jules, i'm with you. i want my old body back. i want to go to the gym without weezing. i'm sick of all this extra weight - sick of not being able to get comfortable at night. my feet are almost 2 sizes bigger because of swelling. my wedding ring hurts to put on. i have severe heartburn. i'm ready.

ps - i hated planning my wedding too. i was ready for that crap to be over!

 

[julesjules100]

Ha ha! I was the anti-bride. I particularly hated all the wedding dress stuff and always used to feel like a freak watching women get teary over a dress and hear how "It's the one". I just didn't get it! Think we'll be in the minority on that one though. Best part of my wedding day was having it over [worst part; the bill - I would have rather put the money into my mortgage!] x

 

[maybesoon]

LOL..... jtink.... You honestly sound just like me! I'm so happy I'm not the only woman to hate it. The people around me make me feel like a monster. All they ever talk about is how GREAT it was & how much the LOVED being pregnant. All I think as I'm fighting the urge to roll my eyes & call "BULLSHIT" is "either you are lying your ass off or your are completely NUTS. There is nothing great about what is going on with my body."

The discharge that happens 5 seconds after going pee, the cramping that feels like my monthly is going to start any minute, the pokes & prods, the sharp shooting pains through my vjay jay, my huge heavy boobs, my gut that's killing my back, the fact that if I sit down in the tub to take a warm bath it takes a miracle to get me out of it, rolling over from one side to the other in bed takes 3 minutes only to find that it's just as uncomfortable as where I was, the fact that in the last week I've had acid reflux so bad I have almost vomited on dh 3 times in the middle of the night & barely made it out of bed & to the bathroom in time to hit the toilet.....

Sorry for all the complaining. But I can't voice it to anyone else because "THEIR PREGNANCIES WERE MAGICAL, PERFECT & I'M JUST UNGRATEFUL"....

 

[maybesoon]

lol..... I wasn't the wonderfully girly bride either. I couldn't wait to get it done. I was the last one dressed & the first one back in my regular clothes with my first husband.

With Shane, I told him from the very beginning I wasn't doing the wedding thing again. I told him I wasn't wasting the time or money on that crap. We both had a wedding the first time around & we see where that got us. So we went to a Justice of the Peace who Shane is friends with & had him do it in about 2 minutes.

Jtink i've been getting some swelling in my legs too when I've been sat at my desk a long time. When I was pregnant first time i swelled really badly and had very fat feet and hands, i just had to get my feet up as much as possible- not easy for you to do working full time though

LPJKP i agree with Hann that you should go for it, better to have it planned and then you can change your mind at the last minute and even during labour if you are not coping. My friend has had two lovely homebirths and I think they are great particularly if you are not fond of hospitals. I would never be allowed a homebirth and my husband would be too nervous. I would really love to try a waterbirth though this time. X

 

[maybesoon]

EEEEKKKK! My cousin (having a girl) was scheduled to be induced on Friday. She just text me saying she just left her doctors appointment, she has to go to the hospital tomorrow for monitoring & depending on what they see they may induce her tomorrow!!! Can't believe they are inducing her already. I found out I was pregnant before she found out she was (lol but she was 3 months along before she found out)!!!

 

[pinktiara]

Gotta say being pregnant this time around was awful with my son it was great besides the 50 lb weight gain haha im only up 11 with this one and its much more comfortable that way. We went away to a B&B all weekend and had to be up at 8 for breakfast i was exhausted all weekend got home last night and my son (3) was up at 2am throwing up and had a sore stomach poor thing the inlaws give him to much crap to eat while hes there and wonder why i never wanna leave him.

 

[Lady H]

I've got a few niggles but I'm still so grateful that I even got pregnant and she's still snuggled in there that I will take it! I suspect she will be our only child as I turn 41 the month after she arrives so I'm trying to enjoy every day. Hard though it is sometimes!

 

[kezziek]

Ooh thats exciting about your cousin maybesoon hope everything gos ok xxx

I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy as it's meant to be our last but I'm just finding it too hard physically this time round. Apart from the morning sickness last two times I actually quite enjoyed the second half of my pregnancies. It is lovely having them wriggle inside and know it's just the two of you together all the time. It's easier to look after them in your tummy too lol. Roll on maternity leave I have so much to sort out and lots of cleaning and organising to get done. Then I know the time will fly. 7 weeks to go!

Sass i meant to say gorgeous bump photos! You look amazing! Such a lovely tidy bump. I look like a beached whale compared to you lol, i think my bum has grown bigger than my bump! X

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Maybe - you're not being ungrateful.

If you're in pain then of course you aren't going to enjoy yourself. Xxx

I'm very lucky in that I have sore hips and ribs and some indigestion. But nothing mega really.

When I had my MS at the start I hated every second and was sooo miserable. So I totally appreciate people haiting pregnancy - especially anyone with non-stop sickness.

I just sat and cried some days I felt so sick.

Of course I've still got 12 weeks to develop all sort of aches and pains - so don't count on me not joining you all in the "is it time for labour yet" club!!

 

[jtink28]

i very much enjoyed pregnancy - until about 3 weeks ago. haha! now i just want to order food every night for dinner so i don't have to cook, and then lay on the couch.

i've already drank about 100 ounces of water today, so i'm hoping that by drinking tons of water (i sadly quit drinking caffeine today as well, as i heard it contributes to swelling ) the swelling will lessen some.

sass and poppy, i mean to tell you ladies that you look great. i totally look like a beached whale, too, kezzie! (and you've had 2 kids already - this is my first! gulp)

[maybesoon]

lol jtink.... I was cooking dinner last night & had to walk away from the stove because my belly is so stinking big it was getting hot from being too close to the stove.... dh asked if there was anything he could help me with & my response "yep stand here & stir this for a minute I gotta go outside & let Mason cool down, I'm sure he's cooking in my tummy it's so hot". What the heck.... I'm only 29 1/2 weeks & I already can't stand at the stove for more than a few minutes at a time......

 

[maybesoon]

ttc my cramping feels like I'm about to start my monthly at any second but it also comes with my lower part of my tummy/pelvic area getting extremely hard....

 

[TTCBean]

Maybe that's more accurate of a description, now that I think about it. It does feel like I'm going to get AF... but no hardness. Just back ache.

 

[maybesoon]

hmmm sounds a little like BH to me. When I first started having them my tummy didn't tighten either.

 

[julesjules100]

I get the hardness when there's a BH but those don't hurt per se. I've been having cramping too over the last week like AF type period pains and lower back ache. Think the time to worry us if its excruciating otherwise in putting it down to stretching x

 

[TTCBean]

Thanks girls, I'll put it down to BH/stretching! It's not excruciating or anything so I think all is OK either way !

 

[maybesoon]

I actually have had them while in with my doctor at my last 2 appointments. She told me that if I have 4 or more an hour or start bleeding/spotting to go straight to the ER otherwise it's all good & our bodies are just getting ready for labor..... EEEKKKK!

 

[Sass827]

Jt- my hands and feet have swollen after all 4 of my flights in the last month. I got comments from co-workers too. I guess it's just part of the game. After the one 2 part flight last week (8 hours of flying) my ankles got so big, they just disappeared. DH thought it was funny but also looked pretty disturbed.
I'm also over being pregnant. I want wine and rare tuna. And to be able to bend over and catch my breath. I also hated wedding planning. But I think that runs in my family. My dad tried to pay off my DH to skip the whole party and just take the money for the mortgage. It sucked that he wouldn't take him up on it.
