I know there's a few of you on here who say you love being pregnant. I have to ask, were you ever in serious pyshical pain to where you could barely walk anywhere or sit or just any pain to wehre it was consistant and not here and there?

I can't believe someone would be in pain like that, especially the entire last 3 months since that's when a lot seem to experience it, and still say "I love this!" :lol

I didn't mind being pregnant until I got to the 3rd trimester. This last month, especially has been really hard on me. I was fine until I started getting the pains. Lately, I can't walk, sit, or lay w/out cringing and tears about to fall. I'm normally very good at handling pain & trying to control it w/ my mind but forget it this time! :lol

Makes me feel bad when I read about how some of you love being pregnant and here I am complaining. I just wonder if it's b/c some have easier pregnancies than others?

I know if I could be active and not have the consistent pains, I'd be peachy keen :)

You are lucky! I hope the next pregnant for me will be like that...I'm keeping the faith :hehe Mine hasn't been terrible, it's just been real painful at the end.

It's ok, I'll get to say to her "you just wait till you have a kid! I hope he/she beats you up like you did me" :giggle

Yes I was in pain. When I got up to go pee the many times I had to stand still because my whole pelvic region popped. I had to roll myself out of bed like a beached whale, my feet were swollen to high hell, I peed every 5 minutes practically. Braxton hicks, Ethan would ram his head along a nerve in my pelvic region, heartburn etc..And yes I loved being pregnant more then anything in this world.

But that being said..You also need to remember it did take me almost a decade to even get pregnant. So even the aches and pains were a blessing to me. Honestly some people love being pregnant, aches and all...And others do not like it. My bestfriend hated being pregnant each and everytime. I just love every bit of it and cannot wait to do it again

Maybe....

Right now, I just want to scream....Honestly, I just get sick of hearing how happy these pregnant woman are and here I am, fighting crying out in tears and wanting to strangle them. Yes, I am happy she is healthy, but I am talking about the crap we experience.

Kristi, I'm sure if I have troubles conceiving after this one or cannot concieve for some reason, I'll look back and think how I'd love to go through this pain just one more time for another baby, so I completely understand where your coming from.

Hell, like Amanda said, it probably will go away after I give birth.

Right now it's just so hard for me to focus on the positive...I'm really trying but the more intense these pains get & so constant, it's getting harder...

Every pregnancy is different. I asked Rod if I complained about being uncomfy and he said not once. Only after I went overdue did I say I was ready for him to come so I could meet him. He did say I would mention that things cracked or Ethan was pushing too hard sometimes but that I would laugh about it :lol

You do forget alot. My labor was horrendous and I have forgotten the actual pain of it. I am just 1 of those people who loved even the aches and pains. I'm sorry :( But yes I did have aches and pains. I wasn't pain free. My feet were so swollen that even 10 minutes of walking ballooned them out. I lived in slippers for months. I wore the same 2 outfits cuz nothing else fit. etc etc

I know it is hard. But tryto just focus on getting things ready to help you stay busy and not focus on the pain. Also spend time with your man. Because this is the last time it will be just you two. Go out to dinner etc. Even if you are uncomfy. Once you go into labor everything is a blur. And once the baby is here everything changes. I had no idea how much things would change. Yes it was for the better (L) but definatly a change none the less :hugs

It's honestly too hard right at this point. The pains I'm having are not just uncomfortable ones. Even Phil can vouch I'm having troubles walking, sitting, or laying down. We had to leave lunch early today b/c it was just too unbearable sitting there.

That's the thing...I could deal w/ the swelling, infrequent pains and what not..but this constant crap is starting to wear on me emotionally since I've been dealing w/ the normal pregnancy symptoms.

Oh well.....I'm sure I'm annoying :neutral

dont worry about posting complaints being pregnant is a life changing experinece and yeah its difficult at times and it hurts and sometimes complaining makes you feel better. some women have great pregnancies with no pains but most are very uncomfortable and readt to get that baby out. i know i was with both pregnancies. dont worry about complaining your carring around extra weight that your body isnt used to and your hurting where you didnt know it was possiable. while i was pregnant with teegan i was like we are soo done i was in so much pain with him and passing out daily but yet i find my self this morning with baby fever. if i got prgnant again yea i would complain being pregnant is no walk in the park. just enjoy it while you can cause you will miss her kicks and such after she is born:)

I had a lot of painful moments with the other pregnancies.

With Anya I had a pinched nerve that kept me from standing for almost 2hrs at a time when I was at work at Wal-Mart. With Schyular I had thrown my back out for a month. With Timmy I had a car accident with him and almost lost him at 39weeks.

But I loved every single minute of it. No matter how bad the pain is i loved it. I loved carrying my child and knowing that the child growing in me is an extention of me that I loved more then my own life.

I think to each is their own though. I also don't just stay home and get lazy as I get further along either. I do my walks, excercise, get out and enjoy time with the hubbie or kids.

I think when you sit at home and focus on being miserable then you will only be ten times more miserable then you really are. Its all how you deal with your situation.

I was in pain with Aiden near the end, but I did love every one of my pregnancies. Like Michelle, I HAD to get out and do things or I think I would have started to focus on the negatives. This time I am so busy and even though I had m/s for a long time again I was still happy.

I loved being pregnany with my son.I never complained except of people taking pics of me when I looked awful. This one my only complaint so far is MS and I just want it to go away so I can enjoy this special time.

My first pregnancy was great. My second and third were bad in the end. I was so bad in the end with Wyatt my hips would give out and I would actually fall. Most days the pain was unreal.

Im sure every mom on here will tell you that once the baby is in your arms you forget all the other stuff. It sucks for now but it will be over soon. I had morning sickness so bad with my daughter. I also had a pinched siatic nerve. My back and legs were in constant pain. It hurt to sit, stand or lay. My back hurt from throwing up all the time. I had a headache alot of the time. I said Id never do it again but now I think I would. Hang in thre your almost done! Complain all you want.

Thanks...I'm not going to vent on here anymore. Don't want to annoy certain people.

But I'm sure your right Heather...I'll forget about it all once I see her :)

With my first pregnancy, the last month of it I was pretty miserable and once I went past my due date it felt like every day was an eternity and I wanted her out! LOL! My second pregnancy wasn't as bad, but I didn't feel wonderful or anything. Don't worry about complaining, the last month is really hard. But, it will come to an end, lol! You're almost there!
