LOL...Janine!!

Oh I remember feeling just like that, and my friends would tell me

how they **LOVED** being pregnant and I just wanted to kick

someone. I understand and you aren't alone.

My hemmerhoids wents away after I gave birth, and it's normal to get

them durring preg.

Also, I know this might not help now...but really really believe me

when I tell you it's all worth it!

Hope this helps.

I am mourning the loss of my new clothes! Although my kind husband keeps

telling me its looks like the rest of my body is still shrinking... I am just

having a hard time with the clothes... and the dizzies, the irritability, and

the tiredness, did I mention cranky?

Hey Janine,

Out of four children the only pregnancy that I

didnt mind was my first ,hah then with my other 3

children each pregnancy got worse and worse! With

Kim(shes 10) I was in and out of the hospital because

of ketosis and severe kidney infections so I got to

spend it least a week a month in the hospital each

month and then they let me carry her and extra 3 weeks

to help her gain a little weight an I gave birth with

no pain meds...she was almost 8 pounds and was rather

large at birth.My third child (6 now) I was so

sick all the time no matter what and I swear I was so

big that sitting and standing was a joke not that it

matters because I went on total bed rest from the time

I was four months pregnant until I delivered her a

month early but again no pain meds and gullbladder

surgery which followed a few days later and with my

youngest Jake he was so big that I cried all the time

at the end of my pregnancy because of the pain,they

put me on pain meds at the very end but they were a

joke! He was almost nine pounds at birth,actually 8

pounds and I believe 14 ounces!

Yeah we should all start the I hate pregnancy club!

Oh girl! I hear ya......the fat roll, the itchy butthole. It's not

a fun trip mentally and emotionaly after you lose so much weight and

feel absolutely fabulous and then find out your pregnant and

everything seems okay, but then the fat roll starts to be a problem

and your back to finding ways to hide it like when you were 250+

pounds. Then your body starts doing things it never did before like

the hems, or maybe some gingivitis. When I was 9 months pregnant

with my first son (that was 20 months post-op) I felt like I was 300

pounds again. I couldn't move, I wasn't comfortable, I was very

depressed. I also gained 70 pounds back. Two weeks after delivery I

dropped a whopping 50 pounds, my hems were gone, and I really felt

like I was going back to the way I was before I got pregnant.

It's temporary dear.....it's all worth it though. :-) Even though I

didn't care for being pregnant; I still did it a second time. I'm 29

weeks now with baby #2.

Take care,

Lori~
