Obviously I'm so grateful to be pregnant with a healthy baby and it will all be worth it in the end, but I really haven't enjoyed much of being pregnant at all. It's been relatively straightforward other than severe morning sickness throughout the first 16 weeks, but other than that it's been relatively plain sailing. I'm now 34 weeks and just very uncomfortable and looking forward to it being over. I just want my body back 🙈 There hasn't really been much of it at all I've enjoyed particularly. I'm constantly hearing some women (aka my mother predominantly) go on and on about how it was such a magical time, they felt so feminine and special, they're so sad they'll never be pregnant again, they would do it again in a heartbeat etc. etc. I can't identify with that at all... I'm genuinely dreading the fact that I'll probably go through all of this again one day. Surely there are other mothers out there that feel/felt like me?
P.S. I totally appreciate how lucky I am to be pregnant, that loads of women can't have children and would love to be in my position etc. etc. but I don't think that invalidates my own feelings. Be kind please 🙏🏻
