What I wish I was told before pregnancy

Question

I’m so happy and over the moon I’m pregnant but one thing I WISH someone told me is how it’s not always sunshine and rainbows...sometimes you feel so alone and so unheard and it f***ing hurts. NOT once has someone asked me how I’m feeling and I honestly think this needs to be talked about more. pregnancy does things to your body and mind and you go through so many changes. I thank God everyday for my son but damn this shit emotionally rough.

Answer

Any friend that comes to me for advice I give it to them RAW. Pregnancy freaking sucks!! That’s my normal advice here too. It’s the real truth people need to know

Answer

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I’m fortunate enough to have a supportive group (both at work and at home) so my pregnancy is basically a daily conversation piece, and at least once someone asks how I’m feeling.
I completely agree that it should be acknowledged that pregnancy *sucks* for a lot of women, and that it should be normalized to talk about how much it sucks sometimes. It’s so necessary for a person’s mental health to be able to talk about stuff like this.

Answer

Girl YES. & you’re gonna feel that way when you give birth too lol. Sometimes things will happen and I’ll say to myself (no one told me about this!) 7 months and I’m still like wth? Lol I love him more than anything but still. When you’re pregnant everyone says how much of a blessing it is but no one really warns you what is about to happen to your life! It’s a transformation that comes and you don’t even see it coming even when you think you’re fully prepared. But honesty..so worth it💙

Answer

Yeah pregnancy is rough and I didn’t realize it was so rough. I think the women in my family didn’t go through what I have. I was the sickest I ever was during my first trimester and I still have to take medicine now that I’m in my second. You can’t eat or drink things because they smell and taste awful, you end up eating bad. Then you cramp and it hurts so bad because of round ligament pain. And there’s so much more: but I’m super happy to be having this baby ❤️

Answer

I agree. No one ever told me that you will be SICK as a dog for at least three months, if not more. Sick in every way possible. Nausea, vomiting, migraines (that put me in the hospital), constipation, diarrhea, body pains, sleep deprivation even before the baby comes. It’s rough and not to be glamorized.
