Good thread!

Frankly, as much as I hate when pg women and people with children complain, I think it's normal. Above posters are so right about the idealized picture lots of us have about pregnancy and parenthood.

I'm sure I would NOT enjoy pregnancy. I'm sure than when I'm a SAHM I will complain, too, because I know it's going to be hard to have to keep the little one entertained and not feel very lonely from not meeting many people anymore (I don't earn enough to keep working). But it doesn't mean I won't love my children - I just expect it to be hard at times.

But yes, some people just like complaining about things too (and I have to admit I'm one of those sometimes, when I'm in a bad mood)... and I can imagine that for women with careers, for example, having new priorities must be quite a change.

My opinion though, hopefully I won't offend anyone, is that when it comes to talking to people who have to go through h3ll to have children, it's pretty often ****ed if you do, ****ed if you don't... Even when people really try to be sensitive about it, it seems an impossible task when the persons you're talking to are just bitter about the whole thing anyway (and yes, I'm talking about myself here too).
