just NOT happy

I am not enjoying this pregnancy as much as I thought I would! I just don't feel good. I knew with twins it would be more difficult...plus it's been almost 7 years since my last pregnancy.

Has anyone else felt like this??

Right now I would love to go to bed but my back is killing me and the babies are moving all over the place and it feels like they are jumping on my cervix!!! I have to work in the morning 7:00am to 7:00pm...sooo excited, NOT!!

I am just wishing I felt better...I don't want to hurry it along too much but I can't help but wishing I was closer to the end!!!

Any words of encouragment out there????

 

Hun,
I am feeling the same way. I am soooo tired and have a two year old that I can barely keep up with. My skin is stretched to the max, my back aches, I have terrible heart burn and I can't sleep at night due to having to go to pee every five minutes, braxton hicks and being completely unable to get comfortable in bed! I also want these babies out but I know the longer they are in there the better.

I am trying to look at this way... it sux, but I will hopefully have two smiling bundles at the end! Consider this your first sacrifice for them as a mother...many more to come I am sure. Treat yourself to something - eg. a massive block of chocolate, a girly flick, an early night? And stay smiling.... I would but my two year old just woke up from her afternoon nap <_< Sigh.

I’m with you. I was fine until December but it just seems like one thing after another….and I’m plain miserable.

It’s also been 7 years since my last pregnancy and I HATE feeling so needy, but like you I’m trying to cook these babies. So I can’t do much of anything at normal capacity. It was so much easier when I was 25!

I guess I have no words of encouragement…just sympathy. And complete and total understanding of the sentiment.

 

I was the same during my twin pregnancy. I was uncomfortable and my heartburn was horrible. Twin A's head was pressed into my bladder and I had to pee about 5 times an hour. I felt guilty that I didn't enjoy being pregnant with the boys since I did enjoy my first pregnancy. I wish I had some words of advice. It will be a distant memory once your babies are safe in your arms.

 

[SIZE=12pt]So sorry you feel so awful :hug: [/SIZE]

 

Get treatment for your heartburn! You do not want to harm yourself. I feel the same way. I sleep like crap and I am not even that big yet. I just keep my eye on the prize!

 

I am sorry. I was miserable too. I didn't glow I didn't feel great. I felt like a cow. I was on bedrest and just plan ol miserable BUT it will go by faster then what you realize :friends: and pretty soon you will see your two beautiful babies and realize it was all worth it.

 

I feel the same way!!!! My skin is stretched sooo much and it hurts!!! I can't find a comfortable spot to lay down and sleep and then when I finally do one of the babies starts kicking....I guess they don't like the spots I pick! My back hurst everywhere and I'm having BH! The worst part is I'm on bed rest....so I'm in bed ALLLLL day long and I pretty much spedn the enitre day switching from one position to the next!

But I keep a smile on my face because I know I am doing the best possible thing that I can for my babies and in the end I will have to happy and healthy little bundles of joy!!!!! It's the first sacrifice out of MANY that we mothers will have to make for our children!!!!

Hang in there and I hope you feel better!!!

 

:hug: I'm sorry you are feeling so down and out. But looking on the positive side, you are more then half way there. :good: You are doing a great job and this is only a short amount of time in the grand scheme of things. :hug: I know it feels like it's years since everything is hurting, but this too shall pass and soon enough you'll be holding those gorgeous, cuddly babies and it will be all worth it. :hug: Hang in there momma.

 

Hang in there!!! :hug: :hug: :hug:

I am one of the ones that did not enjoy being pregnant AT ALL!! It was really rough on me physically & emotionally BUT as others have said, once your little ones are here all the aches and pains will be forgotten once you see those cuties!! :hug:

 

If it makes you feel any better, you encouraged me by this post, so I know that I'm not alone! I've struggled so much this pregnancy, and I feel like if it's not one thing, it's another (from puking to back aches to heartburn--the woes never end!). Lately I've been trying to focus on what "suffering" produces, though. In the Bible, in the book of James I believe, it says that suffering produces perservance and perservance produces character and character produces hope. I've been trying to keep my eyes on the fact that I'm learning character through all this! Press on!

 

Ohhh yeah. This is NOT the "cute n happy" little pregnancy I experienced w/ DS. I felt GREAT for most of that pregnancy, with only the last couple weeks being challenging. This is a whole different ballgame! I was having my own pity party last night because it literally HURT to sit on the floor and play with my son yesterday so I felt like I was being a rotten mom. Then the peeps woke me up at 2am beating the crap out of me (and it went on for a LONG time). Then the ONLY pair of pants (yoga pants, at that) that fit me were suddenly horribly uncomfortable on my belly today. Of course, this is only a partial list for the day. *sigh*

If it's not one thing, it's another. I like to think that my body does pretty well pregnant, but this is HARD. I try not to whine, but...this is HARD. It seems like my aches and pains go in phases, so I just try to focus on the fact that whatever I'm struggling with that day will, in fact, pass. Not that it won't be replaced w/ a NEW issue, but.... <_< I also realize (thanks mostly to this site) that however bad I'm feeling that day, there's some other poor woman feeling even worse.

Hang in there!!! We're nearing the home stretch! :hug:

I know how you feel. This is my second pregnancy and other than morning sickness the first pregnancy was smooth sailing. This time I've had heartburn like mad, hyperemesis gravidarum ( yuck!), my back kills me. I toss and turn at night. Plus I'm hormonal and irritable. lol And whiny! Still a long way to go, I know. I guess we will get our payoff when our babies are finally here. I'm just ready for this part of it all to be over so I can have them here. I'm so over the novelty of being pregnant and I haven't even gotten to the really "fun" part of being pregnant with twins... being so huge you can't move! lol

 

I think it's okay to be down at times initially, you just have to hurry up and pick your self back up. The babies need you!!

 

I completely know where you are coming from!!

I am only 23 weeks, and I am home all day with DD, and I am exhausted. The other day, we went to the grocery store for a quick shop, dropped off books at the library and mailed a package. It is a ten minute ride to town, but everything else is close together once we're there. Once I was home, I was ready to drop.

Nothing gets done. I have no energy.

MIL is coming today b/c DH has to go to Dallas for business. She is going to stay with me for the week. I am so looking forward to this. We get along 98% of the time, but I am just so grateful to have help all day long for a whole week.

But seriously, I probably have 3 more months to go. It is only going to get harder to do things.

 

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. :hug: I hope things pick up for you.
