Anyone else hate being pregnant?

This is my fourth baby and I'm ready to be done. This pregnancy has been really hard on me so far. But if this turns out to be my fourth girl, I'd give it one more go as crazy as that sounds.

Thankyou so much girls, had a better day today, DS has been an absolute angel for me all day and although the pain is still there my crazy hormones are in 'upbeat' mode..

So glad it's not just me being a moody pants about pregnancy. I really think people under estimate the strain of growing a human being!

YES. I hate it so, so much. In fact I think it's part of the reason (there were many reasons) why I stopped after my first two, which I SO regret now.

I"m thinking of you and hoping that time flies by superfast!!

Thanks atomic, 32 weeks today! ....and counting every second...

May I add I have new found respect for woman with big families. I wanted to sway for another DS in a few years time but I think someone will have to brain wash me first! ..lol xxx

I have never really enjoyed pregnancy. Of course I feel extremely lucky and am grateful to be pregnant, but it doesn't mean I enjoy it. I wish I was one of those women who glowed and loved it. Sadly I am not. I am sick the first trimester with bloating, gas, vomiting, nausea and just a constant feeling of unease. About the times these symptoms are going away and I am starting to feel good, I get heartburn, start to swell and feel uncomfortable. My nose starts to spread and I just get big everywhere.

During my first pregnancy I kept saying, my nose is spreading, I dont look like myself. And my best friend would tell me I looked normal, that it was in my head. Well after I had DS1 and I lost the weight and the swelling was gone she tells me "yeah your face really did change but I didnt want to tell you because what if it didnt go back?" Its a running joke now.

I get tired, winded easily and hate the way I look.

The only part of pregnancy I enjoy is feeling the baby move. I think that is one of the most special things on earth.

Count me in. Not a fan of pregnancy at all and so glad this is my last one (unless we have an OOPS!). I make huge babies and I carry them ALL in front - by seven months on I look like most women at term. By the end I am a walking whale. I don't know why my body does it this way - I am tall but not very broad or large, and that huge bump in front just looks obscene, really; it does not even look like a part of me. DH jokes that the baby enters every room two seconds before I do.

I am 36 weeks now and no longer fit in my maternity clothes. Having to go up to huge sizes just to cover up. I'm so glad to have only a month to go - although my pregnancies always run late so very likely I actually have more like five or six weeks to hang on still. Trying to convince my OB to induce around 40 weeks - he is waffling.

the only thing i loved about being pregnant is them kicks. loved it! but other than that it is just horrible. im not looking forward to putting myself though all of that again but it's worth it when your hold that little baby in your arms in the end.
