Struggling

I feel exactly the same charlotte. It’s such a weird time!

I’ve not enjoyed pregnancy so far either, I’ve been struck down with sickness too. Always feeling tired despite eating healthy going to the gym and sleeping plenty… it is frustrating! It’s good to vent though.. talk to your partner about it too. We’ve discussed booking a little trip to look forward to, if you can make sure you get things in the diary you’d enjoy!

I think most women don't like being pregnant! The only positive is all the special treatment you get and the relief of the 2nd trimester. I imagine the ones who have a great time aren't getting morning sickness or they're just fibbing about loving it so much 😉 I read that some women find it so difficult they need therapy and some find feeling their baby move totally horrifying. So try not to judge yourself and seek help if you need it xx

Also 24 weeks and struggling, like you for the first 3 months I was so so sick, then I briefly felt better but now I'm really struggling with back pain and my mental health regarding my body changing, stretch marks, bullseye nipples, eczema and I'm pretty sure alopecia on my legs and eyebrows?? It's a lot to wrap my head around. I can't wait for baby boy to be here!! I'm hoping antenatal classes and more regular midwife appointments help it speed along x

I'm 21 weeks and I'm truly struggling this time (3rd pregnancy). My other 2 were a dream all the way through. This time, got HG sickness which hasn't let up yet, frequent migraines, pelvic girdle pains since 16 weeks, long bouts of insomnia, and chronic fatigue to boot! Luckily my 1st born is now 18 years old, but my 2nd born is only 3.5 years old (both boys) so I have to manage his entertainment as much as I can. This time, expecting a girl and she's already making herself known rather proudly! I also have other symptoms I never had during my other pregnancies such as all body itching, blurry vision (hormones as confirmed by specialists) etc. I can't wait for her to be here so I can eventually have my body back to myself.

I'm not enjoying it at all either, I want the bubba but it's mainly been anxiety, depression struggles along with severe morning sickness and uti after uti, just been so stressed lately about everything

I've spoken to a few family members and they have said that they loved pregnancy but I'm convinced its hormones tricking them into wanting another one because I just don't feel it!!

I've not liked most of my pregnancy, even said to my partner I like being able to count down the weeks to my due date now that I'm 20 weeks instead of counting up 😂. I had a rant yesterday about how everyone says 2nd trimester is the easiest and you feel so energised and generally better!! Can someone tell my body that because my morning sickness has gotten worse, my PGP is at an all time high, I'm more anxious than ever and I'm back to going to sleep mega early because of the tiredness 😫!

Yep. Struggling mentally and physically really just want time to go faster now because I am not enjoying it at all sadly. Here if you need to reach out ❤️

Honestly I’m 20 weeks and I feel exactly the same!

I’m 23 weeks and a SW too! Feeling the same as you, feel free to message x

This is my third pregnancy and I am the same, 0 motivation, feel like I'm constantly moaning about one ailment or another, hormonal and emotional and it just feels like it's going so SLOW. Can't wait for him to just be here already. X
