i am jealous of

yes! I've had mild/moderate HG, wicked, unrelenting tailbone pain, and shingles. I'm very jealous of women who can go through pregnancy eating well (for a long while I couldn't really eat or drink much at all), going out shopping, working, taking care of the house, etc. For almost 5 months I couldn't do any of this on any level, and am still having to take oral meds to control it. And that's just the HG!

I feel really cheated of the pregnancy experience so far, and still cry out of frustration sometimes when I feel like my body maybe just wasn't made for this. DH tries to reassure me and chalk it all up to bad luck, but after so much going wrong, it just makes me wonder :/

I know I'm probably just whining, and everyone experinces their own pain...whatever is going on with everyone I hope we all can experience at least a little of the pregnancy we dreamed of having!

I am jealous of anyone who doesn't have to deal with varicose veins or vulvar varicosities...they are extremely painful and I HATE THEM!!!

And jldumm...I just want to encourage you that usually the 2nd labor is much faster than the first. Mine was cut more than in half and I have a friend who has 4 kids and each labor time was cut in half for the next.
