Does anyone else absolutely hate being pregnant?

[EllieNation]

Yes yes yes yes yes I can't stand being pregnant. Last time with my son I had HG. Although the vomiting settled by around 25-28 weeks the nausea persisted until T+12 when I finally gave birth!

So .... What on earth am I doing back in first Tri?

Well firstly - you kinda do forget how bad it is

Secondly - whilst I was pregnant all the time I used to think 'why? Why am I putting myself through this hell? This is the worst time in my life' .... But as soon as my son was in my arms it all fell into place and I was like 'ahhhhhh THAT'S why!!!!' He is more worth every puke than I could have imagined at the time.

Thirdly - I know, and everyone will back me up here, that every pregnancy is different. It was important to me that DS wasn't an only child. I came into it with the hope that it wouldn't be as bad second time around. And honestly, although I'm still feeling sick, and occasionally throwing up, it's nowhere near as intense or relentless. Although I hate feeling this way and have already made it clear that this is the last baby, I am coping much better overall.

So there's hope.

I'll keep my fingers crossed you feel better soon xxxxxxxx

I've been sick with HG too and it ran its course exactly like it did the first pregnancy. Touch wood now after 4 times being rehydrated and meds changed, it is starting to subside a little. I've hated the sickness and it has made me weak. Having a bath or shower is so much of a chore! I wanted three kids but I'm afraid to say, the second time around has proved that any pregnancy I have, would result in HG! I can't see me having anymore unless there was a definite cure for HG and I know I wouldn't have it again. At 12 weeks, I hope it's starting to subside. X

Lmao. I wouldnt mind two girls either but were not trying for another 2 years....( sorry didnt mean to hijack the thread , im just a mommy who is stalking first tri boards ecause i do miss pregnancy, even though i was sick 24-7,9 months straight!) u do forget the bad part of it all.... My labor was even awful but id still do it again!

sounds like you are having a truly horrible time of it. Iv never had hg but I was very very sick with my daughter and It was utterly miserable. the constant fatigue and feeling weak pounding headaches all i done was lay in bed with a fan blowing cold air onto my face . I sooked on ice lollies as it was the only thing I could face . It didn't ease up until I was approaching second tri and I really hope your illness goes away soon and you get to experience a different level of pregnancy x

im glad to hear im not the only one. Im super sick all day long, although im not throwing up a lot i almost wish i was to get the few seconds of relief from the nausea. im trying everything but the relentless sick feeling is too much. all i can do is lay around all day long and i am so bored, lonely, and miserable. i feel so depressed that this is what its like, and i had no idea it would be so hard. i wanted this, but now im not even sure why! that sounds horrible. I want a baby, but its so hard to ever imagine feeling good ever ever again. my family will ask questions like 'arent you happy?" well no. no im not. thanks for sharing your stories, im glad to not be alone.
