Wanted to get pregnant so bad, now that I am I’m miserable. Advice?

Question

I’m only 8 weeks and I absolutely hate being pregnant. I hate everything about it. I don’t feel like myself. I don’t enjoy anything. I’m always sick. How can I appreciate this pregnancy? I wanted it so bad now I’m fighting myself just to keep the baby....

Answer

The first trimester can be really rough, but it gets better. If you're feeling depressed you can talk to your OB, they can help ❤

Answer

I was the same way , got my morning sickness at 6 weeks exactly and it started fading away at now 10 weeks , I couldn’t eat or drink anything couldn’t take my prenatals because it made it worse so I stopped taking those , went to the ER for dehydration. Puked about 6 times a day . First trimester is the absolute worse and it might seem like it’ll never end . Try the BRAT diet it helped me a lot !

Answer

I felt the same exact way at 8 weeks. I promise it will pass🙏🏽 hang in there!

Answer

It's okay to want a baby but hate being pregnant. I actually enjoyed my labour more than I enjoyed pregnancy haha! You will feel like crap, but the kicks and second trimester are amazing. 
My sister terminated her pregnancy because she didnt like who got her pregnant and she massively regrets it. Getting a termination for any reason other than you not wanting a baby is a bad idea. 
No one can tell you what to do with your body, but remember being a mum and having a baby will be for a lifetime, and feeling crap while pregnant will pass.

Answer

Do not get rid of the baby. I felt this way too and unfortunately I ended up terminating. It is the most guilt and regret I’ve ever felt in my life. It made me go insane and completely ruined me. It’s now 9 months later and I’m still not doing well. I ended up getting pregnant again because it was the only way I could find a reason to keep living. The first trimester is terrible but the second is great. You feel relatively normal. Talk to your doctor about this and see if she has any advice but whatever you do, don’t terminate.

Answer

The first trimester is honestly the worst.
I feel that way with every pregnancy. As your belly grows and you start to feel baby move it will get better

Answer

Once you start feeling kicks and the nausea goes down it will be more bearable. I hated being pregnant not being able to do anything normally, puking Everytime I ate and even when I hadn't just puking up water in the morning, peeing every 30 minutes, tossing and turning all night unable to sleep, sex life plummeted, no energy, clothes don't fit. There's so much to hate about pregnancy and it's completely normal to not enjoy it but after she started kicking and I got to see her on ultrasound at her anatomy scan, all the crappy stuff didn't bother me as much because I could feel my little girl growing inside me and Everytime I felt a kick it made me smile and assured me she was safe. Seeing her on the ultrasound I cried (happy tears of course) and now that I've had her even with all the pain and discomfort of pregnancy and childbirth ( I tore so was very uncomfortable recovery) I don't regret any of it. She is worth every second of nausea, pain and discomfort and I look forward to giving her a sibling even knowing how crappy pregnancy will be. My nausea never went away I was nauseous and vomiting up until the day I gave birth. It will all be worth it just keep reminding yourself of that. Also eat frequently throughout the day don't ever go too long between eating because going too long only makes the nausea worse, drink lots of water and for me atleast sitting around all day just made me feel crappier I always felt better up and doing stuff. Congratulations on your LO

Answer

You’re just in the 1st trimester. I don’t know if you did your research but what you’re experiencing is normal. It gets better after.

Answer

It usually gets better! Weeks 6-12 are not very fun. Try to keep your blood sugar up- that will help with the nausea.

Answer

I went through that in the first trimester. Had horrible sickness, I felt like I was always by the toilet. I could barely stay awake past 7pm and me and my so always got into fights because I was so hormonal. I was also very bloated so my self confidence went down. It’ll pass I promise. I thought it would never end, but in the second trimester it gets easier. Some days are still hard though. But it’ll all be worth it❤️
