The official complaint thread...

[Mama Bear]

just to help me feel not so weird


My breasts have gotten much bigger (well, I was barely an A, and now a full B - so big for me) and they are so firm and so flippin' tender Even hugging my dh makes them ache.

I have to wear pantyliners/cloth pads b/c I can't seem to keep my pee-pee in : despite my consistent kegeling since I was preggo with ds

I have no sex drive, though dh's has increased mostly due the increased chest size mentioned above and when he have dtd I am sore for a few days - what's that all about?!?!? (sorry if tmi)

Anyone else wanna share your preggo complaints?

Well, the nausea went away and the exhaustion is better and now I'm totally cranky! WTH? I was looking forward to feeling better...I'm just wondering if maybe I was just too tired to notice I was cranky in the first tri.

No real complaints tho, just feel like I'm losing it for no reason.

No sex drive... and my tits are HUGE. I kid you not, I did a bra size converter thingie and it's a 36F. Also, migraines have decided they are my best friend. *sighs*

My boobs were huge and saggy from nursing, so they have nowhere to go but up from here but they ITCH LIKE MAD!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy cow, I just can't get at them enough! Especially that spot on the underside that I've never seen without the aide of a couple mirrors and a floorjack to keep the girls lifted and especially when I'm out in public, or worse... mothers day dinner with the MIL and her mom.

I've been completely exhausted the last few days, making me pretty irritable with the kids by evening.

I hate the pot belly look, I think I look pregnant, but others probably just think I'm fat.

I really don't enjoy the relaxin hormone, my hip goes out of place constantly and causes my whole leg to be achy, and last Thursday night I pulled a muscle in my foot and it still hurts! It hurt so bad Friday, Saturday and Sunday I could barely walk on it.

Ok, here are mine:

Boobies are huge and veiny and ugly. They hurt. Dont want Dh anywhere near em.

Constant twingy, pinchy pains in pelvic area.

Back sore already! Isn't that supposed to happen when I'm BIG?

I look awful: . I was a bit chunky to begin with so I'm not showing Baby yet, just the expansion from my organs and fat being pushed out, so I just look really fat. Maternity clothes look silly but my normal clothes are sooo uncomfortable.

I feel like a furnace! poor DH and DS are freezing at night while I'm lying on top of the covers with the AC blasting.

I am mourning the loss of my body after spending 6 years getting it in rock start shape. I then feel guilty for mourning the loss of my body. I am constipated, and as of yesterday want to eat anything in sight. Sex is the last thing on my mind and the first thing on DP's. Nothing fits. I feel like I am sucking wind just walking to the car, much less getting in a normal freakin workout. And I have gas.

between when I wake and about 1-2 PM I constantly feel like I ma going to faint.. (nausea gone tho yay)

add me to the ginormous (for me) sore boobs (I wear a training bra when not pg (really!) I SO get why women get breast reductions..

I look fat but not PG

I miss my cute summer tanks and shorts..

I have an old burn scar on my chest which is itching like crazy and all red and irritated.. ack

and where, oh where is that 2nd tri sex drive you hear about?? anyone anyone?? it's just not happening,, DH is getting downright cranky..

My IQ seems to have gone way down. It's difficult to work. I don't feel like I'm doing a good job and I also really don't care.

I have trouble getting things done. The day seems to go by so quickly. Just taking care of myself during this pregnancy takes a lot of time and energy. I feel guilty and very overwhelmed about all the work there is to do to get ready for these babies (we're planning a major remodel) and I'm not sure if I have the energy.

I worry I'm not eating enough protein, not eating well enough. (I'm having twins.) I fear if there are complications it will be my FAULT for not eating like I know I should.

I worry the babies are not ok.

I dispair at the idea that I will soon be large as a building and be unable to move/live comfortably in my own body and worry that the skin of my belly is going to be totally wrecked.

I have a BAD ATTITUDE. I tried to conceive for YEARS and now I don't feel delighted and blessed. Instead I feel a lot of "what have we done?!!!" I'm so worried about taking care of twins and how entirely our lives are going to change. I'm afraid of getting NO sleep and losing my mind.

I feel grumpy with my partner (who is very sweet and loving).

I just don't feel as happy and peaceful as I wish I did. I plan for this to be my only pregnancy and I feel like I'm ruining it with a bad attitude. I might as well enjoy this time. I feel physically very well.

I feel bad for feeling bad. (Maybe I need counseling.)

Bloomingmama, I'm sure you're feelings are all very normal. Even in a singleton or second/third, etc pregnancy they can be normal. But I do think you should discuss your feelings with your mw/dr the next time you see them. They can help you gain a little better perspective usually.

I have some!

~I am tired of getting up to pee every night at 11:00, 1:00, 4:00, and 6:30.

~I am tired of being tired

~I am tired of looking fat instead of pregnant

~I am tired of this rain, which makes me even more likely to lay around and do nothing :
