Why does no one talk about the pain???

girl, i knew pregnancy was a ride but not a ride like this🤣 i absolutely feel you on this one and i will NEVER be doing this again

honestly!! pregnancy was not this wonderful thing and there definitely wasn’t a “glow up” in the 2nd trimester like everyone says happens! also, i gave birth 4 weeks ago and the happy “newborn bubble” doesn’t exist 🤣 it’s literally just fighting for survival

@Kassia omg yes the belly hair!! why did no one inform me it was a thing at the time 🤣🤣🤣

@Hannah thiss!! I thought I’d enjoy the newborn stage because of how I’ve seen it online but honestly I’m so tired constantly and no one talks about it! Xx

I've been telling people: Did I hate being pregnant? Yes Was it worth it? 100% Will I do it again? Probably

@Hannah I think it is easy to forget the little, inconvenient things! Oh oh and the side burns!! I’ve never been so hairy in my life 😭🤣

We are all sold the lie into having one and the ride is going to get crazier afterwards

Omg I hated every second of it! Felt so guilty for feeling that way too, everyone said how amazing pregnancy is and it was far from it for me 😂😂xx

Yeah we don’t talk about the hard stuff.. I think we should say to young women and newly pregnant women “I hope your pregnancy is wonderful but mine was hard and uncomfortable and I’m here to talk about it.” Or maybe sex ed should get way more into the nitty gritty. On the bright side, the pain of pregnancy was a great time for me to practice my birth strategies and mantras! Honestly, birth was wayyyy easier than pregnancy in the end

@Daizee honestly! social media ruined it in a way cos it gave me all these false expectations when really i’m living in the trenches just trying to survive 🤣

@Hannah no same honestly I was so excited to have a baby and it was nothing like expected

My partner has had 3 kids from previous relationships and this is my first, he no longer has sympathy for pregnancy symptoms as he's used to his ex complaining and the relationship fizzled quickly I'm an over worrier and have a phobia of being sick (haven't been in over 20 years), also have a fear of needles, so blood tests are my worst enemy as I practically pass out and I'm due to do my gestational diabetes test in a few weeks and already crying about it Other half does give me sympathy most of the time as he remembers it's my first kid, but hell am I doing this again!! I hate the pain, the exhaustion, the emotional rollercoaster, the lack of sympathy and care from my work place, having to still do everything myself everywhere when I probs shouldn't, honestly hate this experience and can't wait to have the baby so I can at least hand her to someone and have a nap in peace and hopefully get better rest than pregnancy "rest" 🙄
