Just venting and wondering how everyone feels...

[Marcus's Mommy]

I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my 4th pregnancy. I have a boy turning 4 this month, a boy who is just 14 months and I'm pregnant with a girl.  I also had a m/c at 11 weeks between the boys.  All are blessings but.....

Does anyone feel tired of being pregnant? I hate saying that b/c with our m/c my husband had just said at 10 weeks that that pregnancy was boring compared to the first and then me lost the baby the following week.

I'm sooooo tired all the time. People say it is b/c I'm having a girl.  My belly hurts, mom says I'm carrying a lot lower this time, and my sides are killing me.  I feel like I'm huge... well I'm 182 pounds, and that is first thing in the morning, after I pee and while being naked...lol.  I started at 167 pounds, but my son was only 9 months then so I was a bigger than normal.  I get headaches all the time.  The skin on my feet feel like they are going to tear but yet they don't look swollen... maybe they are doing the middle age spread.  I am 34.  lol.

Well that is me venting... feel free to vent or tell me how wonderful you are all feeling...lol.  I just wanna sleep...

Thank you for sharing with me that I'm not the only one going nuts sometimes... you made me laugh when it feels like I haven't in a while.  Thank you thank you thank you.


HeathJo ~ Bless you for having twins... I hear the feet thing. With every child my feet get wider and wider. And summer pregnancies don't help the swelling feet!

Betty 12 ~ I feel your pain about the dress, some of my dresses look like potatoe sacks on me. It is like a moomoo dress (not sure if that is spelt right)  Doesn't matter if you are 1 going to 5 or 10 going to 14, we all feel big. :)

Popeyesgirl06 ~ Aren't ones thighs suppose to touch...lol. I don't think mine have ever spent the day apart...lol.  The sticking of legs during the summer months is awful.  I sometimes put my deodorant between my legs, it helps with the sticking and sweating.

Mj~mommy~manda ~ I'm not liking the whole peeing thing when sneazing either... but it isn't new, I've had practice with the other pregnancies. :)  I'm at the point I can't even stop mid stream any more. I tried at the doctors office last night and it just kept coming out...

Thank you again for sharing with me.  I'm 23w6 days today according to my first u/s, although I'm measuring 25 weeks, and due date was changed from Oct 29 to Nov 1. Who knows... and I've gained 14 pounds on my scale and 18 on the doctors.

Just wanted to comment and say that this post cracks me up!! lol betty12 the part about your dress is hilarious.. Because my mom just bought me a cute little babydoll dress the other day and I was like OMG that is so cute and then I tried it on and sat in my bedroom and cried because I looked like a fat old lady lmao! and then my mom came in to see it and she was like "whats wrong?" and i was like "look at me!!" lol she just started laughing and walked out.  
But anyway to comment about the whole sick of being pregnant thing.. Im not sick of being pregnant.. Im sick of my back hurting and being uncomfortable when Im trying to sleep.. Im sick of peeing my pants everytime I sneeze and not being able to chase my baby cousins without feeling like I just ran a marathon.  Im tired of having to pull over on main street to puke at night when Im driving home.  But Im not ready for this baby to come out yet either.. Lol he can stay in there for a few more months cuz I have ALOT of preparing to do for him yet.. well he has a place to sleep and enough clothes to last him a year but I still feel like Im not quite ready.. Nesting hasn't kicked in for me yet.. So Im still wallowing in the joys of being pregnant and Thank God I haven't gotten that big yet.. I can still do most things without my belly getting in the way and Im all baby so I have no weight anywhere but my belly.. I know this will get worse but hopefully not until way later.. I just get to cry about everything for now lol dead animals on the side of the road, my boyfriend going to work, my sister calling me preggo when she gets mad at me, my dogs barking at 5:00am when I just want to sleep... LOL pretty much everything makes me cry.. Its great.

I have gained about 27  pounds and am 26 weeks. I am never comfortable and sad as it sounds, sick of being pregnant. My fiance was terribly hurt during my 17th week and it has greatly over shadowed the pregnancy which is our only one because of our ages. He is still in the hospital and going on his 7th surgery (losing track). So, the emotions involved between the pregnancy and the accident are overwhelming. Oh, by the way, he was hurt at work.
Between the stress, my back, legs, feet, feeling like I'm going to explode and everything else you can think of besides "migraines" (watch me get one now) I get. The pregnancy is doing fine just this body isn't handling it very well.

The worst part is the weight gain is obviously not all baby, duh. For the first time in my life my thighs are beginning to rub together and I find that to be annoying especially in the heat (tmi). I am always tired but can't sleep well because when I need to "roll" (and it doesn't matter how) I have to wake up to make the trip. I literally feel like there is a watermelon in there.
I will say this for a fact. Since I don't  remember any of this from my last pregnancys and I am with this one I am positive I will appreciate every minute second I will have with this child because of all the suffering I went through while she thrived inside my body. I am older and appreciate things more today than I did 18-21 years ago.
As for those of you having twins........God bless you. I would have to cry everyday . Okay, I'm done whining now.........lol!

i feel all of you guys. i also feel huge my body aches all the time my back hurts all the time. i cant wait till my baby is here also and since this is my first pregnancy im scared to death about having him cuz its gonna hurt. i tell my dh every day its gonna hurt and he acts like he knows and says no its not it wont hurt at all i just want 2 beat him when he says that.lol i went 2 vegas for the 4th of july 2 visit my mom and sisters and took some stretchy jeans not maternity ones but ones that fit before i left and when i got there they didint fit anymore i was about 2 cry. but my sister who also went had brought an extra dress and shes alot bigger than me so it fit.i use to wear a size 1 and now i can bearly get into size 5  but if i buy size 5 jeans they will fit in the waiste and be huge in the legs ugh. so i have to settle for stretchy pants or maternity clothes for now.yay us!!! so yesterday i bought a summer dress at walmart and i came home to try it on and i felt and looked so big cuz dresses make you look way big when your pg so i was like omg i look like an old fat lady in this. so when my dh got home i told him i bought a dress and he was like you bought a dress try it on!!! so i said no i look fat and ugly and when i tried it on he was like awww you dont look fat and ugly it was so cute. oh and i feel like **** most of the time and so emotional and fat and ugly and embarrased. on the 4th my dh came home from work to find me sitting on the ground in the bathroom by the toilet crying my eyes out because i had pewked everywhere from all the heartburn i have i hate it and because as i was pewking uncontrolably i peeded everywhere(tmi) so i was crying and embarassed and felt like such alittle kid. i just want it to be october already!

This is my first pregnancy, but I gained 30 pounds in 2 months just prior to TTC due to grandmother's death, so I began with my body already at a disadvangtage. My hands and feet have changed size: can't wear wedding rings, not most shoe seither b/c not only are my feet no to long but to wide!! I used to be a 34B, and am now a burgeoning 38 C, and went from a size 4 to a size 12 before and during TTC. I spent the first 15 weeks  vomiting, and the second trimester has been horrible nerve pain, migraines, and searing rib pian. I am carrying twins, so it must be I am running out of room in there!

I only gained 4 lbs at 14 weeks from having such bad morning sickness, and will be weighed this Tuesday at 24 weeks. I bet I have gained 20 pounds since then at least. I just want this all to magically remedy itself port-partum. . .HAHA right?

Thanks for letting me vent here :-)

I am starting to feel your pain!!!  I am ready to get this baby out!!!  First I feel fat esp. when chasing around my 2 year old son, I can't hardly breath when I lay down or sit down cuz this baby is kinda up high, it is summer and hot as ****, and not to mention all I want to do is eat and I am not trying to blow up like a cow!! lol.  I miss my pre-pregnancy body, which was when I actually felt pretty good about myself.  I feel unattractive at times esp. when I see these girls all skinny and in shape.  Needless to say I guess I am venting too!!  Those blame hormones!!!!! lol.

[jeanbeanie]

This is the FIRST time my boobs have grown while being pregnant!! My 2 girls, My boobs didnt grow til I had them. Soon as I got preg with this lil guy, my boobs went from a 36D to a 36DD!!!! I can hardly wait to see what they look like when I have him and Im nursing!!! EVERYONE notices that first off soon as they see me, "My gosh your boobs have gotten bigger". If I hear that 1 more time Im gonna SCREAM~!!!!
