she's 37 years old and she got married last December and she's pregnant now. She found out she was pregnant when a few weeks ago and at that time she was only 3 weeks pregnant and now running 5 weeks. I know its not very easy being pregnant cause you will feel so many changes in your body. She is annoying me in a way that I think she's being a weirdo as a pregnant woman. I hate listening to her when she complains about the changes in her body and suddenly cries and then start to say stuff about her pregnancy and whining about it. I am also pregnant, 5 months pregnant but i wasnt a whiner just like she is. She's already 37 years old and a professional so its annoying me listening to her complains and saying everything about her pregnancy. As fas as I can remember, I got you find out i was pregnant when my stomach was almost 7 weeks and during the few weeks before that, I really didnt feel anything.

At first i laugh reading your topic. Anyway, is she scary about being pregnant or she is too much beauty conscious? If the first one, then i would like to know is it her first pregnancy? If it, then you should console her from your experience. If she is conscious about beauties, then its too much. Tell her that she will regain it after giving birth. Have a nice day..

I guess she is more scared about being pregnant rather than beauty conscious. I think its going to be worse if she was beauty conscious. Yes! Of course its her first pregnancy cause she got married last December. I really dont like telling my sister anything cause the more I entertain her emotions, the more she will complain.

wow! that means both of you are pregnant in the family..amazing!! Looks planned... but I know it's not. Was she like that when she wasn't pregnant, a whiner? I have a cousin too who acts the same like your sister. She's skinny but she gained weight when she got pregnant. She acts like ignorant about the changes but I know she knew it beforehand.. So i ignore her every time she's whining.

First of all congratulations to both of you! As for your sister, blame the hormones for the way your sister act and the way your responding to her. I know that it is very difficult to understand a pregnant woman especially if it is your first time mom. Physical and emotional changes happening in a pregnant woman needs a very long patience coming from the people surrounds them. Sometimes we cannot understand their mood swings, and food cravings. Pregnant woman are very emotional during their first trimester, so during these times they needed all the love, understanding and patience. Remember that it is not easy going through the first phase of pregnancy wherein you will vomit every meal or no meal at all, cry for no reason, and being grumpy to your partner of family member. I know that it is very hard for you to hear your sister whine, but be patience to her as maybe that is her way in coping to these changes. Hope you and your sister will have a safe delivery.

I know exactly how it felt like and I know how she is feeling right now cause I was also in that stage but I didnt let myself get carried aways but such emotions and changes in the body. Its an excuse to say that its her first trimester. My sister who already had 2 babies didnt do that, my sister in law didnt do that, and I didnt do that. And we wish she wouldnt do it and just be cool with it. Good thing I'm not there or I will really tell her to stop being such a weirdo.

I can easily relate to that but i haven't been pregnant yet and i know that most pregnant women have a lot of mood swings when they are pregnant and its just normal but sometimes there are some women who over do it. Kinda like your sister i also know someone who annoyed me when they got pregnant. Complaining simple things they feel and some little changes they think they should worry about. And it would just completely ruin my day...You just have to bear with her just until she deliver the baby safely and get even when she is back to normal...

That's what my sister is doing, she is over doing it that's why its annoying and I dont want her to do that cause all pregnant women are suffering from what she is experiencing now and they are being tough. And she's 37 years old for crying out loud! I want to tell her to grow up. I am even 10 years younger than she is and I am trying to handle everything and not over do it and this is also my first pregnancy.

Next time she starts whining change the subject or get up and leave if you're in the same room with her. If you're talking on the phone say you have to go that you're on your way out the door. It's ok to listen to her once in a while but if that's all she talks about it can get old quick. She's the one who wanted to get pregnant so she needs to suck it up and deal with it and stop complaining. Tell her it's her own fault she should have kept her legs closed if she didn't want to deal with it.

Exactly! She needs to suck it up and not bother others because of what she is feeling. I guess she really wanted to be pregnant but she's not good with dealing with those changes in her body. I am not living with her but my other sister is telling me more about her complains and she's sick of it and I am too.

Not all woman experience same thing or feelings when they're pregnant. Is it her firs time to get pregnant? If it's the first time,then bear with her. She might be having the pre-natal syndrome...changing behavior and so on. She might fear of having the responsibilities or might fear what she looks like when her belly becomes bigger. Just give her assurance that nothing to fear of and nothing to worry. She needs some advice if it's her first. Be patient and caring...

She is having all the care that she needs. She is also being loved of course. As I said, she's old already and this is also my first pregnancy just like her and I felt many changes in my body but I didnt let it drown me is something that it makes other people annoyed of people unknowingly. Its an excuse to say your doing those things cause your pregnat. She'll just have to deal with it.

Hi, Try to bear with your sister. She is probably more moody in her pregnancy. That is why she keep complaining about the change in her body,etc. Since both of you are getting pregnant on the same time, do share the experience and try to understand more about the motherhood life. At the aged of 37,she should be very mature and stop her complains. She is about going to be a mother,so she definitely need to change her character. Congratulation to both of you...going to be a mother soon!!

That's exactly what we want her to do. My other sister who had 2 babies already is also very sick and tired of her. My mother tried to talk to her about it and not to let all of her emotions carry her but she is so defensive. I hate it more when she trying to defend herself.

Every lady has a different experience in early pregnancy. Some ladies sail through t feeling quite well but other ladies feel quite unwell. The middle stage of pregnancy has the sickness going away and more strength usually. I hope your sister will sop moaning at 16 weeks pregnancy but she is bound to moan again the last 3 months of her pregnancy. Your sister is late in her life to have a first baby. Her hormones sound all over the place and this in pregnancy is totally normal. Good luck with letting your sister feel happier about changes in her body during pregnancy.

Some people are so over dramatic when they are pregnant so I can totally relate to what you wrote. I remember my sister was like this with her first pregnancy. She said she couldnt lift anything so she needed like windshiled wiper fluid or something in her car and she when I told her to lift the hood up shes like "I cant I'm pregnant". I cant even tell you how many times I heard that during her pregnacy. I never wanted to hear those words again lol.

Some people are and my sister's one of them. I also dont want to here it again especially from her cause we experienced what she is experiencing now and we controlled our emotions. Of course there were changes but we didnt let it influence us. I think time will really come that I have to tell her this whether she likes it or not and she should control herself cause she is only a few weeks pregnant.

I think she's just overwhelmed with these changes on her body. Well actually, pregnancy can cause mood swings too. You might not be affected by that, but other women do experience mood swings which might lead to paranoia or something. I really can't tell but this might be what's happening to your sister. Just let it roll over your shoulder and try not to annoyed. HEHE.

I wish I could try not to be annoyed but I am already very very much annoyed with her. And the changes in her body has nothing to do with mood swings. She's try drowning herself to all the changes in her body that she is being annoying. And she's 37 years for crying out loud, she should know better and I know she does. She should act like one.
