Even though I am a man, I can somewhat feel your pain. My SO is at 39 weeks now, and she has and is going through all of that also. I try to do everything I can to make her feel better, (but I'm sure it is never enough). Please remember, if your man is a true man and going through it with you, then he is feeling the pain also, just in a different way. Good luck and congrats! It will be over soon, and it will be well worth it!!! :-)

This is Mrs. william c.
Not all women experience the "horrors" of pregnancy. Even all pregnancies are not the same.
Hormonal changes account for a good deal of the down side of pregnancy. The nighttime potty runs are due to the fact that the baby puts pressure on the bladder making it more difficult to hold on through the night.
Not all women have horrible labor either. I knew several women who had little or no pain during labor (lucky ladies). My first was was 4 months of worshipping at the porcelain atlar (or road shoulder), toxemia and pre-eclampisia causing me to spend 2 weeks before birth in the hospital, 26 hours of excruciting labor, and finally a caesarian. My second was relatively easy, no sickness, but I had terrible mood swings, the baby was rather large, causing me to have to sit with my back arched so I could breathe. I don't remember too many nighttime potty runs with either tho.

Because we love our kids and if it was all up to the male to give birth we would never reproduce,lol. It all worth it in the end though. But then you have sleepness nights, chuck, poo and screaming. And that's all before the age of 1,lol. Don't want to know about teenagers,lol. I had a DREAM 1st pregnancy and labor. It was the best 9 months of my life. I was so comfortable and loved my new forming body. I even loved the labor and birth of my baby and ready to do it again the next day. I'm 19 weeks pregnant with 2nd baby and it has been torture. Horrible morning sickness(lost 8 kg before 15 weeks) horrid back pain, it feel like my insides are going to fall out, my pelvis about to give way and talk about mood swings,lol. Oh well only another 21 weeks. It really is all worth it in the end. Already I would do it all over again. I love feeling my baby move and know s/he is growing inside me. Wouldn't change it for the world.

You have been blessed with a child. Do you have any idea how lucky you are? How many times have you been sick with a cold? Or had to pee so bad you almost went in your pants? You didnt get anything out of it those times did you? Just think, at the end of this miserable time causing you so much discomfort you came here to complain about it, you will have a beautiful baby. If you think youre uncomfortable now? Just wait. Youre in for a very long life filled with unhappiness. Maybe you should ask the Father to be more supportive. I think thats what you need right now. Someone isnt giving you the acknowledgement you need right now. Or isnt as excited about your pregnancy. At the end of the day you are lucky enough to be pregnant. Hopefully your delivery will go without complications. And your child will be healthy. In the large scheme of things is having to go pee alot really worth focusing on? Who cares why we women were blessed with such a burden? We just were.

Why? That's the way it is. Why is the sky blue? Why does the sun shine?Why does our hearts beat?
Instead of asking why, work on finding solutions to your morning sickness. I have 6 children and sunflower seeds works wonders for morning sickness, i think it'sthe salt. Staying hydrated, eating very small amounts of bland foods, take a few bites here and there.
As for the endless trips to the toilet, it'll be over once you give birth.
As for labor, relaxation, breathing, focusing, baths or showers, having support, hire a doula, keep positive thought no matter what. When you get to the point where you feel you just cant take it anymore, the baby will be born. Nature has its way of getting things done, it's up to us to learn to work with nature.

your body is changing to help keep the fetus as comfortable as possible. try being more physically active and around positive people as well as follow what your dr says so you don't miss on the satisfying part of pregnancy. just remember not all women are lucky enough to have a chance to get pregnant and have a family, you are quite lucky and i believe that the difficulties we women face make us appreciate motherhood and the blessing of having children . it also makes us appreciate what our parents have done for us to keep us healthy and happy.

Even though I do sympathise with you, there are many women who see the entire pregnancy as a joy. As a man I am glad I only have to work for 50 years of my life. We all have crosses to bear.

According to the Bible it is because of Eve's sin, which I personally think is ridiculous! It is part of nature, and perhaps brings the Mother closer to the child somehow.

No matter what, I count myself blessed for being able to carry my child to life. Sure, it isn't always fun and sure, we deal with a lot of pain, but it's all worth it!
