I am far from perfect in pregnancy.

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this post. This is for the moms to be that feel like an awful mom because they're not perfect. I drank a lot and smoked until I found out I was pregnant at 12 weeks. At 24 weeks I went through extreme stress and was prescribed Xanax and propranolol, I also started smoking about 4 cigarettes a day during that time. I got an abscess in my mouth at 27 weeks and was prescribed pain killers. I've been through a lot during this pregnancy and I feel like a terrible mom a lot of the time. The thing is, if you're not comfortable & happy, neither is your baby. I love my baby boy so much. I still worry about him every day. I make every prenatal visit and I've gone in for extras to make sure he's okay when I don't feel him move for a while. I'm not perfect. I never will be. I hope this helps some mom to be out there or a mom that went through some of the same things as I have. pregnancy is hard enough, feeling like you're doing a horrible job at it is worse. I hope this helps someone else. That's all.
