Just need to whine and moan about pregnancy for a moment.?

While you're at it. I want to vent too. I am so ******* huge that I haven't been able to shave my legs in about a month and a half. I can't put on my own socks, my back hurts so bad and tylenol, back rubs, hot patches, ice packs, or anything isn't helping. My hormones are INSANE today. My ex keeps calling and I spent all day filling out papers for a restraining order, I don't have any bras that fit, I have the biggest size maternity pants known to man and they are still too tight in my thighs and my family is driving me NUTS. Other than that I'm feeling peachy =) You are not alone!!!!

Girl, Im right there with ya! Im 39 weeks pregnant and anticipating the day I can go to the hospital and get my daughter out of me so my body can be mine again. I havent been able to shave my legs by myself for the last 2 months. I cant put on socks either, let alone put on shoes. I dont have any pants that fit comfortably anymore. My sweats are even too tight. I have 2 pairs of pants that ARE comfy but dont want to do laundry. When I walk, my lower back pain is an 11 from 1-10. My bf gets on my last nerve EVERY DAY! I have no patience. I cant wait to lose the 50 lbs that I have gained.

So at the end of the day all I can say is merry christmas and we will get thru it. Could u imagine if men had to go thru this? they wudnt be able to hande it!

Hey sweety!

First let me say Merry Christmas- even though your hormones are driving you nuts you should still try to enjoy the season.

I know how you feel though. I'm 34 weeks at the moment- the hormones have actually lessened a bit in the past couple weeks. I have gained 33lbs so far going from a size 0 to a size 6 so I can really relate in the not wearing cute outfits anymore. My entire thighs and *** are covered in deep purple/red stretch marks. None on my stomach thank God. My belly button has been totally flat since around 26 weeks.

I'm on partial bed rest but still work 6hr shifts at work because we need to save the money.

You'll make it I sware! Ice your back and i wish i could say shaving got easier. I almost fell over in the shower a couple nights ago lol

Oh I feel your pain!! lol I am 23 weeks, due 4/20/10...I am in constant pain too I can't even walk in a store for more than 15 minutes without my feet or back hurting. Every time I get up from laying or sitting it comes with noise from pain!! I hate it. Also I can't tie my shoes, I can't see shaving down there...It is a blind procedure at this point! lol Also the maternity pants I have aren't great. They fit but after I wear them for awhile they start getting baggy and look like crap. I feel so scrubby in sweat pants too it sucks. I miss my old clothes and my body and can't wait to have it back!!

Try and not stress!! Believe me I know it's hard and maybe I shouldn't be talking lol but just keep remembering that you have a beautiful baby growing in you and that it will soon be over and you will get to hold your bundle of joy!! Congrats to you!! :)

I just had my baby 7 months ago and no you are not the only one that has these problems. I felt like crap, i couldn't wear my cute outfits anymore i was always in pain and could hardly sleep. I was literally going to rip someones head off. I remember that when my sister would call me and tell me every thing was fine i would scream. So yeah, your not the only pregnant woman that went a little crazy. But just remember that in the end going through hell was worth it. I found that out when i held my baby for the first time.

well even though you and your boyfriend broke up he's still the father of the baby (I'm guessing he is the father, right?). This means you are still entitled by law to call him and cuss him out at 4 in the morning every time you can't sleep due to painful gas or back pain! Make a pitcher of a really pretty drink with lemon wedges or umbrellas in it so it looks like an alcoholic beverage and invite your girlfriends over for "drinks," popcorn, and a movie marathon. You'll all laugh and have fun and if they're good friends they'll listen to you ***** without complaint. It will be just as therapeutic as when your cocktails used to have vodka in them and no hang over in the morning. You gotta do lots o special things for yourself when you're pregnant.

I don't want to scare you-but it's only going to get worse. If you think you're in pain right now, just wait until you hit the third trimester.

I know it's hard but when you're having days like this you need to focus on the good things about being pregnant-like feeling your baby move.

It will all be worth it in the end.

Your definitely not alone! It's good to get it out! I'm currently 30Weeks pregnant and It's getting very difficult to shave, my hubby has to wash my legs in the shower, he's gonna be real happy now because he's gonna have to start putting my socks and shoes on me. I'm really sad that I can't wear my clothes anymore, All I wear is sweat pants and huge shirts! It's awful, but I know it's all gonna be worth it in the end! You hang in there though! You've only got 16Weeks to go! Good luck to you!

I hear ya on all of that....but....what helps me through it is just being happy that I am pregnant at all. I had a miscarriage back in May and it was the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me. So now I am grateful for every little ache and pain, just knowing that it's all because I am creating a little miracle! Maybe treat yourself to a pedicure with some friends, etc...congrats on you r pregnancy and happy holidays!

I dropped 40 pounds within 4 months of having my son. I didn't even gain that much with him. I got no stretch marks, and my boobs pretty much went back to normal. Believe me, it comes off easily. My son is almost 7 months, and I'm pregnant with my second. So don't feel bad. =]
