Do you hate being pregnant?

Question

So far I HATE being pregnant. I feel so sick all day. I don't even feel like leaving the house.
Am I the only person in the world that hates being pregnant?

Answer 1

You haven't felt him/ her kick yet, have you?

Answer 2

I think it depends how far along you are and what symptoms you have had and it sounds like you have most of them so I can completely understand why you hate it. I am starting to feel the same way you do but I am 29 weeks now and I have had a really easy pregnancy with no morning sickness or backache (up until now). The part I hate the most is sitting at a party and being the only sober person in the room while my husband uses the fact that I have to be sober to get completely trashed because I can drive. I also hate the fact that I have now got a fat stomach (it used to be the only thin part of me and now I just look like a rolly polly man). If you are still in your first trimester just remember that it does get a bit better but then it goes downhill again when you hit your third (at least this is how it is for me).

Answer 3

No , you're not the only person who feels that way. At the beginning I always hate my husband for doing this to me, and wonder what the hell I was thinking. It passes though, the nausea really makes it suck and being tired all the time doesn't help either. Not to mention the hormones bouncing all over the place make me nuttier than usual. This pregnancy my nausea lasted longer than usual but it finally passed. I feel much better and haven't gained as much weight this pregnancy because of it. Which I think is great because it's all baby and will be easier to get back into my old jeans afterwards. There's a positive to every angle you just have to find it. Good luck!

Answer 4

i'm pregnant with my 2nd kid and when i found out about this one all i could do is get depressed cuz i remember how much i HATED being pregnant before. The backaches, the morning sickness, the fatigue or and the shotty memory just to name a few. Trust me, you arent alone. i thought i was alone at first but you're not. Dont let anyone make you feel guilty or bad for feeling this way. Its a rough time for some women the whole 9 mos... Just keep reminding yourself of the end result - a beautiful and (hopefully) healthy baby that will love you!

Answer 5

I'm feeling a little like that at the moment I'm almost 9 weeks with my forth baby and its not easy to cope when you feel sick all the time i don't want to get out of bed some days as i no as soon as i move about ill feel sick
but trust me it will get better when you hit the second trimester you should be feeling a whole lot better and once you have that first scan you will see its all worth it in the end

try some peppermint tea that will help settle your stomach when you feeling sick (works for me)

good luck i hope your feeling better soon xx

Answer 6

First trimester was pretty horrible. Then things got better at 23-24 weeks when I started showing, and morning sickness was a thing of the past, and could feel the baby kick, and felt more like myself.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore and start being a mother.

Answer 7

The first time I was pregnant I hated feeling sick all the time and the wierd hormonal mood swings. Then I had a miscarriage.

This time even when I am puking my guts out (every morning) and feel sick all day. I am so happy because it means I have a baby inside me.

And you do not know how important that is to you till you lose it.

Answer 8

I don't hate being pregnant. I never thought I'd have another child and these are my husband's first (it's twins!!) so we are enjoying the pregnancy. I am not exactly loving the discomforts that go with pregnancy, but I'm enjoying being pregnant. Give it a little time, the sickness usually passes after 12-13 weeks.

Answer 9

my first trimester was really tough, too. The second trimester, really is great, though. I didn't even feel pregnant. I had good energy, no nasuea. The third trimester is getting harder. I find I'm tired and sore a lot and I'm ready to have this baby. I wouldn't say that I hate it, but unlike some women, I don't love being pregnant either.

Good luck!! and it WILL get better.

Answer 10

No, I love it. But I had a hard time getting there, so I may appreciate some of the twisted symptoms more then most. Feeling sick, being tired and more sensitive to odors all were signs to me that everything was okay. Now that I'm in my second trimester and most of those have gone away, I kind of miss them. I don't have the daily reassurance that everything is okay!

Answer 11

I would not say I hate being pregnant. The first couple week were hard around the 2nd trimester no problem now I'm in the 3rd trimester and I'm like dang I'm almost close to my due date. And the only thing I'm thinking about is the pain I'm going to be in.
