Is it normal to dislike being pregnant?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes. Plenty of people dislike pregnancy, even if they’re happy about the baby or excited to become a parent.

Pregnancy can bring nausea, aches, exhaustion, anxiety, and a lot of changes to your body and daily life. You don’t have to enjoy any of that—or feel grateful for it every minute—to be a good parent.

People have mixed feelings about pregnancy, and some love it while others mostly endure it. If the distress feels overwhelming or you’re feeling persistently low or anxious, tell someone you trust and consider talking with your pregnancy care provider; you deserve support too.
