I think that some woman get very selfish when they are pregnant....I have known several woman that when they get pregnant they are selfish they make it sound as if they are the only ones that have been pregnat....I think that we all have our problems in pregnancy..so why do some woman need so much attention and want everyone to feel sorry for them when they are they are pregnant...They seem to need everyones attention and sympathy even when they have morning sickness, or just didnt get enough sleep. And this pattern seems to get worse the more children that they have.....Yes I have children I have 4 so I have been there I understand that every pregnant woman needs a little more attention when she is pregnant but when is enough...When is enough is enough??? I am just looking for opinions if any one else feels the same way...Thanks for your opinions.

I understand that every woman is different...but my first baby I did by myself and I had a full time job....The second baby my husband was over the road driving.....The third baby my husband was around and helped as much as he could and I had alot of health problems with him...And with my last baby I got pregnant when my third child was only three months old so I know that pregnancy can be hard but once again when is enough enough.

i think that some pregnant woman need to appreciate that they can carry full term. i have had just the oposite probelm i have lost 3 pregnancies 1 to a miscarriage and a twin pregnancy to do a tubal. some woman need to realize there are people out there who try there damnest to have children do everything right and still lost their babies. i have seen many people deny their child of prenatel care, out there drinking, doing many things that endanger their unborn yet they have healthy normal babies. then sit and yell about having them. all woman who carry full term need to realize that they have something that many won't get a chance to ever have. i have a sister in law who is only 4 months with twins who is fighting to hold them in. but not one day have i ever heard her sit there and say oh pity me all that she wants is to have her babies healthy and survive. children are a blessing not a pawn or a playing card in anything. i'm sorry if i come off strong but i look at all the pregnant woman and sit here and wonder why they can have something i will never have and then complain about having the blessing. enjoy your pregnancy well you can. i did the best choice for me after i found out why i can't carry i decided to not try again and learn to live with it. cuz i know that if i do get pregnant i will be on bedrest from the day the test is positive till that baby cames and not only that my body can still reject that child at any givin moment. that is not fair to a unborn.

I honestly think maybe you're taking it the wrong way. Every pregnant person deals with differences in pregnancy. I think when you go through so much (pregnancy is a huge deal), you think what you're going through is worse than anyone else. I know what you mean about it being annoying and all of that but I can completely understand it. No one has any idea what it's like for the other person. My pregnancy was pretty wonderful but during labor I had a very hard time. Of course I wanted people to know that and yes, I think it was EXTREMELY hard. But you can't sit there and say it isn't because you have no idea what the other woman has been thorugh. I don't think most women are really trying to get sympathy or attention (although, there are some out there), I think they truely believe what they went through is traumatic because they don't know any better....

I'll agree with you that pregnant women do act selfish and I'll tell you that through my pregnancy I was one of those who was selfish. I'm a new mother with a baby born in Jan. '07 and while I was pregnant my hormones were all over the place and it was a new and sometimes scary experience for me. Thank God for a supporting family and loving boyfriend who were always there for me when I needed them no matter how selfish I got. When I have another child maybe I wont be so selfish since I'll know what to expect at times of pregnancy.

I think it is mostly because they do want someone to feel sry for them. Pregnacy differs between every woman and sometimes they just need to tell everyone how they are feeling so that those emotions aren't bottled up inside.
I think it's mostly just the hormons going through there bodies like how some cry at the littlest things. (I remember crying over a toothpaste comercial =\) I do agree that sometimes some women do go over board on the whole thing but most times they are just doing it because it feels to them that no one is paying attention to them. I think it is just there way of saying "Hey look at me I am pregnate!"
I think due to the fact that some of them are depressed from the lows and highs of the hormone surges in there system just sometimes need someone to sympatize with them so that they can feel better about themselves.

wow that's a bit harsh!! I'm having baby # 5 and its killing me, i wouldn't say I'm looking for more attention just a little more understanding
i think its worse when you have more than 1 child already because its hard to think of yourself and the baby when you have a family to look after and seem to be on the go 24/7.
it sounds like you were lucky and coped better than some of us but also remember every pregnancy is different this has been my worse, but i really don't think it makes me an attention seeker!!

Pregnancy pampering becomes like a drug. My first to pregnancies I was the only one caring for me so I just got on with it. With my third son my hubby spoiled me and I found myself asking for every little thing even if I could do it myself, just because I liked being pampered.

Because giving birth to a child is a very important event for most women and the concern is actually about the survival of her infant. It must be nerve wrecking, I am glad I have a penis.

I now reserve the right to be selfish during my pregnancy :)
Well,some women are anal,and do things they shouldn't,but I think it is every woman's right to use her husband as a man slave,at least for a while,I mean I think passing a 10 pound baby through a tiny hole should get you something good.,but maybe that's just me.

I can't stand them. I've been going through a rough pregnancy this time around and I like to keep the details of it to myself. Because honestly complaining about it won't do a thing in helping it.
