I do not like being pregnant. I'm sorry to all those who "LOVED" it so much, but I can't fake it anymore. I don't like it. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to meet my little spawn in a few months, I am excited to buy the baby stuff and I'm excited when I start actually looking pregnant, instead of just looking fat. But right now, I am either nauseous, hungry, or tired. And I'm not talking a little tired, I'm talking I took a 4 hour nap yesterday and then proceeded to go to bed at 11:30 pm and sleep until 8 am tired. I couldn't imagine having to care for someone else other than myself (hubby doesn't count, he's been remarkably self-sufficient as I've been dozing in and out of consciousness).... Do I sound like a selfish beyatch? Probably so.
And I keep hearing, "it'll get better, it'll get better"...but I want it to get better now! For instance, I do not run anymore. Running kept me relatively sane. But I can barely make it to the gym, let alone run! The day I tried to run on the treadmill, my boobs hurt so bad I had tears in my eyes. And holding on to them just made me look weird. A crying, boob holding fat chick trying to run a decent clip on the 'mill = people looking for Jillian or Bob to jump out and yell at me to keep going.
Whine, whine, I know. But as I search the web for sites to educate me on all things baby, all I'm finding are women who are SO FREAKING HAPPY they are pregnant and I am becoming despondent. I don't want to read the baby sites anymore. I have the basics: no sushi, no booze (two of my faves, of course) and I don't want to hear about how feeling like you are gonna vomit in your work clothes makes you feel so awesome because you are pregnant.
Give me a couple weeks.....maybe I'll miraculously turn into one of those stepford wives. But I am thinking probably not.
Off to take another nap!

Sorry...but I hate it too. My mom and many friends LOVE being pregnant but you remember me full of leg cramps when you'd stay at Hotel Garcia and back aches, stomach upset, heartburn, as big as a cow, etc... Yuck but the baby is definitely worth it in the end. I really hope you feel much better and love it soon but I'm a realist and I'll totally own up to only enjoying the 2nd trimester of both of my pregnancies. Enjoy the naps, I napped all the time I could when I was preggo with Jack.
You are cracking me up. Even cranky and prego...you are so funny! I hate being pregnant too! And, all I can say is it gets less and less fun with each additional pregnancy. But...it has not stopped me b/c it is soooo worth it when you get to meet your new little person! Hang in there, you will soon get some relief! Love you!
Girl I don't know what websites you are reading but those women have FORGOTTEN how it feels to be pregnant. It is insane. You either want to puke or eat everything in site. or you need to pee every 10 minutes, or your hormones rage out of control....Trust me, not all women love being pregnant but like Nicole said getting the beautiful prize at the end is what makes it all worth it. Hang in there! The 2nd trimester will make you feel like a new woman!
Pregnancy sucks.
Ugh! Sorry Sarah- I feel your pain-I HATE it too! Ask Nic- I am NOT a happy prego. It totally sucks and if you want a preview of what's to come- that NO ONE warned ME about- flatulence, heartburn, hemorrhoids, getting kicked in the ribs, hips, back, sciatic pain and that's just the beginning! Geez, I'm not even prego anymore and I'm still complaining! :) But you will LOVE the ending!!! Baby feet are the best!
