Q: MISERABLE! Please Read <3

First off, let me say that I am so blessed to be pregnant! So many women long to be that cannot. I do not want to sound ungrateful but my body has been going through a lot in such a short amount of time and it's not good. I would like to know if there are any other pregnant women who HATE being pregnant.

I have to get up to go to the bathroom 8 times a night! I've had restless sleep because of this. I tried not drinking anything before bed but sadly the frequent urge to go still remains. I'm exhausted throughout the day. I am moody and upset all day long. I snap at my husband and have little patience with my daughter. My attention span is zero. I don't really enjoy doing things that I love.

I HATE to complain but I just wanted people to talk to about this. I can't wait to see my 2nd baby! I am so lucky to be pregnant. I'm just sad and miserable and I want to feel better. With my first I had a very happy pregnancy :( (I'm 10 weeks pregnant btw)

ALos expressing ur emotions wether they are happy or sad does not mean u aren't appreciative or that u feel ur baby isn't a blessing. U can still be excited to have ur babe but that doesn't mean ur happy.

I think pregnancy is hard, and it's different for everyone, this is ur journey, and if u r finding it hard I believe u are entitled to complain, just because others have had there own experiences and they have been bad doesn't mean urs are any less important, it's great that u r being sensitive to others tho. I agree, I think ur problems are stemming from a broken sleep, this site is about support for all pregnant woman, just because u are having a miserable time does not exclude u from this site, people who believe pregnancy is a happy experience are not always right, yes there are a select few who have wonderful pregnancies, but there is also the side who are miserable and uncomfortable the whole way thru regardless of how u came to be pregnancy or ur journey before hand. If u are feeling miserable let it out and find someone to talk to, it will only stress u out and make it worse holding it in. I heard it gets easier in the 2nd trimester, hold ur chin up chickey, :-)

I completely hate being pregnant. From weeks 6-33 I throw up 5 times a day, and that is while being loaded up with anti nausea meds. The meds make me even more tired than I already am with just being pregnant. I lose a ton of weight from throwing up so much and I get so many cramps and pains. I always feel like I am out of breath the entire 9 months and feel as though i can barely hold my own body up. Hate being pregnant, hate it hate it.

BUT...after losing 2 babies and trying for 7 months and then worrying we were gonna lose that one, I am now just grateful to be pregnant! I vow to whine so much less this pregnancy and just enjoy it! I am 5 weeks and the feeling like crap is kicking in, but I've survived it twice before I know I can do it again! And at the end I will have a sweet baby to hold! Pregnancy sucks! But its such a unique experience that we won't get to do a million times, might as well enjoy it for what it is-a miracle!

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.

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.

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

I think you just need more sleep. Eight times a night is excessive. Especially if you had cut back on fluids. You need to work it out with your doctor and make sure you don't have a UTI-if left untreated you could end up with a kidney infection. Bad for you and for baby. Also, I wouldn't suggest you ever complain about your pregnancy to someone who has been struggling or a stranger whose situation you aren't sure of (when we were doing fertility treatments my closest friend had a successful IVF and then spent 9 months telling me how miserable she was while we did one failed treatment after another), HOWEVER, the women here are and have been pregnant and understand how different it is for everyone and how hard it can be sometimes to keep those miserable days to yourself. You should talk it out with others, and I appreciate that you are sensitive of your audience. I wish more people had been when we had no hope.
