I want raw and real.
I've been moody. My breasts are sore and I'm crampy. I haven't been the bright, happy ray of sunshine because I'm uncomfortable. My mother-in-law made a comment that kinda stung. I'm on the fence about getting pregnant. I'm scared and there are a million variables. And I'm worried about being a good momma. While I was complaining about the cramping she said "Stop complaining. It's just your period. We wouldn't have this issue if you would have gotten pregnant like you were supposed too". Burn.
Mind you I've only had cramping and sore breasts. AF hasn't officially arrived but yet in this moment I feel guilty for possibly getting my period and disappointing others.
Help me shine a new perspective on this statement. As women do we feel like failures when we don't/ can't get pregnant? Or when others want you too and it doesn't happen right away? Is our period our enemy or a beautiful, natural process? And why the fuck do people feel like the conception of my child, or lack there of, is any of their business? Should concieveing a child be a family (whole family) matter or an intimate matter between the paraents?
Get angry, sassy or whatever. I want raw and real.
