who's with me?? 11 weeks to go and I can't take anymore... I cry all the time.... my face is breaking out... I have to take a 3 hour glucose test and i HATE NEEDLES!!! I didn't sign up for this... guess I should've researched some before I did it! I just want to feel normal again. Everything from the smell of my armpits to the hair on my legs has changed and I just DESPISE IT! I long to have atleast 2 kids, but I don't know if I can do this again. Does anyone else feel like this, too or am I nuts??

AMEN SISTER!!! I am 28 weeks and am TIRED of being pregnant (but I'm not really ready for the baby to be here yet either! hehe).
My back hurts, I have acid reflux, I can't see my feet, I'm starting to waddle, I have cankles, my fingers are swollen and I can't wear my wedding ring, I have the WORST acne, I can't see my crotch, my baby kicks me all the time and wakes me up constantly....I'm sick and tired of being pregnant!!! I want to eat sushi and have a nice glass of wine...I miss having a waist and not having to wear granny panties!! I thought I would enjoy pregnancy but I DON"T....just like you I want more kids...but now I'm seriously contemplating if I can do this again. What makes it worse is that everyone keeps telling me how much worse it's going to get (since I'm only 28 weeks)
Pregnancy is ROUGH...hang in there, girl! I'm right there with you!

You're not nuts for feeling this way. Pregnancy isn't always a fun experience but in a few short weeks you will have your baby and somehow all the bad stuff vanishes and you only remember the good. Like you, I had a horrible 1st pregnancy and I could not imagine ever having a second child, but I did. The second one was not at all like the first one. I even tried to have a third child. Hang in there. The end is coming soon and it will be worth everything you have gone through. Promise.

Well said! I am now 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant and got sick of this pregnancy at about 30 weeks. I started having huge pelvic pain and cramping and was told I was at a high risk of preterm labour. I had to stop work and be on low activity. I have been having this pelvic pain ever since and now am still waiting for baby to come...so much for preterm labour. I complain all the time to my husband. I don't understand why the heck people love being pregnant. I hate it! I love the fact that I will be a mommy soon and cannot wait to see my son, but call me selfish too but I cannot wait to have my body back again. Good luck to you girl!

yeah, i hear you. i know i shouldn't be complaining yet. i'm not even 2 months. but last week, i felt slightly nauseous, threw up just one night, i cried 2 days in a row, i didn't want to be around anybody, and i had no interest at all in sex. i've felt that i've pushed the my fiance away a little bit and i didn't even want him to touch me at all. and i'm still scared about having a baby. which i haven't been feeling naeous in a couple of days really and i feel better than i did last week. but last week, i really didn't want to be pregnant anymore. i'm glad that i'm not feeling quite as naeous as i was, and i don't want to feel that way again. i hate getting sick. but the sickness might not be over with yet. and then i know the inevitable is coming, i have to give birth in about 8 more months. i'm trying not to worry about that anymore and just relax and say everything will be alright. i just relaxed last time i felt naeous at night, instead of going to the bathroom in case i throw up, and just layed down and relaxed and a few minutes later i was fine and the naesea passed. so maybe it would help you if you just relax and try not to worry and just know this time that you're pregnant will go by really fast cause alot of times, time does go by fast. and yeah, last week, i thought after i have this baby, i'm not having any more kids. well i originally wanted 5, but now i'd think i'd settle for no more than 3, if i can get through the rest of these months.

I'd like to be able to tell you that in 11 weeks you'll be back to normal but that would be a lie.
My sisters were never the same once they gave birth, they both STILL have medical problems that they never had before the pregnancies. Your hair is going to stay the way it is now, possibly become a little more dark and coarse.
Eat nutritiously, stay on vitamins, and take care of yourself.

Don't worry, baby, you are ok. I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my first one and for the last few months I've been having crises pretty often. All the changes and strange sensations plus two jobs plus final year of my master's - that was too much to handle at times. Thank goodness, my beloved one has always been there for me to help me, soothe me and tell me how gorgeous I am :)
Best to you and your baby.

I absolutely agree with you, I'm 34 weeks and am wondering how in the world I can possibly make it 6 more, but I know I will :) Take a deep breath and relax, your baby needs you and you will make it through. Good luck!

I loved being pregnant. I looked horrible and felt worse at times, but the knowledge that my wonderful little baby was growing inside me made me the happiest woman in the world. Every little movement I felt from her gave me a renewed sense of wonder and excitement.

I think you are normal. There is no one right way to feel. I am 32 weeks and I am at the end of my rope. I have tons of medical problems with this pregnancy and my husband and family has pretty much abandoned me. I feel so alone!!!
