not enjoying the pregnancy
Hi everyone
Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I used to come on here but havent managed to log on in a while because the sites been really slow, dont know if thats just my computer?
I was on the sister site, you and your wedding for a long time and someone recommended this site to me.
I'm 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby and finding this pregnancy really hard! I had a really good pregnancy with my first but really struggling with this one, I'm keep getting period type pains when I've over done things a bit and the doctors and midwives keep telling me to take it easy but with a 4 year old daughter to run around after thats easier said than done! Anyone else having a hard time of it? Just finding it hard to enjoy the pregnancy which is shame because I'm at one of the best bits now because I have a proper big bump and feel the baby move but I'm just not enjoying it and I have sooo long to go! My morning sickness is still quite bad and I struggle to eat anything except flaming hot monster munch, not very nutrious! My daugher was born with a major heart condition and has had 3 sets of open heart surgery already so I've been having lots of scans to check this ones heart, I had one this morning and its all looking good so far but I cant help worrying.
Anyone else just want the baby and not the pregnancy?!

I really wanted a boy and then had a girl and I am so glad I did now! I love Abby to bits. I think its a bit easier to bond with girls but then saying that, a friend of mine had a boy and she bonded with him long before I felt truly maternal towards abby. Is this your first?

Cant wait til my next scan and double test results so i can see evrthing is ok and finally start to relax and enjoy my pregnancy
We watched alien vs predator when the alien impregnates the mums in the hospital and they have all these little aliens moving round there bellies and I told my oh and midwife - thats how I felt!
I just want my Tommy here now!

Be careful with the pelvic pains - mite b a poss sign of SPD (symphisis pubic dysfunction) where the ligaments in the pelvis are weakened due the the hormaines of pregnancy. It's probably not but just in case - mite b an idea to mention it to ur MW.
Anyway, wish you all lots of luck xxx
