Family don’t understand.
Does anyone else have to deal with their family not understanding the things they’re going through in their pregnancy?
I’m 32 weeks pregnant, and it’s been hell from the get go.
I’ve got PGP / SPD and it’s got to the point where some days I cannot walk. I’m not sleeping. My asthma is extremely bad at the moment and I’m on constant steroids and antibiotics. I’ve had complication after complication during my pregnancy which has obviously made it difficult (she’s not growing, having to be seen several times a week, reduced movements, etc etc), and obviously on top of all of this and the usual worries and concerns, were also in the midst of a global pandemic and I’m classed as clinically extremely vulnerable due to asthma.
My sister has just compared me to “everyone else” and has made me feel completely invalid. She’s told me I shouldn’t be having a baby, that I’m overreacting and that im just “making excuses”. All because I said I didn’t want to risk public transport. It’s completely broken me. During a time when all I need is support, I’ve been broken down by someone who I thought I could count on :(
I don’t know what the point of my post is, i just needed to rant.
Achieve your health goals from period to parenting.
