your pregnancy complaints? or you like being pregnant?
ust wondering what any of you all want to complain about as far as being pregnant? and how far along you are?
i have a cousin that LOVES being pregnant! i don't know how. i am starting to rack up on complaints! 1st trimester i was just tired all the time & moody. 2nd trimester i felt great, had plenty of energy & was in such a better mood! but this last part.. i am close to 30 wks and i am starting to get miserable! i feel like a pig! i don't crave certain things, just everything i hear or if someone mentions it i want it lol. very bad with sweets. and being starved at like 4am a lot! i've always had a fear of being overweight & i have no idea what i should weigh now. but that is the least of my worries. my back hurts most of the time. i am sooo tired of peeing. it's very hard to even grocery shop b/c every time i stand up it's just sooo much pressure on my bladder. it is sooo miserable! if i have to pee a little i feel like i haven't got to go for a week! i am constipated like all the time! i miss taking hot baths & sleeping on my stomach. i wish i could take something like advil for a headache b/c tylenols DO NOT EVER WORK!! i have trouble sleeping. now i am getting heart burn a lot really bad! i can't wait to get my hair highlighted soon! i am getting TIRED a lot again and feeling lazy. not to mention i am very moody. one min. i am okay, then i'm sooo crabby, when i am not in the mood to just cry all day long. i have been feeling really depressed on/off. i am bored and cannot wait till my baby gets here. i feel like there is nothing really to do but to go shopping. movie theaters are rough b/c my back hurting so bad! and having to pee a lot! i get headaches off/on mainly in the middle of the night! i am really missing my old clothes i can't fit in now! i feel like i wear the same clothes all the time :( right now i am to the point where as bad as i wanted to be pregnant i hate to even see a HPT commercial on TV right now LOL. it's definitely harder to get around now as i am feeling the extra weight in my belly hehe.
i know not much longer! it's moving quick, but at the same time it is dragging. less than 3 weeks till my next 4D ultrasound! can't wait! it's been a long journey but an amazing experience and it will all be worth it. i plan on having another baby in 3 years or so. i know women do this all the time. but it's not exactly a picnic. i know why they said last trimester is worst! i'm sure once i lay eyes on my son i'll forget all about this stuff going on now. i think i am just anxious for him to get here and getting frustrated with this waiting! and hormones are going crazy i guess!
so just wanted to know if anyone else is in the same boat feeling like complaining & just venting i guess. men do not seem to understand! they think they do lol. i mean my hubby has been right there by my side and puts up with my griping about everything. i give him that... but they get the easy part of having kids ;)

1. I LOVED being pregnant (most of the time)!2. So far, the only complaint I have is morning sickness... but, I'm only 7 weeks so I have a long way to go.
3. I am not as far along as you i'm still in my first trimester and after everything I have gone through so far makes me not want to have any more babies.
4. I hate it. i feel ugly. I am tired all the time and really moody... and I have a 1 year old to put up with all on my own. Everyone acts like I'm broken just cause I am 20 weeks pregnant. My mom yelled at me for trying to carry her cat litter up stairs for her. My mother in law wasn't going to let me go on my trip to new york. It's getting really aggravating. With my son I didn't have anyone to tell me what to do or anyone touching my belly... I just want to beat the crap out of those people.
5. i read all of that then and it sounded as if id written it lol
i hate being pregnant, the worry, the heaviness, the rules of not eating certain foods, sleeping on back, getting in and out of cars, not being able to bend down properly, of course the end result is very much rewarding, but does it have to be so bloody hard?
saying that you hear of women sailing through it all and it makes you feel like a hypochondriac to say the least.
im 39 weeks pregnant now and labour day is looming in, im dreading that too, but at the same time i cant wait to get back to my old self, im a different person when im pregnant.
and no i wont be having anymore children ha-ha
take care and good luck x
6. When I was pregnant with my son i loved it, everyone was nicer to me and it was an amazing feeling. Now that i am prego with my second child(hopefully a girl) I hate it..i have horrible morning sickness and im craving weird things...i sure it will get better but when does this mornign sickness end?!!! LOL
7. With my first two I absolutely loved it. I was also quite a bit younger and in excellent shape. Now I'm just like blugh. My stomach feels so full and it's hard for me to breathe sometimes. I basically feel like crap most of the time. As with the sweets...... I feel your pain sis! And I can't eat the stuff that's not so bad. I want cake and glazed donuts, brownies. I'm sorry. Anyway. Have you ever seen Heroes? Well My fiance and I watch it and he said he was jealous because I was one of them (then he started patting my fat belly). I got pissed at him, but I know he was only trying to be sweet. So, think of it like that. Like a super power that has it's downfalls. (And you're right, men do not understand!)
8. so far I can only complain about
water retention (some days is HELL)
cravings that are BAD (chocolate chip cookies, desserts, tortas)
heartburn
back pain
I hate sleeping on my left side
I'm 20 pounds heavier
I'm clumsy
my boobs are itchy
i have to pee very often
I only love being pregnant because I'm being spoiled by my family.
9. I have to say i'm one of the luckier ones, and i'm very greatful for it. I haven't had a tough pregnancy at all. I mean I had the morning sickness and headaches, but apart from that, it was smooth sailing. But since the 3rd trimester I have been having heartburn and backaches constantly. I think that's about it though... I'm due new years eve and I feel like it's never going to get here though!
10. I am 24 weeks and 1 day pregnant. My complaints are that I constantly wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Also, the baby, even as I type this, enjoys kicking me in the bladder. I've been lucky with a pretty good pregnancy. I'm very tired recently, very hungry, and have back pain. However, I really didn't get sick or have any problems. Those would be my big complaints.
