Is anyone actually enjoying pregnancy ?

So this is my first baby (probably my last too cause wth😭) and omg, the road has been long. I wouldn’t say I’ve enjoyed any part of it but I also feel very ungrateful for complaining. I see these other pregnant women on TikTok and it seems like they are having a blast. Like how does someone even have more than 2 kids??

It’s okay to be both incredibly grateful for being pregnant, but also hating everything that comes with it. Your body is going through a lot.. emotionally and physically.. the changes are immense and there are days that are going to be incredibly hard and that’s okay. Give yourself some grace, and know that more of us struggle than you think.. it’s always okay to reach out for help if you need it šŸ¤— x

Legit, the only good thing that I would say I’ve had is seeing her on the ultrasound and then feeling her kick but even her kicks are getting harder and starting to hurt 😭😭

This is my 3rd baby and I feel like I'm enjoying this one a lot more than my other 2. No aches or pains and I feel good. Hope you start to feel better

Don't beat yourself up about it, I totally understand how you are feeling. I'm not enjoying being pregnant either. Pregnancy is tough on your bodies, we are building a tiny human and that is hard work. If your nausea is not gone yet speak to your midwife what could help you with it. Some women eat ginger biscuits, for me Lemon sherbets helped a lot, maybe one of those things might help you.
You are not ungrateful, it is a rough time you are going through especially with lack of sleep.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

First pregnancy!

I’m nearly 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby! I never realised how hard this part of pregnancy is. Just having the test, no one around you knowing, living anxious constantly and the exhaustion wow!!!

How’d you know you were close to labor?

I’m a little over 32 weeks but baby has been measuring a lot bigger at every scan for a while now. I get scans every week because the doctor suspects I have mild preeclampsia. She said with how big he has been measuring she wouldn’t be surprised if he came early even though I’m due December 1st. She is thinking maybe as early as mid November. I’m worried and overthinking everything hoping he doesn’t come earlier than that (though trust me I want him out šŸ˜…). I’ve been having cramping and Braxton hicks among other things. But no steady contractions and my water hasn’t broke or anything yet. I was curious what ā€œnon typicalā€ signs of labor anyone has experienced? Did you get more or less emotional, were you more or less constipated, did you have any specific pains, etc? It’s my first baby so I have no clue what labor will look like for me and I know it’s different for everyone but I just need some reassurance that I’ll be able to recognize it when the time is close or here

She’s cominggggg🄹

Alright ladies, I’m officially coming into that final stretch!! I’m 31 weeks on Saturday.
I would love any and all advice. Anything you’re thinking ā€œoh I should definitely tell her thatā€ tell me. I want real don’t try to sugar coat or try not to scare me I want it all!! lol
Things I should not be worried about but might, things that people make a big deal about but it’s not, things I absolutely need to prepare, things I absolutely don’t, etc. šŸ˜…
