Hi 💛 I'm 24 weeks today. Am I the only one struggling? Honestly, I thought being pregnant was supposed to be this magical beautiful thing. I obviously love this baby so so much and I'm so happy that we've been able to conceive naturally. I feel very lucky, and I'm not complaining about that. But this is really really hard. I have PGP which is so sore, and I just can't get around like I usually could. I'm off sick from work today because I just can't face it. I'm getting bigger (I am a larger lady anyway, size 18 for reference) and I feel so uncomfy in absolutely anything I own. I feel like all I do is complain. I had horrific sickness, which has eased a lot but seems to have been replaced by PGP... just feel like I'm moaning and whinging all the time. If I could take maternity leave now I would!!! That's how I feel ha! Struggling to keep on top of house work because I'm knackered and sore.
Not really looking for anything other than a virtual hug and some understanding. I have an incredible partner who looks after me so well, so I'm very lucky. But I feel he doesn't understand what it's like as a man, you know? I honestly didn't expect it to be like this, and I know I have 3 months to push through yet (which people keep telling me and is extremely annoying and makes me feel like they're disregarding how I feel presently) but surely it can't get worse????
