Answer

The "sexy times" may help to relieve some stress or a massage, perhaps even a hobby to just distract you from it. I'm still carrying my first so I can't speak for the 18 years part. My mama always said, "Your child will treat you as you have treated me," and I like to joke and say she must have gave my grandma hell 😂 Posts and stories on these forums tend to help me look at the sweeter moments so maybe this little tidbit could help distract you? I share a birthday with my great grandfather and if all goes according to plan (which it rarely does I'm told lol) my son will be born on my great great grandfather's birthday. We found out I was pregnant three days after Christmas, the day my cousin Irene had passed away, she was like a sister to me so when I told my mother it brought her to tears. If none of that took your attention away from the cluster of stress here's a poem my cousin had wrote in high school:
"Come close to me so I can see your face,
come close to me I can feel your loving grace.
Come close to me so I can see your smile,
come close to me so we can walk down that aisle.
Come close to me so I can feel your face.
Come close to me so I can feel your love,
come close to me so I can see this gift from above."
We used to laugh about this poem as she said it was the worst thing she could put together last minute but now for our family it's the most beautiful piece of her she has left. 💓 Have a blessed evening and I hope you can find peace through remembering or hobbies, I like looking back at growing up and thinking how it might have been for my mother all those years.
