My first pregnancy was miserable too...I hated being pregnant about 98% of the time and had so many complications, I was sick for the first 6 months and was always dehydrating and I was just miserable. After my daughter came we started trying when she was 2 months old because I wanted my kids close in age...it toko 5 years to conceive again and this pregnancy is smooth and easy....Except that I don't want sex wich is a good thing because I am on pelvic rest and partial bed rest for I dont even know how much longer.
With my first I lost my appetite and started feeling sick right before I had her...I would call your doctor because the way you are feeling is how I was a week or two before I had her.
The commercials...yeah I cry all the time. I hate that but its all good.
Good luck and hope you get to feeling better.

i called the dr earlier today and spoke with one of his nurses... she said im mostly cramping due to my uterus still stretching and stuff and there's not much i can do.. but ive been cramping pretty bad for the past 24 hrs and having lots and lots of discharge *tmi i know* i just wanna ball up with a pillow and heating pad (for my back too) my back is starting to ache pretty bad.. but she said for me to call on monday if it doesnt get any better.... ugh easy for her to say *wait*

though i would never want anyone to feel the way i do, i am so glad i'm not alone! all i hear about are people who're so happy to be pregnant... it makes me want to scream, lol... i was sick for the first 3 months and just when i thought all was well i've developed that horrible pelvic pain us preggo's can get... i can't turn over in bed or on the couch without screaming out in pain sometimes... i'm 32 weeks and cannot wait for this to be over... that said i have found a bright side and thats feeling the baby... you're almost there too, good luck!

I was miserable with my first (morning sickness all day every day for 9 months) but I thought part of my moodiness and unhappiness was due to being single and doing it on my own.  I worked 40 hour weeks up until I had her.  This time around, I am married to a wonderful guy, have great support from just about all sides, I have everything we need for now for baby but I still don't like being pregnant.  Fortunatly the morning sickness went away in the first trimester but I am on zantac (150 mg, 4 times a day) for the heartburn that is horrible.  I fortunatly have not had the headaches that I had before and most of the cronic pain has gone away but my feet swell so bad, my hands hurt all the time from swelling.  My back hurts by the end of the day and I'm still working 36 hour weeks (having 4 hours off to go to the doctor once a week).  It is just been a similar experience and I thought it would be better.  Granted I'm 10 years older now and maybe that has something to do with it but for me, it didn't get better with the second child.  I am really ready to be done, which shouldn't be too much longer, I hope.

I keep praying for an end! if i could just sleep till he got here that would be great but with hubby being gone due to work (so i am the ONLY caregiver in the home) and 2 rambunctious little boys i dont see that happeneing! GL and remember once your little one is finally here you will know it was worth it!

Aww that sounds like me when I hit 32 weeks. I was soooooooooo anxious for my little guy to show and I told EVERYONE that he would be my one and only because I felt that my pregnancy sucked but, the week after he was born, we were enjoying him so much that we were talking about another. And Looking back, I really enjoyed my pregnancy, dont get me wrong though I was incredibly uncomfortable but looking back I realize that I did enjoy my pregnancy. I ate whatever I wanted (HUGE mistake as I put on 70+ lbs but, everything was so yummy) and I could pretty much wear whatever I wanted because I was pregnant and thats cute :) I didnt have to deal with alot of stresses at work or at home because I was the "crazy pregnant lady" and no one wanted to stress me out :) Anyways...I was so anxious for him to be here and then once he got here it was all about him and then I turned into the crazy non-pregnant lady with ppd :(

My point is this.....enjoy your pregnancy :) You will only have a "first pregnancy" once :)
