Is anyone not enjoying thier pregnancy?

[Lilly12]

The first 10 weeks I wasn't enjoying my pregnancy at all.
Of course I was very happy to be pregnant, but just the physical symptoms got to me so much.
The nausea, acid reflux, trapped gas, sooo tired, no appetite.
All I could do was lay on the couch all day .. feeling sick.. nothing too enjoyable about that!

But the last week or so I'm slowly starting to feel better.. my appetite is coming back, my nausea is slowly fading to the background (it's still there though ) , and I'm a little less tired.
Most days I still need a nap in the afternoon.

But as I'm feeling better I'm also starting to enjoy being pregnant more, especially now Im almost 12 weeks!

For those who are on their first and feeling so bad they seriously think they won't have another, take heart, the usual pattern is that symptoms are reduced in the second pregnancy. Your body has less far to travel to accommodate the baby for one thing. I felt the same, I didn't know when I would feel ready to have a second though I knew we wanted more than one. It took 18 months for me to consider it and now at 21 months after the birth I am pregnant again. And bad as it is, it IS better this time. This time so far I've been able to eat which really helps with the ms, last time I couldn't eat anything. Eventually enough time will pass that you will feel ready to brace yourself. And you'll know better what to expect and how to behave to help reduce things, you won't try and do as much and will generally be better prepared for the sickness. to all

I feel the same ladies.. this pregnancy seems to be putting strain on every part of my body. with the aches pains, acne tiredness etc I feel a bit down tbh as I dont seem to have the energy to do anything. I physically cried walking home from the doctors today as it felt like such an effort and my poor boys must be wondering whats wrong with me as im grouchy tired and generally sat on the sofa moaning. so unlike me and I do feel bad for them especially my little one we used to go out for long walks and at the moment I barely want to walk around the house.

my OH bless him is lovely about it but I do feel mean when im like a zombie when he walks in and I need to go to bed.

It was much easier with my 1st when I was 18 I remember being full of energy and walking in heels still at 8 months. I would just love to feel like me again.

i'm not enjoying it so far, the thought of having so long to go is terrifying! i hope that in the 2nd trimester when i get abit more energy and the hormones have levelled off abit that i will start to enjoy it! xxx
