"I know it'l all be worth it but..." - feel free to join my moan!

[herewego]

I'm with you Bellablu - wanted this baby for soooooo very long (I'll be 32 when he/she arrives next April), and was quite happy to deal with the morning sickness etc until I realised just how dam bad it was going to get!

Foolish thoug hit may be, I'm not in any way anxious or concerned about the birth... they have painkillers that make the worst of it go away, but nothing prepared me for how worried I was going to be for this LO to be ok from the moment the test came back positive?!

 

[mislaww]

My main one at the moment is..

"But you wanted to get pregnant so badly! You should be loving every minute" ..

CORRECTION, I said I wanted a child desperately.. not that I wanted to gain weight, get hairy.. give up eating and pooping and sleeping normally and then endure childbirth..

Coincidentally, in order to get my precious baby in my arms, I have to be pregnant. Thats just the way the cookie crumbles.


Worth it? Yes. Would I skip it all if humanly possible? Abso-freaking-lutely.

Damn, you've got it right, hon!

Ohhh, I hate the "how big are you?" question! It drives me mad!

My other complaints:
- Getting up at least 3 times a night to wee
- The frequent, stabbing headaches
- The nausea. It's not so bad now, but every once in a while, I'll have a spout of it
- Dull achiness in my lower back when attempting to sleep on my back
- My nose has been stuffy for the past 3 months

I am fed up of being paranoid! And of not being able to enjoy cups of tea anymore, they make me feel hot and ill :[ I miss my boy cat Puppy's cuddles cus he's gone right off me since I got pregnant. But I'm tired of WAITING! I wanna be 40 weeks already ^^ I' m sick of being asked:

When's it due?
Boy or a girl?
Names?

Then with people getting all pissed off cus we're keeping it a secret (cept you lot!) Like hello it's OUR baby, half me and half OH and we wanna keep SOMETHING just for us about her!

Also I don't mean to sound ungrateful but people trying to give us baby stuff which is MEANT to be new like crumb covered car seats which may not meet regulations anymore etc and they get so offended but we wanna buy one luxury item for ourselves... Seems everyone else already knows what bedding/cot/pushchair/birth plan we're having before we get to pick!

That felt good but I feel selfish and guilty now :/

OMG AND

When I am pissed off, or upset about something legit and people discount it altogether "It's just hormones" WHAT?? No it freaking isn't, sometimes yes and I will admit those times later but it's like especially when someone says it to OH and I'm like

YOU'RE PRACTICALLY TELLING ME WHAT HE'S DONE IS OK!! (Whatever it happens to be. And sometimes it's just NOT. Huff.

The tiredness, gone off foods I used to yam down to be replaced by cravings that I hate , to have a fricken' glass of wine and to have sex with my OH without telling him off every 2 seconds and for me to be able to stand more than 2 minutes without my knees feeling like there about to fall off.

It's so worth it though.

I hate this one as well hon

Whatever you say or whatever you do is all down to your hormones when quite probably you would act in the same way if you werent pregnant

Take last night for instance.....DS is on punishment for various crimes amongst suddenly develpoing deafness whenever you are talking to him (a man thing I think !) So no treats....choc, sweets, buns etc etc Well he went to MILs yesterday and DH forgot to take him some plain fruit yogurts to her house for his snack as she didnt have any in the house (only has a house full of crap snack foods....says it all really!) So on Tuesday night DH rings MIL infront on DS and gives her the warning about no treats.....Well apparently MIL forgot and cause DH also forgot to take the yogurts for his snack MIL thought it was fine to stuff him with crap Wasnt happy at all but according to DH its ok cause its a one off and they just forgot My son has an habit of a late of playing up for me...dont know if its cause am pregnant....but I so get undermined by DH and MIL were DS is concerned its no wonder he plays up when he sees that any punishment I deal out is totally ignored by DH and MIL.....This is apparently all down to me being pregnant cause if I wasnt I wouldnt be so bothered.....AS IF! Its not nice being on the recieving end wether I am pregnant or not and DH and MILS lack of support would bother me pregnant or not!

1. SPD and believe me I have an ENTIRELY different acronym for those 3 letters!
2. Why can't I just poo like a normal person!! Seriously...once a week and even that doesn't come without busting vessels in my eyes!
3. Shoes, I miss wearing my cute shoes. My feet are puffy and are never the same color!
4. OMG the veins on my boobs!!! I look like one of the creepy vampires not the sexy ones!
5. Wine-I would love to have a glass of wine
6. Can't believe I am about to say this but I miss cleaning house!! The SPD has me immobile most days and I just want my routine back!!!

I could go on and on but I won't. Bottom line....I will not rush the baking of my bean but pregnancy isn't always soooooo lovely and beautiful!! It's hard work and misery most of the 40 weeks! But that's okay sweet Izzy...you are for sure worth every cramp, ache, and tough poo!

 

[+tivethoughts]

What a great thread, and I totally agree with you all. Like someone else mentioned, I too want this baby so bad it hurts - and yes, I am excited to be pregnant, but my god - This is NOT what I signed up for!! lol

[alparen]

Just because we all wanted our babies so bad doesn't mean we can't get fed up with some of the horrible side effects that are coming along. Sheesh my hubby says stuff like well you should be happy with even the worst nausea and such.. and i'm like dude I am happy with everything but i am allowed to get fed up with feeling like pooooooo! I would love to have my nice shiny hair back and my face to not look like a train wreck. He tells me I'm even more beautiful now and I just laugh because I feel like an ass hat hahahaaa
