I know this will probably sound really strange to most of you ladies but I hate being pregnant, no matter how hard I try to like it I can't.
This is my second pregnancy and I had these feelings the first time around although I put it down to my first being unplanned, however once my son was born everything was fine, i love being a mum and I cant wait for July when this one is due, BUT I detest the whole pregnancy thing, the sickness, tiredness, heartburn, mood swings, stretchmarks, etc etc.
It does sadden me in many ways because I don't seem to come across anyone else that feels the same way, I tend to hide my feelings if anyone asks about the pregnancy I just run through the motions.
I never buy the magazines because they cheese me off with the glowingness of pregnancy which isnt me!
Well I guess I have off loaded my thoughts which makes me feel a bit better.
Sorry to depress anyone lol.

I understand how you feel. This is my first pregnancy and although I wouldn't say I hate being pregnant I certainly wouldn't say I'm loving it. I have 9 weeks left and everyone keeps saying it's not long to go but it feels like a lifetime to me. I want me back!!
You have reassured me when you say that you felt okay once your first was born because I have been worrying that I wouldn't bond with the baby because of the way I feel right now.
How long have you got to go?
You are so not alone and if you look back there are lots of posts from similarly pissed off people!! At least we can all be pissed off together!! xx
Don't get me wrong we both oooed and ahhed in Mothercare yesterday when looking at prams and I nearly bought a teeny outfit although I refrained as I am only 17 weeks at the mo, so i know its not about my baby I struggle with, but its what you have all said.
Everyone seems to be going out enjoying themselves at the mo and there I am swinging my bottle of bloody Schloer wearing my stupid maternity jeans (i'm so with you mum2another1) and mumsy looking clothes grrrrr.
anyway thanks for replying and making feel normal lol. x
I have started to answer this many times today but each time it ends up in a long winded rant so to be short and sweet - you are defo not alone and yep, have got my p****d off head on about it today!
Love Lee

I hate being pregnant - thats no refection upon this Child as we have been trying for two and a half years I JUST HATE BEING PREGNANT it does not suit me!
Kinda pleased my last message got wiped before I posted it because I got to say everything with out coming across as a complete B***h!
I listed EVERYTHING! people have told me that I dont have the right to complain as we were trying for this child for so very long... but wantting it doesnt stop me being sick or crying or being angry or not sleeping or being consitpated or not having any entitlement over your own body or stop streach marks or stop people making helpful comments about you being the size of a house even tho ive lost a stone and a half thru vommitting or not being able to sleep or having heart burn or having shit hair and skin or stops people assuming you can no longer socialise as your pregnant and cant drink or lol starting to list again!
Babe I promise you are not alone! xxxx
