So hard. So uncomfortably, exhaustingly, anxiety-inducingly hard. Don't even get me started about stairs...
Yes! It’s hard and people don’t talk about it enough.. I thought I was crazy. People would walk the other way. I felt alone during pregnancy
All of these replies are so valid! I am so happy to be growing my tiny miracle but everyone expects pregnant women to always be so blissful and grateful and not complain because we get to be pregnant. I even had to wait years before I could even get pregnant but it doesn’t mean it’s not hard to be this tired, sick and emotionally mind fucked for 10 months. I wish it was talked about more so we wouldn’t feel bad for feeling so outside of our mind and body from hormones and rapid physical changes. I mean I feel like there’s literally an emotional terrorist in my brain sometimes but it’s just me-I am the emotional terrorist 😂
Yeah for sure! I'm pregnant at the exact time in life that I always wanted to be. So I definitely chose this. But it is sooooo difficult! There are so many weird symptoms I didn't even know would be a thing, but they are! 37 weeks!! Just a couple more to go! I'm soooo excited to not be pregnant anymore, and just meet my sweet baby
@Meagan AMEN to all of that! I’ll be 28 weeks on Monday so I’m getting closer! 🥰
I feel you 100% First trimester: Extreme nausea, vomit, depression, and exhaustion to the point that I couldn’t eat more than just crackers and bananas. Second trimester: Hormones are wild, signed up for Therapy because I’ve been so depressed and anxious. 25 weeks now and I’m trying to enjoy the last few months left and being more gentle with myself by reminding me that this is HARD and I am doing my best 
@Kim 10000% accurate 🙌. We’re so close!!
@Kim I had all of the exact same things. My therapist had me write down a few positive things that I was looking forward to. And that has helped tremendously!
Yes we are all doing our best! 💪🏻😊 Stay strong mammas!
@Meagan love that! Will definitely give it a try 🫶
Omg yes hard af
So hard!! I feel like everyone keeps this very quiet until it happens 😂
Can absolutely relate. Horrific sickness, even now at 32 weeks. The fatigue, the heart burn, the lack of sleep omg the list is long. I cannot wait till my body is no longer held hostage. It’ll be worth it.
Yep, pregnancy is so hard! I have some close friends who loved being pregnant and they had this ethereal glow about them for each of their pregnancies. Whereas people direct me to underneath the nearest bridge. Everything hurts and I done.

I'm grateful my symptoms aren't worse but I also struggle to breathe 😅 the mixed emotions are so real. I have the glow and I do love being pregnant but I'm also tired dangit lol
I'm 22 weeks with a 14 mo old at home (and a 13 yr old out of state) and all I'm going to say is 2 pregnancies in 2 years in my 30s is kicking my ass and I was a roofer before these 2 and could kick ass. Now I'm a soggy piece of bread
I have been surprised with how hard it is and the fact that no one talks about it. I have felt ashamed of how hard it has been for me. The physical and mental impacts all have taken me by surprise. But we are 28 weeks now and soon I'll have my miracle baby.
Yes i’m so tired of puking 😑
