... LOL this is hard you guys!!!!! Anyone else struggling?

Answer

Honestly you forget a lot of the aches and pains and sickness after baby is here and over time. I say to my husband a lot "I don't remember this with DD or DS pregnancy and he'll tell me "you felt xyz with them too". I just don't remember I guess. But yeah, I feel pretty miserable now. I'm 35w 3d and feel huge.

Answer

I completely feel you on this! I’m blessed and grateful for this pregnancy (my first) but I’m over it!!! I don’t understand how some women LOVE being pregnant. Ive been in so much pain since week 5 and I’m currently 23 weeks. Idk how I’m going to make it to week 40! Again, I’m grateful and feel horrible about complaining but OMG! lol

Answer

I feel your pain. This pregnancy has been pretty awful. This baby was planned and honestly, there have been times I wondered why I wanted this so badly. I know in the end when I hold my baby girl that most will be forgotten and everything would have been worth it. I hope the rest of your pregnancy speeds by and you’re able to find some relief from your discomforts.

Answer

I feel ya! I hate it so much but I am very excited for baby to arrive.

Answer

Because it is all so worth it when baby is in your arms. And then when you're absolutely exhausted and overwhelmed with a newborn you will wonder it again. Then give it a few more months and when you can sleep again and baby is here and growing up way too fast you'll want to do it all over again 😂 My little girl is 1 month old and I already want to do it again even though day 2 home from the hospital I told my husband this was too much (we also have a 7 year old and a just-shy-of-2 year old) and we were done, even though we were planning on 4. We'll see about that.
