Is anyone not enjoying thier pregnancy?

[sezrah]

Strange thing to really say but I wondered if there were any mums to be who are finding pregnancy a real strain. I know the 1st trimester isn't easy but I've had it real rough and the only good thing about it for me was seeing the baby in my 12 week scan. I've been dog tired, sick, you name it and have found it hard to get out of bed! I feel like such a lazy person which is horrible, have no motivation or get up and go for anything, even stupid things, all my energy is zapped! I'm ofcourse blessed and over the moon to be carrying my 1st child, but it feels like pregnancy is like an ilness. Just wondered if anyone else felt like me with this. I feel kind of selfish to even think that.

This is also my first. We were trying and it didn't happen for 7 months so I am thrilled to be pregnant but the sickness has really hit me this last week and I am struggling. I was in tears last night I felt so ill and this morning was just as bad. I had to call in sick, I couldn't stand up without gagging.

I'm really looking forward to this energy boost 2nd tri is meant to bring!

 

[sezrah]

Yes bring it on is all I can say!! lol

Hi im butting in from the 2nd tri im 21 weeks 2morro and still suffering from horrific hypermesis and got told yeaterday I have anemia to top it all off Ive never had the energy boost or glow your ment to get but im praying hard ill get it never felt so ill in my life so I know how your feeling but hopefully for you it will pass and you will feel better

 

[Chellepot]

I know exactly how you feel, I have had a rough time of it, some days really bad but I had a moan on here and tried to do things to take my mind off it and cheer myself up which has mostly involved googling baby stuff or trying to sleep. I'm hoping it wil pass soon. Looks like we are due around the same time so we can have crappy pregnancies together lol, feel free to give me a shout whenever you fancy a moan xxx

Im the same i feel like i have been hut by a truck, i feel dreadful ive actually already told hubby WE ARE NOT HAVING ANOTHER ONE and i have not even had to push this one out yet.
Ive been as sick as a dog, exhausted at just going up stairs, off my food, breast aching, gagging at smells, and ive had a chest infection/ laryngitis and a cold for the last 3 week and trying to work plus look after 5 horses and 10 dogs (6 adults and 4 puppies we bred). I honestly feel like im not cut out for this.

When I had my head over the toilet last night DH asked me "shall we stick to dogs after this one?" We have two already and no kids. I'm not sure how serious he was being! I know his family wouldn't like it if we got any more dogs! They don't let us bring round the two we've got!

I am totally with you ladies on this one This is my second LO (we have DS!) I sailed through pregnancy with him it seems incomparision to this ickle raspberry whos prescence is very much been felt right now I feel so ill....I am overjoyed at been pregnant but I really really hope this passes soon b/c I am struggling to cope with everyday life and I feel like

 

[welshmummy2be]

this is my third pregnancy but my first baby as i m/c at 6 and 8.3 weeks so this is the furthest i have gone aswell cant really say im enjoying it as im constantly worried although i must say i love seeing bubs in scans and hearing on doppler just wish the next 2weeks or so would hurry up as i feel so worried 24/7 x x x i love that im pregnant tho x x x

 

[HippieJess]

Luckily I've only been suffering with nausea & exhaustion. What's really getting to me is the constant worry. I still have another two weeks until my scan & I can't help but worry that something has gone horribly wrong. If I could find the HB with a doppler I might calm down, but until then I'm going to worry.

 

[Gemie]

I feel so blessed to be preggo.. I just want to say that first and foremost BUT I'm suffering with this pregnancy. I had my ds 14 years ago when I was 17 and sailed through... I don't know whether it's the age difference but I'm beat, I'm drained, sick, tired, you name it!
I feel so lazy b/c I just don't have the energy to do anything, I think everyone is thinking I'm milking it lol but I'm so not.
I feel so blessed to be carrying a little person inside me though and I know how some ladies on here would give their right arm to feel like I do, I'm not taking this for granted by any means.

Hope you feel better soon girls! xxx

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I worry people are thinking I am milking it too Gemie hon but honestly I just do not have the energy right now

 

[Twinminator]

TOTALLY agree with all you ladies, I feel like I've got to hide up because whenever I see friends / family, it's like they want me to be floating ethereally like mother earth, and I feel like a bag of $**t, but I know they think I'm milking it.
Instead of feeling apologetic for not being chirpy, we ought to be offended that they're not more supportive!

 

[lilaries0411]

I would have to agree with Gemie. I love the fact that I am pregnant and I'm so excited, but its taken so much out of me. I feel sick all of the time, Im sooooo tired and want to sleep all day. I'm not motivated to do anything and I fell so bloated 24/7. I cant wait for this part to end and I feel normal. I feel like I'm going crazy from being so sick all of the time and from worrying so much. I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like this!

 

[trippdalette]

I'm only 6-8 weeks but I'm BEYOND miserable!!!!! I hate this!!! I can't tell you how many times I've broken down crying and depressed... All I want to do is eat! And be able to keep it down...I've been dry heaving for days as a) nothing sounds good b) 99% of things make me puke thinking about it and c) nothing stays down x.x

 

[sezrah]

I feel for you all, so glad I'm not alone. I thought it was really wrong of me to not be enjoying this! I know what you mean though about family not understanding, I should be this etheral floating woman ( lol I like that ), but I don't feel like that at all!

 

[PeanutBean]

You're not being selfish at all. It is shit being pregnant for a lot of women! I had 24 hour debilitating nausea the full pregnancy last time and after an horrendous birth too I was just euphoric not to be pregnant anymore. I am already fed up of feeling the same way and have only had about 3 weeks of it so far. Much as I appreciate how hard it can be to be TTC without joy I confess to getting annoyed when people suggest we should be grateful for feeling so bad. I'm grateful for being able to be pregnant but not that I am one of the unlucky ones who feel like death the whole way through. There was no bloom, no burst of energy, no cravings, no nesting, no wanting to even be alive basically with my last pregnancy. It is very very hard for those of us who get bad ms. We just have to live through each day as best we can and with good fortune we have a gorgeous baby at the end of it and can put it all behind us.

I must admit to having very similar thoughts to yourself, i'm so grateful at being pregnant but woah I have had a bad bad pregnancy so far symptom-wise. I have had to be signed off work as I have lost a lot of weight due to constant sickness and nausea and i'm too tired to get out of bed most of the time. I also find I worry constantly about my next scan etc. I'm so anxious all the time. Everyone is absolutely thrilled that i'm pregnant, my mum keeps phoning me and she is absolutely over the moon, I can't let myself get too excited yet though...

Count me in as another who is ecstatic to be pregnant but feeling physically miserable all the time. Every part of my body is screaming in agony all the time... from migraines to pains from my uterus growing, to abnormally brutal morning sickness - I am not enjoying this.

My mother always told of how she felt her best during all of her three pregnancies.... not I. I just want my baby now (full term and healthy of course!!)

My husband doesn't want just one child since he was an only child and feels that he missed out on a lot. I told him that if this isn't twins I am having then we need to get our names on the adoption lists!

i am so happy to be pregannt, but I'm seriously like ready to be down the road a bit, First Tri can be so boring, and I'm sick of feeling hungry every 2 hours, I never had this with my first two, and like another lady on this post, had my first 2 when I was younger, now, almost 9 years later i'm pg, and I feel like the age thing is not helping...I feel more tired now, I can't take off work if I'm sick, due to saving leave for when I have the baby, and or for kids appointments...they get all my leave. lol the main thing with this pregnancy is just the hunger pains which turn to sickness if I don't eat on time...oh and reflux...never had it this early before....I'm so ready to move on to 2nd tri, i usually feel better around 13/14 weeks...usually...sorry just wanted to have my pitty party...i'll behave now. lol
