I really don’t understand women who say they enjoy being pregnant 😔

Don’t get me wrong, this baby was planned and is very much wanted and loved, but I hate feeling this way. I am getting depressed from the nausea and exhaustion. I only leave the house for work. Please tell me I’m not the only one who feels this.

I feel you mama.

i feel you my mom says she enjoyed it but i don’t understand how you could enjoy being sick and tired snd in pain and uncomfortable !

Even with the exhaustion, crazy everything and nausea. Growing a person feels like a super power. It does totally suck. So it’s like living this juxtaposition constantly. I couldn’t wait to get pregnant again and I was a miserable planet, anxiety ball of exhaustion by the end of my first pregnancy. The first thing I said when they handed me him once the c section drugs wore off, was and I quote “I want to do it again”!!!

I enjoyed it for the most part but I had terrible restless legs

@Liv-Kat I’m already getting the amnesia. I had horrible cramps around 6-7 weeks that had me crying in the fetal position and now I can hardly remember them

@Maddy I will be having two under two because of it 😂. Planned, but didn’t expect it so fast.

I was never sick, or nauseous through my entire pregnancy just more tired then usual. So I actually enjoyed my whole pregnancy! But I did not enjoy my 3 day induction process lol

I loved it and miss it and can’t wait to be pregnant again. All I had was slight heartburn if I laid on my back too long as some pelvic pain in the last trimester. I loved having my baby with me and feeling her growing and moving! I know everyone has a different experience though and I completely get why some wouldn’t want to do it again and didn’t enjoy it

I, too, hated it. From 12 weeks on, I was in the hospital with a kidney infection every months. My ferritin was so low I required iron infusions and I ended up in the hospital with preeclampsia for 3 weeks before she was born, 5 weeks early. We knew this would be a "one and done" for me, but I didn't expect SO many complications. 😮‍💨 We went through 3 years of IVF to get our miracle baby, and we have more embryos, but a sibling for Penny will require a surrogate. I can't put my body (or my husband's emotions) through that again.

My main thing is my anxiety I feel like I can’t let my self enjoy because I always think the worst. Also the pain! The sickness. I don’t regret my baby at all. ! I’m so in love with him already.

I always say I’m glad I didn’t start having kids till I was older as I would have loads by now as I found pregnancy ok but I am lucky and don’t seem to get any sickness just a bit more tired which Is fine . Maybe if I go for a number 3 it could be different. But so far this pregnancy is the exact same as my first c
