Let me first start by saying that I am so blessed and lucky to be carrying my second child. I am lucky to have gotten pregnant so easily. And I want more than anything for this child to be born at least 37 weeks.
With that said...I really hate being pregnant!
Yes, the end result is amazing and I know that more the second time now that I have Brayden. It's a means to an end and the end is good!
I know some women revel in pregnancy and enjoy it immensely. I am not one of the women. Maybe the weeks and weeks of morning (all day) sickness cloud my vision and the fact that I am now high risk, but it's really not for me.
I can't wait to find out what we are having and feel that baby move, which I think I am feeling flutters at 13 weeks. But gaining weight, not sleeping, peeing 20x a day and 5x at night, taking progesterone shots, not feeling like myself, acne, sore boobs...all that I can live without.
I am trying not to complain this time and enjoy as much as I can but I'm looking forward to meeting baby and (hopefully) having a healthy a healthy term baby. I know that pregnancy is unfortunately not a guarantee of a perfect 40 week baby.
I am crossing my fingers this kiddo stays put and I will do everything I can to ensure he/she does. I am hoping for a cool summer and only a 35-40lb weight gain.
All in all pregnancy really is a blessing and something not everyone is able to do and having a child is a miracle and a gift. I love being a mom and I will be happy to not be pregnant anymore!

I understand. I was sick until 16 weeks with Cooper and 18 with Casen so I understand not loving pregnancy. And last time I swelled horribly so I expect the same. I hope your pregnancy gets better and goes by fast!
I understand. I was miserable my first pregnancy even though I was over joyed. I conceived through IVF after 3 long years. I hated complaing because people would look at me so crazy because I had worked so hard for it. But, the truth is no one wants to see the bottom of every toilet at every place. I have just had my second FET to get pregnant. I have been on progesterone injections for a couple of weeks now. They will make you feel even more horrible than just being pregnant. A lot of your symptoms can be attributed to the PIOs. You can take B6 vitamins and it will help with nausea. My RE recommends them. Hope you get to feeling better and for a full term baby!
Ha! This is great! People always look at me like I'm crazy when I say that pregnancy is not fun! It's a lot of work and I know it's worth it in the end but that still doesn't make it easy! I had a tough time with my first but my second seems to be going much smoother. I don't even realize I'm pregnant this time (now that the sickness seems to be over) but I can't wait for those kids and hiccups too! That's the best part about it.
But you make such a cute preggo!!!! But I completely understand honey. There are some not-so-fun parts to pregnancy that is for SURE!!!!! And if this crappy weather keeps up...I think a cool summer will be in your future :-) But on the next nice day, we NEED TO GO SHOPPING!!!!
HAPPY PREG BELLY
