Just gonna take a moment here...I am not one who enjoys pregnancy! Don’t get me wrong I’m happy I can do it and I love my children but considering our bodies are built for growing and birthing children....they are S**T at it!!!
My first pregnancy was a walk in the park compared to the second! I’m not sure I would have done it again if my first was like this one!
We found out our delightful news after I spent a week eating pasta, my boobs started hurting and a bloat started to appear.
Now I’m 36 weeks and let me tell ya....my boobs leak , my bladder leaks, I piss all the time and most of it is a trickle but feels like my bladder wants to burst, my back hurts, I get headaches which were really bad when I stopped smoking and drinking caffeine.
I can’t sleep and turning over in bed is a big ordeal I have to use the headboard 🙈 this is due to my pelvis wanting to leave me! A little something they call SPD where you ligaments are so loose your pelvis moves separately and pops and grinds! So do my hips , shoulders and knees now!
I get sharp pains in my Vagina (fanny daggers) where his head hits my cervix! Can make it feel like I’m walking with a football between my legs. I can’t breath on my back so I sleep proped up or hang over the side of a bath as that’s no longer as relaxing as it used it be.
I can’t walk far, I can’t drive anymore cos I’m to fat with short legs....I’m hardly ever hungry so I force it down! heartburn is a bitch and I think I’m gonna burn a hole in my oesophagus soon....I also get this nasty thing where I burp nasty egg burps this just unwilling pops out my mouth and makes me want to throw up for a few days until it stops for a short period.
My gums bleeds when I brush them which is the only thing that temporarily helps the nasty sweet or matalic taste you can get in your mouth (something to do with a hormone I think) Oh oh don’t forget constipation (leads to bleeding) never thought I would miss a daily poo.
legs are restless or cramping, I want/need to clean clean clean, I have NEW stretch marks even though I’m riddled with them from my last pregnancy, I was massive and yet I’m now bigger than before and still four weeks away from the end! What is my skin doing to me....trust me ladies if your gonna get these stretch marks no cream or oil will save ya! I’m sorry I did it three times a day a look at them!!! Also makes your skin feel tight and itchy.
Baby brain....yeah I know people say it’s all a load of BULL but trust me....I can’t remember S**T! I never know if I’m coming or going, where anything has been put down and I tend to forget conversations to the point where a debate starts on if we actually talked about that subject, luckily for my partner I completely forgot a argument we apparently had where he stayed awake feeling bad all night....still convinced he dreamt it. 😂
My bottom has failed to hold up in this pregnancy and is no longer something I like about myself. My love Handel’s have taken a pounding from all the chocolate and pasta I felt like I had to eat, iv taken to abusing the fact that I’m gonna get big and round and in turn made it even worse. 🤦🏼♀️
I can’t see my Bits, neither can I groom them, my feet are long gone. All I can see is a belly with a massive belly button stuck out and my dinner plate nipples that have for some reason not only change in size but get darker!
what’s with people thinking it’s ok to say wow not long to go then....when you explain how far you are they look like their eyes are gonna pop out their thick skulls! Then still feel the need to comment on how big you are! Hello people I’m Completely aware after all I am the one carrying the big ass lump!!! What a way to make a woman feel amazing!!!! Everyone should have a list of things not what to say to a pregnant woman.
And please stop touching us! Ffs I’m gonna start rubbing stangers bellies back....I’m sure you will all love that!
OH and this photo is me suffering in hospital with.... no not labour! a bloody kindey stone which is due to my pregnancy! Thank you crap body for just producing another thing for me to push out! How wonderful dare jinx it and wonder if anything else can be thrown at me!?
To be honest ladies and gents I’m lucky to not have more things To dislike about pregnancy as the list is different for everyone and unfortunately they are also more dangerous and even life threatening conditions you can get while trying to grow a human on top of the fear of getting it out.
As much as I dislike carrying a human I just want you all to know that it’s ok to not enjoying being pregnant as it doesn’t make you any less of a mother, I love my first born more than anything and I can’t wait to express my love to my new arrival.
Pregnancy is just not what it’s cracked up to be and unfortunately not everyone tells you what’s going on with their bodies or even childbirth. I’m sure I have even forgotten a few things I could still add to this massive rant.
I’m sure I will have a lot to say once it comes to the joyful day of pushing him out.
