Does anyone else NOT like being pregnant?

[Al Syr]

I have only gained 7 pounds through my entirer pregnancy so far, I have a big beautiful round belly with no stetch marks, nice plump breast with no stretch marks, I never had morning sickness . . . I LOVE being pregnant and hate nothing about it.

I don't mean to sound harsh but to 2nd time and 3rd time moms, why get pregnant if you know how much you hate it? First time moms, you should really feel lucky. I know a few people who are struggling with infertility, and they would love to feel all the things you ladies have complained about. I have had heartburn, but I don't care it's not a big deal, I have had back pain, real bad sciatic nerve pain but I honestly love every minute of it. I remember why I am feeling the discomfort and I feel happy, because once my baby is born, I will do anything for him, I will take a bullet for him, I'd give my life for him, I'd put myself through all the pain in the world so he won't feel any pain at all.

Once again, I am not being negative about this post, or saying it's horrible, I just get sad when people hate how "they look" and how "they feel" that is what pregnancy is, if you don't want to go through that then don't, you have a choice.

From the bottom of my heart I hope your pregnancies get better, and love every minute of it like I do.

No one at any point has said they dont love their baby etc but not everyone can be the same and

''have only gained 7 pounds through my entirer pregnancy so far, I have a big beautiful round belly with no stetch marks, nice plump breast with no stretch marks, I never had morning sickness . . . I LOVE being pregnant and hate nothing about it''

if we were all the same the world would be a very boring place.

If I am honest (and yes I am 35 weeks pregnant and hormonal) I find your post annoying and smug. Your lucky you feel that way and dont feel the guilt the way some of us feel. Rubbing it in doesnt help.

Aww, dont be jealous! get over it.

Your not a particularly nice or supportive person are you.

Like some others are doing I will stop this thread now.

To the people who are supportive thanks your why I love this website you help me so much xxxxxx

I actually am a very nice person, and I only know that because people tell me. I am very supportive too. That last post though, I posted cause I apologized and actually meant it, and today I decided to look back now there was more posts attacking again.

TO THOSE WHO THOUGHT I DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG BUT EXPRESS MY OPINION AND TRIED TO GET SOMETHING CLEARED . . . THANK YOU! I do appreciate the fact that you can see what I see, it is nice to see rational people on this site.

not only is my pregnancy making me want to throw up, its also the way grown women revert back to high school!! Now thats a cause for a puke bucket.

I am over the moon to be pregnant but it def hasn't agreed with me. I have had awful mornign sickness (throwing up) with nausea 24/7. Backache, sore breasts, headaches, hip and leg pain, restless leg...it goes on. On top of that I am an asthmatic who had to be taking off certain meds and I can't breathe.....try breathing through a coffee stir, thats what it feels like. So, for me being pregnant isn't a beaufitul experience but I want my baby and I will endure it like all the other girls who are having a hard time. We don't not want our children. If I was given the chance to do it again I would...mothers sacrafice, thats what they call it, right Its what we do. Just because we are having a hard time, doesn't mean we are ungrateful.

I have to say this.....I don't care whose breasts are plump or stomach is round and are both stretchmark free, or who only gained and ounce and has golden hair that flows and glows to perfection (mine is unruly, I forgot that) or if u had no heartburn, or morning sickness or backache or anything, eventually the breasts will droop, the stomach won't go flat again, the stretchmarks will come, u will gain weight eventually, your noo-noo will ache and there will be a point where u will scream to get the baby out of u....we are just saying it in advance. Am I being smart...yes I am. OP just said how she felt, why do people lately have to make a debate out of everything. OP, I hope u feel better hun...

It really upsets me how this thread has gone from someone really struggling to cope with some of the downs of pregnancy, and looking for other people to relate to and get support from... to now being full of ignorant, narrow minded people who just want to cause trouble! I don't think this thread was created to cause people to disagree and gloat, more to be a place that people who feel the same can talk about their experiences! So if you are loving pregnancy and can't relate in the slightest, then it's probably best you no longer comment on this thread!

 

[glenoakgirl]

Amen bananabump...this thread is not for people who are breezing through their pregnancies.....

EVERYONE looks at almost EVERY post, so maybe people who can't handle the truth or handle a difference of opinion should not be here. This IS a forum, everyone is not always going to agree just like that breast feeding post about 2 weeks ago.

If that's how it is, then you probably shouldn't get upset when people tell you what they thought of your post

Mmmm...I'm craving cake so hard...the kind with the fluffy white frosting that I haven't been able to stomach since I was like five...

I didn't get upset, I actually felt bad. Big difference between the two.

Brilliant!! This literally made me lol!!

I dont mind the pregnant part, especially this is as pregnant as I have ever been...but the complete bedrest and constant worry if baby might come early like our first...TOTALLY SUCKS!

I like being pregnant. I knew before I became pregnant what to expect - hopefully you don't get pregnant without knowing the 'side effects' and everything pregnancy can do to you? My first tri was awful, sick and in and out of hospitals. Wouldn't trade it for the world, though. I love my little bump.

Makes me sad that other ladies aren't enjoying the gift that some women will never get to experience.

 

[LeeBee]

My guess is you won't be singing how much you like pregnancy when you're pushing a 7 lb child out of your vagina. But I don't think anyone will think any less of you for it.

I've enjoyed pregnancy, for the most part. But I can totally understand why someone would hate it.

And in response to Al Syr~ The reason I mentioned you seeming upset was because you were making comments to people that made it seem like you were... i.e: "don't be jealous" and such... I didn't read through everything, so maybe I missed something, but that's just how it came off to me.

We all knew before we got pregnant what to expect...but expecting it and going through it are two different things. I said earlier I would do it again regardless of being drug through the ringer.....

Don't feel sad for us other ladies who aren't enjoying the gift that some women will never get to experience....that remark rubs me the wrong way. I have lost babies and my 29mth old daughter....and yes, I still have the right to say being pregnant doesn't agree with me.

I think you might be wrong. It's probably when I'll enjoy it the most, knowing my precious baby girl is only that much closer to being in my arms.

You've never given birth before have you? LOL

First, I'm very sorry you've lost babies. I couldn't imagine going through that.

I wasn't trying to be rude, but the fact is not liking the symptoms and not liking the pregnancy is a little different. As I said before as well, I don't like the symptoms I've had - but that doesn't mean I don't love being pregnant. Hopefully not all of the horrid symptoms last for all of you ladies and you can start enjoying being pregnant as well.

nothing makes me puke more than when some women think they love their children more than others. My child is just as precious.....

No, but that doesn't matter. I'm sure it's not going to be a walk in the park but it's not going to make me hate my pregnancy and hate being pregnant. Labor will probably be the best part knowing that she's going to be here soon.

I'm sorry if anything I said made you feel like that. Not my intentions, at all.

I am not enjoying being pregnant. That other people are infertile does not make constant discomfort any more palatable much as knowing there are starving children in Africa doesn't make unpleasant food any more palatable. The infertile women might love to wake up one morning with morning sickness and have to crawl to the bathroom because standing up makes them faint; the starving children might fully enjoy foods that I find repulsive. Doesn't affect our relative discomfort. Frankly, I'm glad that there are other women who find it unpleasant too -- not that their experiences are unpleasant but knowing that I'm not some terrible person for wishing I could skip these months and get to the holding my baby part.

To the perfect round tummy lady -- I'm glad things are going so smoothly for you. I don't think arguing this point back and forth is going to do anything more than upset a bunch of hormonal women. I do think you're just trying to back up and defend yourself and there's no reason to say things to upset you. God knows I've pissed off enough women in my life; I can understand why you're defensive and I think you can understand why the other women got defensive -- they felt like you were trivializing their discomforts and accusing them of being bad mommies. That'll get anyone on edge.

All we need is some ice cream and a hug!
