Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I hate being pregnant (lemmy.world)

I'm pregnant again and I guess I'm looking to vent and maybe for some affirmation.

This is my second baby, but it's my fourth time doing the first trimester. We've suffered two losses.

I'm only 7w5d and I'm already so tired of being pregnant. I'm awfully sick all day every day and I'm crazy tired no matter how much sleep I manage to get. I'm doing my best to meet my toddler's needs.

I just hate this and because of my losses I feel so guilty hating every minute of it. There's nothing beautiful about this. I just feel nausea all day long, I throw up every morning, I cry at every stupid thing, and I'm dog tired. Every smell is overwhelming to me and most food disgusts me and I'm too tired to make myself anything to eat, so I'm always hungry.

I wish I could tell everyone I come into contact with as an excuse for my exhaustion and low effort, but I know how much I won't want to talk about it if anything should happen so I'm pretty stuck there.

I just hate it and I wish more often the media would be honest about how doggone awful it is. Nothing is working to relieve my nausea. The thought of ginger makes me puke from trying that for my morning sickness so much last time.

I guess that's all. Ain't being a woman grand.

If women were told the truth about pregnancy/childbirth up front I think many would abstain. It’s miserable for a lot of us. I hated every single minute of it as well. Even when everything is perfect you still often feel like shit physically and mentally(as you do). It’s okay to be tired of feeling like shit—you are valid. There’s nothing wrong with you for feeling the way you feel. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
