I can relate to what you're feeling. On the one hand, I'm so happy to finally have a pregnancy go longer than 7 weeks or so, but on the other hand, some days i just feel like "what was i thinking?". This pregnancy has been alot harder, symptom wise, than my last two. I realize there are many, many women out there that would kill to be pregnant at all, regardless of symptoms, and that makes me feel bad for having my own little pity party about how i feel, but then i have to remember that their experiences with pregnancy don't make mine any less important to me. If you have days where you feel completely miserable, that's ok! Just because someone else is having a harder time, doesn't mean your feelings don't count. Sites like this are supposed to be for ALL pregnant women to get support and friendship, regardless of how their pregnancies are going or how they feel about them. The belief that some women have, that you should prance around happy, 24/7, (continued)...

I agree with others on here that you are sensitive to those that have had trouble conceiving or cannot conceive at all (CTP page.) It took my husband and I 18 months to get pregnancy with our second. I have not had the best pregnancy this time around and don't want to complain either because I am blessed to be able to have another baby and have relatively few complications, none of which require constant monitoring. The second trimester was much better and my patience seemed to return a bit. Getting up 8 times a night...how many hours is the duration? Is it in a 6 hour span or 10 hour span? In about 7 hours, I get up 3-4 times now, but it was a lot more in the first trimester. In any regards, talk to your doctor to rule out a UTI and just hang in there. You will have your little one soon enough and all the difficulties of pregnancy will become a blurry memory. Good luck.

Wow! Thank you everyone! I went to the hospital last nite because I had vertigo. They checked on the baby. He was bouncing around. It was amazing. I am truly blessed. I have 2 more weeks until the second trimester. I will hang on. I will talk to my doc about a UTI. Im feeling better today because I slept well and took a nap. Again, thank you for being supportive. Praying that we all have healthy pregnancys and healthy babies.

It wasn't until 14 weeks that i started to feel well. I spent from week 7 -14 with my head down the toilet, lethargic, tired, ill in general. I thought it would never end. I was moody to the point of rage. I got to 14 weeks and it vanished. My main symptom is i get irritated easy, but my energy is high i'm not feeling sick and i am coping and enjoying this part of my pregnancy otherwise. Things will get better x

Well, I am not sure if you are the one who posted this on the CTP side, but I have some friends still over on that side that seemed pretty steamed up about either a journal entry or question like this. I felt pretty bad for them reading something like that. Still do....but I am no comfort because I am pregnant myself and am now an outsider over on the CTP side.
I am not sure what to say to this honestly....I wish I only had your problems in pregnancy. I have an 8cm blood clot next to my baby that is over my cervix causing me to bleed every day. I have to go for ultrasounds every week...never knowing if my baby will live to viability. Try dealing with that every day of your pregnancy. Its awful. With all that said, I dont hate being pregnant.....I am grateful....but hate having a blood clot.
All I can say is second trimester should be better for you in regards to the moodiness and emotions you feel.
