Hate being pregnant

Me! I love my daughter but pregnancy was soooo rough. I already know for sure I don’t want to go through that again. I was counting the days til it was over. I felt like every pain brought on another new pain.

Same here. Couple weeks ago I had a breakdown, cried for hours . I was so devastated, explaining my partner how I feel about being pregnant. He said its just the hormones. I felt bad,cause I was reading everyday about mamas experiencing the joy of pregnancy and me on the other side just complaining. There a good and bad days,but I know its worth it. Just trying to stay positive through all. 🥰

Me too, really hate being prégnant 😥😥😥

I hated being pregnancy, have no idea how people enjoy it! X

I'm pretty sure its a lie that men came uo with so they can get laid and reproduced!!! As non of this is fun its pain after another pain after another

Ughh me too. I had no idea my body would change so much. Aside from morning sickness which is all day sickness for me, my hair has become weak my gums bleed and one of my crowns actually fell out cause my gums are weaker now. I feel tired all the time and all I wanna do is sleep. I never felt more useless, eventhough I know I'm building a baby and I'm happy about that.

Omg me too. I’m only 11 weeks but I just do not like this!

Its hell my little one has been constantly moving for the last few days. Im tired 😔 and in pain. So so over this suprised people do its more then once. Of how that one family have 22 kids 🙄🙄🙄

I absolutely hated being pregnant, suffered the worst morning sickness, constantly out of breath, the heartburn was horrific but now my little one is here I miss being pregnant, it’s a weird feeling😂

The out of breath is on point. Literally kissing my boyfriend I can’t even cause I get out of breath lol.

You are not alone I feel like death on day to day basis and like I tell my husband I love our son but I’m so ready not to be pregnant no more I just want my son to healthy and born on time but man pregnancy is kicking my ass

1 reply

I feel like death regularly too. I do have my good moments and am grateful for those and I’m close to the end now which is so hard because I’m in prodromal labor but it seems like every other day I have a bad day. I live for the good moments and praise God for those because I’m constantly in pain with contractions, back pain, restless leg, constipation, on and on. This is definitely my last baby.

Same! I can’t wait to have my little one but I hate this whole process.

Yes!!! I love my baby & I want her more than anything in this world but I wish I could sleep until March when shes due!! Pregnancy has honestly killed me off. This is my first baby and I never want to be pregnant again😩xx

I legit hate pregnancy. I love my son and my little growing peanut but if I could skip the entire pregnancy thing, I would in a heartbeat. I don’t even have difficult pregnancies, I just don’t enjoy it. It’s ok to feel that way :)

I'm 18+4 FTM and can't believe I'm not even half way there! Really over it but feel guilty every time I feel like that because I know how lucky I should feel to have a healthy pregnancy when so many women can't or go through issues in theirs. Still, it's impossible to be positive all the time. I just want him here already.

Sometimes I feel really guilty too. I’ve been a trainwreck off the tracks with everything. My husband has been supportive but I’ve said some awful things because I’m telling you pain really makes people crazy. It’s still no excuse. I love him and he deserves great things for helping me so much. I also don’t regret our baby...we talk about this regularly but we both agree that this pregnancy has made me very ill and we are both worried about that part. We love our bun bun though but this is truly hell for me too. Sigh.

I hated being pregnant. I had severe morning sickness for 6+ months, horrible body aches, getting up 4-12 times at night to pee, placenta previa (so no sex and limited exercise most of the pregnancy), itching from cholestasis, and sciatica pain. I could barely walk the last few weeks. I also had several complications with delivery, like epidurals not working and placental abruption. I've other moms tell me how great their pregnancy was so I guess their experience was not as bad. It was a bad experience overall but worth it.

My first 2 pregnancies were lovely, but carrying my latest addition was a living nightmare hell - detested every single day of it. There were some nice times such as kicks, hiccups (to a point, lol), stomach moving etc... I knew it would be worth it though, and it so is x

Yes!!!! You feel so bad saying it but it was truly horrible. I was sick all the time, couldn’t sleep super tired. It was so hard. You are not alone I felt the same way. I love my children but hated being pregnant.

I completely understand what you mean. I am so grateful to be pregnant because my husband and I tried for so long and we want it. But being pregnant absolutely sucks! And I hate that people don’t talk about it more. It’s uncomfortable and exhausting and sometimes downright frustrating. I’m only 10 weeks but it feels like it’s already been a lifetime. I wasn’t prepared for this because no one (at least no one I know) ever discusses it. It’s as if women have been conditioned to believe we can’t complain even though it’s happening to us! I am so excited for my baby to be here but this is probably it for me. I can’t imagine purposely putting myself through this again, lol. I hope everything goes smoothly for you! ❤️

You hit the nail on the head there! I think we as women must be conditioned not to complain because I don’t understand why no woman has ever told me how horrendous this is!

Same here i always wanted like 2-3 kids but f doing this again. While i love seeing her on on the scan feeling the kick when its been awhile. But f do i want this over im on a smaller side so i can do feel every moment lately and its painful and sore. Yea i feel like i can't complain because it would be frown upon if i do but i do miss being able to get up with out some help or walk normally or pick things up when needed

Oooh I am soooo fed up now! I'm really grateful and pleased my baby is ok, so it makes me feel so guilty that I am so over being pregnant. The evening are the worst! I am so fed up of it all.

I’ve been over it since I first found out I was pregnant. This is not enjoyable at all!! I won’t miss it... I can’t wait to meet my baby girl tho 💗 5 more weeks ! Finally

OMG thank you for this post. I thought I was being so selfish ... I love my baby but I’m finding it so hard and also so anxious it’s absolutely doing my head in. I’m grateful after two late losses but I can’t wait for baby to be here and not have to suffer all these pains , uncomfortableness and so on to go

I hated being pregnant! I can’t say I enjoyed it. The only bit that gave me a little bit of happiness was when I could feel my baby moving around. Other than that it was not in to it! I just worried through the whole pregnancy that I was going to lose her. I was so relieved (and worried) when they decided to induce me 3 weeks early. xx

2 replies

Because they thought she had stopped growing. They decided it was safer to get her out at 37 weeks. xx

Hey hun can I ask why they induced you 3 weeks early x

It's part n parcel of the change dear. Don't feel guilty. It's natural. Let it out then only u 'll b able to give ur best. Everyone feels it at some point. Your hormones also play an important role

I absolutely hated being pregnant. I felt like I had zero control over my body! Love my son to death but I definitely did not enjoy the pregnancy like everyone expects you to.

I feel this on a personal level, I'm 25 weeks and between backaches, morning sickness, and all the restrictions pregnancy is not what I've expected AT ALL. Like you said I love my little baby girl that's in there but I'm soooooooo OVER THIS PREGNANCY, and just ready to have my body back and my baby in my arms 😇🥰

Yes!! I hated it the first time around and this time.. 29 weeks and feel like this can’t end soon enough! 😩

I go through stages. The beginning I’m so sick I regret everything and can’t eat because I am so nauseous and throwing up. Then I love it. Then I get too much pain again and then it’s alright again 😂

It’s a rollercoaster of emotions

Had 2 kids, hated both pregnancies. I love my babies, but pregnancy takes a toll on your mind and your body. You are definitely not alone in that

Yes!! I have hated all of it, been so ill. Will never do this again. And today at my 31 week check up I found out I’m measuring 33 weeks, I can’t describe the happiness of feeling like he might be here 2 weeks early, I didn’t realise how down I’ve been my whole pregnancy until today when I smiled lots and realised I hadn’t smiled in such a long time!! He’s head down already too, what a good boy 💙xxx

You are not alone

You don’t have to love your pregnancy to love your baby! 💕 id do my labour five times over if I could skip the pregnancy part haha xxx

Yep I hated every second of it. Totally in love with my baby though but the thought of doing it again is putting me off having another

I understand how u feel it is hard I have a lot of nausea headaches and dizziness. Just remember you won't be pregnant forever and do things to relax and pamper yourself.

Yes! And honestly I always think people that ‘love being pregnant’ must be lying? Still grateful for it though backpain and all

I love being pregnant but my little sister hates it she cried every day and to her the worse part was feeling movement she wouldn’t even rub her stomach cas she thought it would in courage baby to move more it’s definitely hard but look at us we doing it anyway and that’s real love to take yourself to the breaking point to do what you don’t like for the good of your baby I’m proud of all moms but especially moms that dislike pregnancy cas they doing it from a place of pure love

Could have wrote this myself - and i always feel ungrateful for admitting it because i know there are women who would die to be in my position! Loved my first pregnancy but having a shit time this time around (not to mention the mom guilt i feel for my daughter). Cannot wait for it to be OVERRRR and have him here 💙

100% agree, I don't like being pregnant. The kicks are lovely, but the bodily and hormonal changes I hated. Crying and getting mad at the slightest thing? Yeah I feel unhinged!! This is my last time tho so I am trying to savour it as much as I can. Can't wait to have my body and mind back tho!

I hated being pregnant, grateful to be able to get pregnant and have a healthy baby but it’s the worst feeling being pregnant!! It’s so long and tiring, always out of breath, can’t paint toes can’t eat everything and everyday is a worry ‘is she moving enough’ ‘oh is that pain normal’ the kicks alone are enough to make you feel sick lol I’m doing it once more hopefully then that’s it! 😂x

I’m 36 weeks with my first baby boy💙and yes I totally agree with you!. I love the movements, scans, baby shopping, doing the nursery etc but when it actually comes to being pregnant and stuff it can be hard after I’ve had my baby boy I’m going on contraception x

I think this should definitely be normalised cos I’ve been surprised how rough I’ve found it when you see so many people saying how beautiful and amazing it is!! So far I haven’t enjoyed one bit and spent the whole time worrying☹️

Exactly 🙃

It's like the worlds best kept secret. People expect you to be glowing and wonderful but some of us are sick as a dog tired and uncomfortable and it seems like it's not as ok to say so.

Ftm are getting the short end of the stick here too with this pandemic looming over us, pregnancy dos and donts along with discomforts are bad enough without the worry and stress of covid!

You telling me only seen my midwife once for not even 10min 😑. Im 31 weeks tomorrow was supposed to see my midwife next week but the appointment got moved to over the phone

I've hated it so far and I'm gutted because I'm one of them that's always wanted babies and dreamed of being pregnant. I'm really hoping the next few weeks will feel different but the first trimester has been utterly vile!

1 reply

You’re absolutely in the thick of feeling like utter rubbish, I promise the second trimester is better! Then it goes downhill again for the third, BUT it’s better than the first still! Third trimester is uncomfortable and tiring, more than anything xxx

I couldn’t agree more! There’s brief periods where I have thought this isn’t that bad... I can do it but they are few and far between! I’m now 39 +2 and completely and utterly fed up. I don’t think the pandemic has helped either with a lack of out reach and places to meet others but you are not alone xx

I am in this camp so firmly. I can’t wait to have my baby here and am excited to be a mom but I can’t stand this whole pregnancy thing! Tired of all the physical symptoms and anxiety and exhaustion.

Same here, I’m counting days like crazy. I spend more time looking at my calendar than anything. I mean I love the idea, and like someone else said I’m grateful that I’m able to get pregnant but lord it’s so uncomfortable, plus I have a 3 years old. I’m only 17weeks🥵 wish I was like 38 or some like that

2 replies

I’m jealous lol, you so far along, only few more weeks to go. My first came at 31weeks I’m praying this one stays longer this time. But yeah 36weeks you almost there

I look at the calendar constantly now too. I’m trying to figure out my symptoms and what date she might come on. I’m 36 weeks today and feel like I can’t go on. My pelvis hurts and I have cramps. My first came at 36 weeks so I’m apprehensive but watch this one try to kill me and go longer. Lol! ahhhhhhh!

The second thing I said after they pulled my son out (c section) was omg I'm not pregnant anymore!!! Hell yes!! I hated it a lot

Thanks for sharing this. I'm only 9 weeks pregnant and I am so happy but just feel down and ill all the time. Hoping it passes and I start enjoying this...

Hi I’m 11 weeks and so far all I do is worry, take sad naps, feel isolated in a COVID sad bubble, worry more, and fart. So yeah, friend..... feels. Haha I also truly believe it is okay to not like pregnancy. I always knew I wouldn’t be the “Mother Gaia flows me hashtag blessed” type, but also know I’ll be an incredible Mom. You shouldn’t either! My sister said the only moments she enjoyed pregnancy was when she found out nothing was wrong, she had one and never tried again, and is the best mother in the world. Pregnancy DOES NOT define parenthood. You’re killing it.

I’m on my second pregnancy and will NEVER do this again. I said that after my first I’m sure 😂 But my partner and I always wanted two so I’ve gone and got knocked up 🤣 Actual last time though, this is so hard the second time round. So hard. Xx

Yep, I have found myself in a love hate relationship with pregnancy I love that I’m am growing a baby but 31 weeks now and I’ve had enough everything hurts and I’m permanently exhausted. Counting down the days.
