At this point, it seems to be everyone but me. My mother talks about how she loved being pregnant and how she would do it again if she could. My coworker said that she once wanted to be a surrogate mom so that she could just be pregnant all the time.
When I read other mom's blogs, I can just hear the *glee* oozing from their words, but I don't love being pregnant. I don't like feeling horrible and tired all the time. I don't like feeling crabby and worried about the little ones. I'm used to a two hour nap making me feel better (like for a cold or a hangover) but after a two hour nap now, I just wake up and feel like puking again.
But the worst of it all is that I'm convinced that the pregnancy isn't the worst of it. It will only get worse when the little ones are here and then I'll really be tired, crabby and hating life.
I'm already a bad mother. Maybe I should rename my blog to bad mommy...
Suz, I have not really been enjoying pregnancy either, although it has improved in the last two weeks. I went to see the genetic doc in week 7 and when I expressed to him that I was not really liking pregnancy (I believe my words were "it's not my style") he told me it was ok not to like it and to not feel the pressure to be "PC" about it - he told me that "if you don't like it, it is fine and don't be afraid to say it." I am sticking to this.
ReplyDeleteMy doc told me I could ski for a while (groomers), but I am kind of afraid to go...In the meantime I am taking up sewing again and we are watching the whole "Lost" series since we never saw it before. All while we wait for the snow to return so we can go snowshoeing.
So, anyway, what I am saying is that things you are saying are ringing true for me too. You are not alone (except for the twins business).
