feeling guilty

Ha yes, 4th time around here and i haven’t taken a single bump pic😅 i took one every single week with my first, once a month with my 2nd, my 3rd was maybe once every other month, if that lol and this one i can tell is just going to get way less. I think the first experience is extra special and you want to document every single thing bc it’s such an exciting “first time” experience. I had guilt with my 2nd too but now i literally just don’t even have time to think of myself lmao and i tell myself it is what it is, doesn’t mean i will love this baby less, at all. Give yourself grace mama.🫶🏽
I'm pregnant with my second and feel the exact same way lol. Not that I'm not excited to have a second baby, but it's definitely different. I know more, so it's not "new" and I'm more comfortable with what to expect. I don't see it as a bad thing. I'm actually relieved because I'm also less anxious this time around 😊
Reading this I feel a bit guilty it’s my first pregnancy and I haven’t been taking bump pics 🤰🏽 I’ve been so focused on daily nutrition, symptom management, appointments, and balancing life. I think these are times we need to offer ourselves compassion and grace 💜 it sounds like your body is flowing with the changes and growth with ease which is beautiful!
Yup I found the ultrasound pics on the floor yesterday 🫠 I wasn't great first pregnancy either though and love him all the same!
I feel this too! I think once we start to show, it’ll become more “real” and maybe this is a moment where your mind is saying sit back and relax more. Firsts are always like omg omg lol but now we’re more seasoned moms and know 😂 it’s all nice but the ish gets real when those contractions start, meet ya on the way out 😂
Oh what a relief! Same for me. I keep assuming it’s because I’m older and busier but I think we’re just been there done that - at this point right?
you all have made me feel SO much better, thank you mamas!! 🫶🏼🩷
Totally normal!! You’ve been through it before already, so you know what to expect and you’re also busy with your first kiddo! I also forget I’m pregnant sometimes and am shocked by how I’m just going through the motions. Sometimes I even feel like it isn’t real and I’m just playing pretend at the OBGYN during ultrasounds 😂 I think these babies will start to feel more real and exciting once we’re showing big time and feeling them move around more.
