Earlier this week my neighbor caught me checking the mail in my pajamas at 4 in the afternoon. I told her I worked the night before. I didn't work the night before. Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds themselves bra-less and in pajamas all day on their days off.
ETA: I realize this is an opinion, but because it seems like this is so out of the norm, I feel like I alienate people when I say it. Therefore, it's more like I'm confessing it. So I'm leaving it.

So I'm not alone in this! I feel the same way.
I knew I liked you both! I do not like those shows either.
Pretty much the only time I'm not in yoga pants is in bed. Perk of being a SAHM.
Basically anytime I am not required to be in business casual for work, I am in yoga pants. Yesterday I put on some yoga pants for my appointment, then I wore them around the house all day, then I wore them out to dinner, then I wore them to bed and I am still wearing them now. Once I get around to taking a shower, I will probably put on some different yoga pants.
FFFC: I'm not going to have a baby shower because my friends and family are spread across the whole USA and the only friends that live near me are male.
I have a very strong feeling that this will be the only time I'm pregnant. We've already discussed adopting future children after this one. It's just been so terrible so far, I don't know if I can do it more than once.

I'm curious, what exactly is making you hate it? I know I'm definitely not feeling like a happy glowy preggle with the morning sickness and worrying and feeling fat. Really hoping second tri will treat me better.

Mostly I think it's the complications (2 subchorionic hematomas), and the worry and physical limitations that go with them. Not being able to do anything, on top of being nauseous all the time, is really worsening some pre existing anxiety and depression. It's just been a really tough few weeks, and I don't see it getting any easier anytime soon. I know I have a long road ahead of me.

For those who can't link: You can also fucking hate being pregnant. Even if you tried for a long time. Even if you went through hell to get pregnant. Hating being pregnant does not make you a monster. A lot of pregnancy sucks. Like, a lot. If you don't find yourself magically turned into a mother goddess who revels in being pregnant, that is perfectly fine and not a reflection on how you feel towards your baby. You can love your baby and hate the process. Really. It's all cool. And if someone makes you feel bad for not enjoying the swelling, vomiting, aching, and constantly being tired and uncomfortable, fork them in the eyes.

I wish I could LT this a thousand times.
*hugs* hun. You'll get through it, even if it's the hardest thing you have ever done or ever will do, but I can promise you it will be worth it. I'll also be here with you through all the fuckery, so you won't be alone.
I think women who love being pregnant don't deal with a lot of the shit that generally goes with it. They're like magical unicorns. Who would actually enjoy feeling like death for 3 months?
((Hugs)) akraus2015. I promise it does get better though. Like after first tri ends and you won't feel sick anymore, and hopefully your SCHs resolve, and then you feel the baby kick- it's the coolest/weirdest feeling ever.

According to my mother she loved being pregnant, lost weight while pregnant, and felt amazing.
That was until I told her I was pregnant, and then the truth came out. Sick as a dog during first tri, so much that she lost 10 pounds. Constantly nauseous and couldn't do her favorite activity which was cooking.
I think people "forget" the bad things and just focus on the good, when in reality they had as shitty a time as everyone else.
Add me to the list of people who don't love being pregnant. I'm uncomfortable, I can't poo, I get clumsy when I get big and I'm just not a fan of feeling like my body is not my own.
I can't imagine how it must be to add in serious complications or health issues. Hugs to you akraus2015, and anyone else struggling right now. It won't last forever. And to those of you who love being pregnant, love it! It must be amazing to enjoy such a special time in life!

FFFC? I pooped today and I am so freaking happy about it. Like over the moon. Haven't been this happy since I got my BFP. lol
To piggyback on yesterday's UO--I am so glad that baby showers are a first pregnancy thing. Although it was very sweet of MIL to throw one, I would not want to repeat that experience.

I think this also goes for women who LOVE giving birth. Oh, you didn't have a forceps delivery? How nice.

+1 I have even tried watching Seinfeld as an adult, thinking maybe I was just too young to appreciate it before. Nope.
