Done being pregnant. Help!

I felt like this with 7 weeks left I remember ringing my friend who’s a midwife who gave me a stern talking to about what life would be like if I gave birth 7 weeks prem. There are things you can do from 36 weeks to stop you going over. Which she helped me with. I know the last months of pregnancy is hard but every day your little one gets stronger and every day gets you closer

I’m at the same stage as you and feel the exact same! I’m sick of feeling sick and being sick, I’m tired, I hate the stretch marks! Everyone says that I should enjoy it but I can’t wait for it to be over! We can do this! Try and keep positive xxx

I think the people who say that are romanticizing a memory. You are living real life. Enjoy the enjoyable parts. Muddle through the rest. It's okay to not be happy sometimes.

I’m at this stage too. Just trying to remember how I don’t want him to be earlier than 37 weeks 😊

I hit that block with my first! I’d had enough and everyone and everything could whistle. Idiots told me it’s the most beautiful fat I’d ever be! Here I am 17 months later 6 months pregnant with my second. X

I feel exactly like this and have felt this way from about 10 weeks, this pregnancy has really tested me physically and mentally, I know for sure after this pregnancy I will never put myself through it again. I feel like it has stopped me from bonding with the baby as I haven't thought about anything other than how much longer I have left!! Big hugs to you, I know how bad it is when you don't feel the pregnancy 'glow' xxx

I felt the exact same way and let me tell you once that baby pops out you forget about. Everything you went through for those 9 months and what you feel after you deliver. Your so overwhelmed by this amazing gift you got and it all goes away ! Someone told me that while I was pregnant and didn’t believe it for one moment but it is so true! Breath and give it time momma ❤️

It really is enough I had a c-section and three months was perfect for me! Everyone is different but we are all strong mommas! :)

I’m with you! I hate being pregnant and won’t be doing it again. You don’t have to love pregnancy or anything about it; that’s unrealistic and every woman is different.

Same here! 6 weeks left with my second and I never felt this way with my first! I want to cry every day because of all the pain and sickness but I just try to remind myself to be strong because I would be devastated to birth before 37 weeks and have to leave my Bub at hospital. Sending you love x

Same!! Im only half way but have had a rough time with HG (still vomiting even now 😩) and feel like I haven't felt well since before being pregnant. I know I never want to do this again, but hate the judgement and sceptical remarks I get if I admit that...people can be so condescending and its infuriating!! X

Last trimester drags and your uncomfy. It's ok to feel over it. Focus on the fact that the longer bub is in there the better it is for bub. Once bub is here it's amazing. You're creating life. That's tough. Well done. Take time to relax xx

Don’t feel guilty, being pregnant sucks most of the time! It’s bloody hard growing a tiny human, I was exhausted the whole 9 months. From 36 weeks just try and get things moving along - lots of walks, sex, raspberry leaf tea, dates etc. I got my little girl out 10 days early so luckily didn’t have to suffer waiting for her to come. It was obviously worth it to get her but I will 100% not be doing it again 😂 sending you lots of love. You can do this! Not long to go now! Xx

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your honesty

You’re definitely not alone! I’m only halfway at 20 weeks and haven’t enjoyed being pregnant at all so far. I feel sick and tired all the time, my body has changed so much and doesn’t feel like it’s mine anymore, the simplest of tasks are difficult.. Everything is just so hard. I’ve felt guilty over it a lot because everyone says how special and exciting it all is, but it’s hard to feel that way when everything is a struggle and you feel like crap! Everyone’s experience is different and you shouldn’t feel guilty for yours❤️

I feel the exact same way! I have 11 more weeks, can’t sleep, can’t eat what I want (because of gestational diabeties), I can’t breathe, cleaning is hard and I’m just exhausted all day long. I feel like I’m not getting anything accomplished and my customers (I’m a seamstress) are starting to complain. Ugh.

35 weeks here and feeling the exact same. I have hated being pregnant. I dont ever want to be pregnant again

I have cried so many times. And not tears of joy. Tears of misery. Like I just don't want to be pregnant. Then it messes with my head and I think well maybe I don't want a baby. But when I was feeling 100 percent in the beginning I was excited. Now I'm just bleh.

I feel exactly the same (34+5 now) and have through most of my pregnancy, I definitely want more kids but I wish I didn’t ever have to go through this again and also feel awful for not treasuring it and enjoying it like everyone keeps telling me to!

Enjoying this honesty 😂 people get so precious about how miraculous this is, truth be told this baby has wrecked my body and I’m fucking bored. Get out and let me get myself back!

Great comment 😂😂😂

My waters broke at 34+6. I thought I wanted it to be over, but once that happened, I really wanted to keep her in for a few days or weeks more. Held out until 35+5 in the hospital. I'm now pregnant with my 2nd and part of me is terrified of another early delivery, another part wishes for it... it saved me 4 weeks of agony, and my bub was fine. She came home with us. During my 1st I kept asking myself why and how on earth do women keep having multiple children after knowing how much it sucks... and here I am. Once it's done, you'll be like "meh, I survived it once, I can do it again". Or not... and that's ok, too. No need to feel guilty, it's hard work and it messes with your head and body in a massive way.

I get days like this! I'm absolutely scunnered now at 34 weeks and was crying the past few days because I'm so over it! Everything you feel I feel 😩 I had a good night sleep last night for the first time in ages so today has been a good day. Apart from difficulty breathing and a foot trying to rip my stomach open its been good. Pray for tomorrow 🤣🤦 I feel guilty sometimes because I've wanted this for so long but we're allowed to feel like this! Hang in there 👏

32 weeks pregnant and was having the worst rsl and hip pain, I started taking more magnesium vitamins and I feel 100% mind you I have a toddler I’m constantly chasing after playing with so I kinda have no choice and have to suck it up. Hang in there mama we’re almost there.

🙋‍♀️ hi I hate being pregnant. Mother Gaia does NOT flow through me. I also know I’ll be an incredible Mom. The two aren’t related (for proof look at all the amazing step-Moms, adoptive Moms, and Mommas who have used surrogates). This is my planned one and only baby, with the option to adopt older kiddos in 5 years or so. You got this! Homestretch!!! Just remember that you don’t need to be all “#blessed live laugh love” about pregnancy to have done a damn good job of it and to be an amazing parent!!!!

I just dont understand how some women enjoy pregnancy, it is miserable!! Not to mention it's like an entire year to birth this human 9-10 Months to bake then 1-2 months to heal =12 Freaking Long Months!!!! I love the outcome but pregnancy sucks!

My last pregnancy was hell on earth!! I was happy I have other children as I kept telling myself that if this was my first, then it would be my last. However I found myself feeling broody when he was only 2 weeks old, lol x

Naw being pregnant sucks ESPECIALLY in your last trimester and I'll never feel bad about saying that.

Hey, I feel the same. Been super healthy (with obvious and normal rubbish ness in the first trimester) till 31 weeks and then started to not feel great and it’s just escalated from there. Having a few health issues, worry baby will come early, so in limbo with wanting baby to stay in and healthy, to being here and being ok. 🙈 now nearly 34 weeks and I just cannot wait to get to 37 and stop feeling guilty for wanting baby here now cause I know he’ll be ok. But yeah cannot wait for pregnancy to be over now and on with the next stage

The third trimester is tough. And you if you decide this is your only one that’s okay too!

prayer and meditation or anything in that form that helps you find your peace. itll be over before you know it, baby will be here and itll all feel like a dream. it will pass, be patient, love yourself, treat yourself to a nice day. time will fly you will see, wish you luck! stay strong momma you got this 💕

i was the exact same as you when i was pregnant. i was in a lot of pain so i was just counting down the days for my baby to come. i enjoyed it a little here and there, feeling her kicks and movements made me happy every time. that was the only bright side i could find during my pregnancy. It wasn’t until i had her where i found myself surprisingly and actually mourning my belly and pregnancy afterwards. i felt so empty because my entire life revolved around this pregnancy for 9 straight months (what i ate, what i did,) and in a matter of one hour (c section) it was all gone. i missed feeling her inside of me. it didn’t feel the same, and i kind of hated myself for not enjoying it as much the last few weeks, because after i had her, i realized it was all worth it, i got the most beautiful gift out of it, regardless of the pain i went through. i would do it all over again with her. it was such a special time, and we do need to remind ourselves we are doing something truly amazing and to-

be more kind to ourselves. one day you will find yourself looking back and miss it. enjoy the rest of the time u have, you only live this magical dream once. I wish i could relive my pregnancy one more time despite how much i hated it in the moment, i only wished i had done one thing different and it’s just enjoy it as much as u can!! it is only temporary and u only live it once. One day u will be looking back on this special time.❤️

you will get through this, you are at the final stretch. you got this. you made it this far these last few weeks will go by faster than you know it. until then just live in the moment and enjoy the little things for now..❤️

I haven't felt myself the whole way through. I'm 30 weeks and counting. I do think when I got to about 33 weeks with my first that was when I had had enough too. Hang in there. Not long to go xx

I felt like this during my pregnancy, so miserable. It will soon be over and you will have your baby. I now look back and wished I tried to focus on something positive about pregnancy. I look back at pictures and I miss some parts that I once hated ... eye on the prize! X

It’s okay to hate it-I hated every second. When I wasn’t puking I was in pain from being the size of a planet or from being kicked incessantly! It sucks and it’s okay to say so!!!! I’m sure you’ll get a million comments about “it’s so worth it” which is true but not helpful when you’re suffering. I remember when my induction date got pushed by a week and I cried SO HARD because I just wanted it to be over. And even one more week seemed like eternity As much as I hated it all I love my daughter and I’m willing to go through it again. But it definitely won’t be magical haha

I really don’t understand women who say they loved being pregnant! I feel like out of the whole thing you get a few weeks in the second trimester when you feel half human and that’s it. The first trimester you feel like death with all the tiredness and sickness and by the third your so worn out the size of a whale even breathing is a struggle that by then your just over being pregnant and then you have recovery 😅

I feel every word of this 😒

I feel your pain I’m done now to the pressure is unbearable now I’m pregnancy diabetes as well as pgp can’t sleep so moody and snappy nesting but can’t bend to where I want to clean 😢 and I really want a porn start Martini 🍸 x

I was miserable towards the end of my pregnancy. I'm convinced that the women who say they enjoyed "every" part of pregnancy are liars! Lol
