Pregnancy is so HARD

Jeannie

My husband and I had a little difficulty getting pregnant, four months after we first started trying, we got pregnant and had a really traumatic miscarriage at 8 weeks...

Then it seemed like everyone we knew was getting pregnant EXCEPT us and it literally took us exactly a year after the miscarriage to get pregnant again.

I just remember being so resentful of women I knew that would complain about being pregnant. I just wanted to shake them and be like “OH SHUT UP ALREADY, THERES WOMEN WHO WOULD KILL TO BE IN YOUR SHOES, INCLUDING ME”.

However, now, I’m literally 30 weeks; running on 2 hours of sleep. I’ve been up since 2:45am, it’s now 5:36am. I’m surrounded by pillows in bed and still can’t get comfortable; my back hurts so much, I have the worst heartburn...the skin under my boobs hurts so much and feels like a really bad sunburn; the kicks are getting a little TOO intense and every time I start to doze off, I get a Braxton hicks that takes my breath away.

I get it now. I try to be conscientious of who I complain around because I KNOW the feeling of wanting to be pregnant so bad and being angry at women who complained...but also, I don’t wanna do this again 😂😭

10 more weeks.
