Miserable

I might be the only one that thinks this but I honestly hate being pregnant. From day 1 it has just been misery and sickness, I don’t feel like myself anymore and it has put a strain on my mental health and relationship. I stopped wanting to be intimate and my partner has said I have stopped caring about the relationship. I honestly have not done so intentionally, it is hard to get out of this funk. I’m 28 weeks and the baby has started moving and kicking which in the beginning brought some joy but when I don’t feel movements, I only feel anxiety and then misery kicks in again. We have been to triages few times when really concerned and when I hear or see baby girl I feel some relief but it is often short lived. I am honestly counting down the days until I see baby girl and start to feel like me. I don’t really have a question. I think I just needed to get this solely out of my head. Good luck mamas ❤️🩷🩵❤️

Oh honey, I can safely say I have not enjoyed being pregnant! I have said to so many people I feel guilty for not enjoying it as there are people who would kill to be in my position! I am SO grateful for my sweet girl, but I am very ready for pregnancy to be over and for her to be with me!🫶🏼 You’re not alone in feeling like this and if you want to talk, my messages are open!! It could also be a good idea to speak to your midwife as she may be able to help you!🩷 Sending you so much love🩷

I feel the exact same. Your not on your own. Other women have said you should love being pregnant but I honestly don't like it at all. I want to be back to myself. I will try every method to get him out early as I can't wait to meet him though 💙. I've felt sick throughout the whole pregnancy too not pleasant at all. We have all got this ladies 👊

I feel the same! Absolutely hate being pregnant 😩 always wanted nothing more than to be a mum and cannot wait to have her here but think I thought being pregnant would be a hell of a lot more enjoyable than it is

I don’t enjoy being pregnant. I’m grateful everyday but I hate the anxiety that I have constantly

Thank you so much ladies. I honestly thought I was the only one going through it and didn’t want to burden family and friends. Appreciate hearing your story ❤️

You aren’t alone! I have hated being pregnant all 3 times and it has been so hard especially with a baby and now two toddlers (my boys will be 3 in April, 2 in June and baby g is due in Feb). With my first two I had severe HG and was hospitalised for dehydration, exhaustion, hospital trips for my second were a nightmare, I had to take my first and I had to go every week from 30 wks for growth scans, fetal monitoring and ob visits because they were worried about his growth, my ex partner was a POS and didn’t help with either of them and the only app he attended for my second was at 38+6 (he didn’t trust the male dr he’d never met to give me a cervical check!). It’s rough AF but after they were born slowly I returned to “normal” and I wouldn’t change having my babies for the world! It does get easier I know it’s the shittiest advice ever but I promise it does.

I feel the same. This is my second pregnancy, I didn't enjoy my first pregnancy as I just felt so unwell. I thought I would enjoy it more this time as it's the last time I will be pregnant but I have enjoyed this pregnancy even less. I feel bad for wishing the pregnancy away but I really don't like being pregnant. Not even enjoying the kicks this time which was the only enjoyable part of pregnancy last time. Just sick of being in pain and uncomfortable. I cannot relate at all to people who enjoy being pregnant. Pregnancy is such a tiny part of being a parent and it's totally valid to not enjoy it.
