I never wanted to have a baby, but I wanted to be a mom. I wanted to adopt and just love them that way. My husband didn’t want that so we decided to try and get pregnant. It took a while and then it finally happened. I was super excited that we were finally on the path! Then I was nauseous and vomiting for 15 weeks. Finally get past that and my brain starts letting me down. I can’t multitask any longer. I can’t remember people’s names. I’m hungry all the time but nothing sounds good to eat nor do most things taste good. Then I get a stuffy nose for no good reason other than “yup, pregnancy is weird.” Now I have a cold and can’t take anything, just found a cavity out of nowhere, and really want to be done with this whole thing!

Am I alone in this? Because I want to love this kid but I can’t seem to get past how much I hate being pregnant because I just don’t feel like me anymore.
