Some women hate being pregnant. That may sound surprising because it's more common to hear about women who love being pregnant, says Deborah Roth Ledley, a licensed psychologist and mother of two in Philadelphia, Pa. It's easy to envision pregnant women who have that "healthy glow" and continue to do everything they love doing from the day they find out they're pregnant until the day they give birth, she says.
In reality, many women are like Robin Nolan of Raleigh, N.C., who dislikes being pregnant. "I hated being pregnant because I felt unattractive," says Nolan, the mother of two children.
For some women, pregnancy brings with it a great deal of anxiety and worry. |

During her second pregnancy, Nolan's husband traveled, which left her home alone with a 1 1/2-year-old four days a week. To compound her difficulties, she lived in a new town with no real friends. "I also hated that wobbly way I walked when I was pregnant," Nolan says. "The second baby was so low; I felt like I had a bowling ball in my belly."
I hate being pregnant - as i hate the father so much i wish he was dead. I hate what he has done to me and I wish i had had an abortion. But he chased me and called me a murderer, stole my money, and destroyed my personality. i hate the fact that I am jobless, broke and pregnant - I live alone and am overwhelmed with depression about everything. i hate the baby inside as its half him. I want to do adoption - but then i have to say who the dad is and he will fight for him. i met this man on the internet and he turned out to be a wife-beater! I just hate being pregnant...I cannot get away from it.
I loathe and hate every aspect of pregnancy. I HATE it. Yes, it may be a "span" in life, and yes, the outcome is worth it...but getting there is a BITCH!!!
I loathe and hate being pregnant with every fibre of my body. And I want to punch people who tell me how marvelous it is.
While I hated throwing up 24/7 during my two pregnancies I loved the fact that a
beautiful life was developing within my
body. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
Nine months is such a short span of time and the gift of your baby is forever.
This is a very thoughtful article. I hate being pregnant. I hated it with my first pregnancy and am hating it full force with the second one. In fact, I'm not sure I'm strong enough to go through with it. That's how much I hate being pregnant.
